Any interest in a repro Aquaman vs The Great White Shark set?

[reevefan78]

Thanks for your input. I think for display purposes, aesthetically speaking of course, it would still be good to include the prop in the back of the shark. But I could perhaps begin with a static model and see if anyone is interested in a motorized version and if so go from there.

If I'm going to do this I want to be as faithful as I can to the original in every way....at least from the outside....but it would still be obvious to anyone who is vaguely familiar with this item that it is indeed a repro.

Are you kidding!? Of COURSE I'd be interested lol.

For me, the motorized feature is not necessary, just a high-quality styrene copy with hinged jaw...

I do not think, if the shark is clearly maked as a repro & missing the motorized propeller, that many collectors would begrudge it. Reproes are everywhere in the world of Mego & GI Joe...

Nixing the prop. could help reduce production costs, too.


Bless you for considering this.

I think it is really sweet of you to consider this, you are obviously coming from a thoughtful and generous place...not just trying to make some money. I think it's a great idea and would be thrilled if you can manage it.

Im with you!! This is just a generous thought on your behalf!!!! And YES!! Id be interested in a repro one too!! I even have the B/O propeller thingy that goes with it!!!

You can count me in too! I may be new here but I'll definitely buy one if you decide to produce a repro shark.

Make it..., If you have the Means to do so.

It is an interesting idea.

Good luck and please keep us posted, would love to see pics of the process.

I'd would suggest perhaps vacuuforming the whole thing.
No dissassembly at all.

The buyer would get essentially a model kit of 2 peices (left and right side) to assemble.

I think that would be the cheapest and easiest way to go .. and it allows the buyer to do what the want with it.

Just a thought.

I'd totally be interested in buying one. I couldn't ever afford the real thing: )
Motorized function is unnecessary for me. Just having a repro to display would rock.

Do we have any sculptors on the board who'd be interested in sculpting as opposed to making a mold off the original?

I would love to have one!!

Id love one, completely not bothered on the motor, but the propeler, would be a nice touch
