@megoapesnut, maybe you can post that picture. I suspect it could be one of the Wizard of Oz boxes (there was a glut of after-market piece-together Aquamans in Oz boxes a few years back). I hope I'm wrong, as I would love to see an example of something I have never been able to verify, but truly believe exists.
Look forward to seeing a pic.

Here is the photo from my Aquaman shelf. I can take some better pics. You are probably correct that the box was for another figure. I bought it along with the boxed Aquaman on the right. The Aquaman figure seems to be sealed in the baggie, but you never know. I seem to remember the seller not being sure if it was the correct box for the figure

Yeah, I missed that too when I first read the book. I thought the photo represented that Aquaman was sold in a mailer box via a catalog.Comment

I think rarity depends on the type of mailer box as well. For example, the mailer boxed Falcons offered by Heroes World are fairly common, but I had a JC Penney mailer boxed Falcon (different number on the box) and I was told that mine was the only one known to exist. Not that it equated to the box being particularly valuable, probably because there is a rather limited amount of collectors who covet the numerous box variations. I'm guessing that it's primarily the minty, bagged figures that come with many of them that make them desirable to most collectors.Comment

Yes, the Mailer Box you have was not intended for Aquaman. It is a Montgomery Ward Mailer Box, issued probably between 1974-1977. My best guess is that it belonged to one of the Happy Days (maybe Fonzie) or Wizard of Oz figures, though it's possible it was for another WGSH character. I have to wait until I get my house unpacked and dig up my Ward catalogs before I can confirm for you.
