Discovered: Mego 3rd Series Carded Aquaman!

[RSS]

Leapin’ Lampreys! a major Vintage Mego Discovery! The Third Series Mego “Kresge” Card for Aquaman has recently surfaced (see what I did there?). I use quotes around Kresge because these early cards were sold in other stores as the “Mason’s” price tag on this example loudly suggests. It’s been rumoured to exist but it’s nice…

Of course I love Aquaman ephemera. I particularly like the flashy repositioning of Arthur on the cardback.

Yeah, that "new" positioning removes the rather unsightly cut off right arm Aquaman has.

What a find!

Dang I'm so sleepy today I didn't even catch that!

Quite a difference. I always thought the Aquaman card/box had the best background colors.

Yeah, the Purple really pops for him.

It's an unusual choice but I like it. I mean, I've always sort of wanted Aquaman on the teal Robin background color, but purple suits Aquaman contrast-wise better than it would any other hero except The Thing.
