    The Black Manta

    I really had no intrest in getting this figure because he just looked kinda goofy, not to mention I didn't even no who he was. When I seen him at T.J. Maxx I said ahh why not. I think what was throwing it off was the fact the card is pink, it was even on the peg in the girls toy section. But when I got him home and opened him this guy is awesome!!!! I bought another one the next day. I wish he would have came with a spear like Aquaman. I will definitely be buying some old school Aquaman comics with the Black Manta in them to get aquainted with him.

    Just wondering if EMCE plans on making any accesories for the mattel figures?

    On a side note just wondering why they gave him an all black body you cant even see it.

    Seriously though he is so cool, he looks like he could kick some major butt!

            The pink carded ones, as mentioned in my Aquaman review, are showing up in a lot of the girl sections. The pink card is the exact same shade of pink used in every girls toy on the market right now. So no shocker that they're being placed there.

              I looked all over every section of the TJ Max and Marshalls I went to, especially the girl section after being prewarned here on the Museum, still no luck :(

                  Me neither Cat. I only have one close to me but it hasn't had any at all.
                  It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                        T.J. Max in NY has yielded zilch. I've visited 2 really big outlets on different days and there's no sign of them.

                          Welcome to the Manta club.... to guys over 30, like me, if you liked Aquaman back in "the day", Manta was well known.

                          In fact...to a lot of us , he was the ONLY Aqua-villain we knew

                            ^^^I heard THAT!!!!

                            It was BM and Ocean Master. Two cool villains but not much of a Rogues Gallery to say the least.
