Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom toys

[monitor_ep]

My local Walmart set up an end cap with the Spin Master Aquaman action figures and it looks great. The one thing I did notice were there were only two Ocean Masters and Mera in the Titan 12 inch lineup.

Well, we know what we'll be finding at Ollie's next summer.

Um The first Aquaman made a lot of money (1 billion), and there wasn't much merchandise out, so I am all for more merchandise this round.

Looking forward to the upcoming movie, I really enjoyed the first one.

Doesn't change the fact that DC movies are pretty much box office poison, especially sequels to movies that did well (Wonder Woman, Shazam, Aquaman). Add to that, the Amber Heard controversy, and WB's apparent doubling down on problematic stars (Heard, Ezra Miller), as well as the DCEU collapsing upon itself.

I just don't see any buzz or hype for a movie that will have no relevance, and that's why I'm absolutely certain a lot of this will shelfwarm, before being blown out at discount retailers.

And even if I'm wrong? People LOVED Shang Chi, but I still see the toys at Ollies.

Oh I expect to see those Titans 12inch figures to show up at $5 and below. I have seen SO many of them there. I am surprised that lineup is still coming out.

Haven't opened it yet but got the Mcfarlane giant sea horse the other day in the mail and first it feels very hefty and looks very nice..

Patrick Wilson would have been absolutely perfect as a classic Aparo version of Aquaman.

I wonder about the general public’s perception of Momoa as Aquaman. We as comic book fans can see him with long hair and a beard as we read Peter David’s arc for example. But they know only super friends.

I look at him and wonder why Lobo mugged Aquaman and stole his threads.

My Aquaman is blond, clean-shaven and doesn't feel the need to over "dude-bro" to be taken seriously. Hee, hee!

That's just me, though. Plenty of room for different approaches. I appreciate Momoa's enthusiasm.

(Really, just look at him. Lobo. How has this not happened yet?)

After going the Hosptial for blood work, we went shopping and I almost have the complete Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom action figures. Had to stop at 2 Targets and still no big figures. I am thinking just ordering them before the movie comes out.

Wow my Walmart already marked down the figures to $3 and the Black Manta Sub down to $17.

Never did get in the McFarlane Aquaman figures.

I picked up another Mera (3.75 inch & 12 inch) to Queen Atlanna.
