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

      How about a removable hand that can be replaced with a hook hand?

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

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

                  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.

                      Storm would be kind of cool. If the Tonner doll has one, I don't see why we couldn't get a mego one.

                        Id use them for a custom "MAN FROM ATLANTIS" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                          I think that it is best just to let it be. It is a MEGO legend. It should not be cloned.

                            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."

                              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.

                                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.
