    Why no Aquaman wave??

    One would have thought that awhile back that FTC would have been putting together a Aquaman wave for the release of the movie. With a variant Aquaman, Mera, Black Manta and Ocean Master it would have been a great tie-in. There are times that I do not understand why companies do not think about this.

    Would have loved to see an Aquaman wave from FTC... especially Mera.

      I, too would love to see an Aquaman wave! Fisherman would also be a good villain choice, since we've seen two reMego Black Mantas.

        MEGO should have done the same thing. A 14 inch Aquaman would be doing pretty well right now I think...unless maybe DC doesn't want a comic version competing with the movie stuff?

          A missed opportunity to skip over Aquaman but no surprise, FTC did the same thing when the WW movie came out. I had hoped the WW figures would have looked better since that series arrived well after her movie came out.

          I would have supported a line of retro cloth figures representing the Snyder-verse. Oh, well, here's hoping the Lynda Carter figure is the best WW to date.

            If Aquaman becomes every bit the blockbuster its looking to be, I imagine FTC will certainly look into that possibility.

                  FTC doesn't work within retailer deadlines, if Aquaman is a big hit, they can release the set next year and it will still sell.

                  Hot Toys Aquaman won't be available until summer.

                    I believe Marty let that slip, that he is coming next year

                      Thank you, I couldn't recall. That's terrific news. I think Mego Corp. will do a great figure, considering how they essayed Poison Ivy's costume.

                        I have also expressed an interest in an Aquaman wave. Maybe Aquaman could be the Super Powers design. And definitely would like to see Mera. Please FTC. Make it happen!!!

                          What about Aquaman in his blue outfit? I'd be down for that.
