    Aquaman Playset: The Aquacave

    Presenting Aquaman's Aquacave! This mini-playset is done in the "Dida Display" design but could be modified to be a carry-case typeas well.

    I was using the old Jim Aparo Aquacave as reference (as seen in 70s issues of Aquaman and Adventure Comics) but to my knowledge they never showed the whole thing...Aquaman was always seen swimming through portions of it.

    (And wouldja believe my local comic shop doesn't have any of the aforementioned issues in stock! That's right...no 70s love for ol' Arthur Curry in this neck of the woods, er sea, apparently. SO I had to stick with the issues I had on hand)

    Anyway...inside:






    Outside:





    (Again, I couldn't find decent pics of Aqualad, Aquagirl or Mera from Aparo's stuff so I went with some nice George Perez artwork. But hopefully that can be replaced with the real deal eventually.)
    Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!

            Fantastic, Anthony! If I only had the space and my toddlers understood the words, "Don't touch!"

                  Like Scott, I'm taken with the exterior. The interior is really cool, but the exterior is just simply awesome.

                    That's beautiful!!! For me Aquaman is always the Jim Aparo version, loved him in the 70s!!!
