Any interest in a repro Aquaman vs The Great White Shark set?
A Huge Thanks To My Team For Their Efforts On 'project Aquashark'!!!

While it may have been my 'brain child' to reproduce my original Mego 'Aquashark' after years of trying to figure out how to do it to my perfectionist standards I really have to tip my hat to my mold maker and my graphic designer buddies for helping to realize my dream (finally) of "PROJECT AQUASHARK'.
One of my students told me that his father used to tell him that "While I may not be a genius, I'm smart enough to know who's smarter than I am"......and that's what I finally had to realize if I wanted to get this project done within the next 10 years. I know a lot about a lot of different things and I've never been one to back down from a challenge and I'm an 'information hog' (in other words....I love learnin' new stuffs, LOL).....guess that comes from my background as an educator. But I quickly realized that this project was a bit over my head to do all by myself without outsourcing to the right experts....and meeting 'dengar' and 'quintjawsman' has made all the difference (not to mention 'geoffdude' for his generosity in scanning and photographing his original box set without which the repro box would not have turned out as well....the scans were AMAZING and clear).
These guys are AWESOME in every sense of the word and talented as all get out! It has been fun throwing around ideas with these guys and acting as sort of an art director (although there's not much to direct since we all pretty much see eye to eye on this project and how it has come to fruition). All I do is let them know what I would like to see as a final product and then set'em loose and they go work their magic and come back and say, 'how's this?' and my jaw hits the floor from the awesomeness they are able to create. It has been a wonderful collaborative effort so far and I hope to do more such projects with these guys......they are THE FINEST TEAM I've ever had the pleasure of working with. So hat's off to you 'dengar' and 'quintjawsman' (and 'geoffdude')! You guys are 'FIN-TASTIC'!!! Thanks for making a lot of us grown 'children' VERY, VERY HAPPY!
Ah heck, you guys have been so nice and supportive that I just can't hold out in showing another pic of 'Aquashark' in it's current state.....so here ya go guys and gals and thanks again for all 'the love'!
