    Hmmmmm. that didn't sound so cordial.

    Sorry if I still feel essentially the same way as I did before I saw the
    catalogue pictue.... the only difference to what I said before is that
    it's not a drawing, it was a few distant prototype kind of shots from
    a catalogue pic...which means that anything that looked
    remotely "webbed" in the 70s would be easy to mistake for any other
    "webbed looking" hand in modern day.

    So it remains still kinda fishy (ahem!) to me.

    Because Tonner charges well over one hundred dollar for their dolls.
    I remember seeing the first Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Supergirl
    he made in FAO Schwartz and almost fainted from sticker shock.

    Meanie has this figure...and if I've understood correctly (please correct me
    if I'm wrong), aquired it loose...IMHO that means the hands could've come
    from anywhere...so, regardless, it's my understanding that there was
    once an advert (a drawn advert even!) with the WShark that had
    Aquaman with webbed hands in it and that the combo of Meanie's figure
    with the advert has caused this collector's broohaha over the "Megoness
    of webbed hands on an Aquaman."

    Since Rob is a fellow Long Islander, I could cast the hands and give
    them back to him the same day - BUT it is up to him to make that
    decision and I am not going to pressure him.
    I think that it is best just to let it be. It is a MEGO legend. It should not be cloned.

    Could also use the webbed hands for a cool Neptune Perkins custom of the All-Star Squadron. I'm sure they could be used for a lot of other customs as well as a custom Aquaman.

    I dont think the hooked hand would work with the goofy Charlie Brown head the new figure has.

    if the doc cast webbed hands I'd buy them-think of the cool customs like triton with webbed hands etc.

    I don't think I'd like the webbed hands. It's fine the way it is.
