    I LOVE Aquaman!

    Sure he looks a bit on the young side, but he just screams Mego to me! Knowing he's been resculpted from the original Mego Aquaman doesn't hurt either. Personally, I like him better than the original. The new Hair sculpt & Costume make a big difference to me. Notice Mattel also shortened the length of the "Cuffs".

    Once you put him on a Cast-A-Way Body...he looks like he belongs with my original Megos. Yup, this is one that Mattel got right!

    Very cool set up behind Aquaman there. He does look to be one of the best one's to date in those photos.

      Really nice photos. Yeah, I really like the Aquaman head sculpt too, very cartoonish, very Filmation like. And I like the costume as well. He looks great w/ that undersea background.

        I think it is one the dumbest superhero figure I seen . I had in my hands and couldn't think of one reason to buy this figure. I don't know which was worse the Batman or the Aquaman. Sorry none of these retro Mattel figures compares to any of the vintage megos none.

          It looks so so much better on the other body.... probably one of the figures that benefits most from a body swap.... altho' all of them could.

            That Aquaman looks perfect! In my opinion he's up there with Green Arrow as one of the best of the Mattels.

              I think he looks too young, more like Aqua Lad. But at least that's better than making him look too rough and modern.

              One thing I must say is, if they're going to go after a naive old school look, I think they should avoid doing sculpts like they did with Darkseid; he looks very rough and contemporary.

                  I'm a huge Batman guy but I really like Aquaman the best so far of all mattel figures. The Z-body and the castaway body look great with these, I used a UFC Chuck Lidell body on my Batman he looks awesome!

                    I don't think so. He sure looks great! Someday I'll get one.

                      I still haven't opened Aquaman but I did change my Batman from the UFC body to an EMCE body with the mattel blue hands. I also used a Mego Scotty head and he looks great with the new Batman mask. The mattel head is now a Trek custom.
