New Amazing Aquaman Figure
At $430, this will not make it into my collection, but I'd love to have it. Sideshow Collectibles is adding a deluxe Aquaman figure to its Justice League collection, complete with interchangeable head and hand, so you can have the classic look or the Peter David look.
The Classic Aquaman is quite intense.
You can convert the statue to the Grim 'n' Gritty Aquaman, as well.
Pre-orders on the figure begin today, so head on over and take a look.

Happy Aquasitions!
I've been telling you to keep an eye on HappyMeal.com for the Batman: Brave and the Bold toys. Well, I finally got 'em for myself. Hubby and I went down to our local McDonald's and asked if I could just get the Manta Ship and Aquaman toy. The manager nicely found one of each for me, and we were done. Couldn't have been any easier.
As I really can't eat any McDonald's foodstuff anymore, I just got the toys. Hence the receipt saying "2 HAPPY TOY NO FOOD". I would have liked to get a second set of the two toys to keep in package, but we can't really swing it right now. So after photographing the two for this post, I unwrapped them and played around a little. Then posed them for another photo.
As you can see, the toys are number 3 (Aquaman) and number 6 (Black Manta Sub Launcher). The Mantaship is not to scale with Aquaman, but is still really cool. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is recalled due to the danger of the launching spear. It flies a nice distance! The Aquaman figure has a switch in back: you hold the switch down, put the water ball on his hands, then let go and he throws it. Not nearly as satisfying as the sub launcher, but if you say, "OUTRAGEOUS!" as you have him throw, it helps a little.
I kind of wish I got a full Happy Meal so I could get the box as well... but that's for another attempt I guess.

Aquasitions! part I
It's been a big month for me getting Aquaman stuff, both by purchasing it and other means. So I thought I'd do a multi-part post that shows off some of the stuff I've gotten recently that's Aquaman related. This is Aquasitions!
First up is the Entourage Aquaman Poster. I told you about the fan who made this poster based on the Variety ad in the show itself. He limited the run of posters to 25 copies, and only made it so that he could have one for himself. In gratitude for me mentioning the poster, he sent one to me. I got lucky 13 of 25.
I have to admit, it's a really nice little poster, the exact thing I wish HBO had made for the series. I don't think they realized that merchandising the fake Aquaman movie would have worked so well. The demand was, and is, there for posters and T-shirts. Back to the poster, it really needs to be properly framed.
Next up is the Commissioned Artwork that Tom Beland produced of Aquaman and Mera.
All the way from Puerto Rico, this artwork is great to have in my collection. Like the poster, it needs to be properly framed. I have a great desire to get my artwork up on my walls again, and just haven't done it.
The third object of interest for this post is my Starro Aquaman Heroclix.
I'm sorry about the fuzzy image. My phone doesn't take good close-up pictures, I'm afraid. This one came about because I noticed it on eBay going for cheaper than I'd seen it at any convention. I wanted it, and I indulged just a little and got it. I'm still missing a few Aquaman-related HeroClix, including the Crisis Aqualad, Garth, and Tempest, the Arkham Asylum Black Manta, and the two pogs. But I'll get 'em eventually. I hope.
Moving on, let's hit one more from the bit picture before I go. This is the San Diego Comic Con convention bag.
I asked if someone going to San Diego happened to run across one of these, if they might get it for me. The wonderful David Oakes found one while wandering (apparently a little girl didn't want to lug it around any more) and sent it to me after the con, with jokes about how the little girl might still be in it because it weighed so much!
Inside were the program guide for the convention and the souvenir book. The bag itself is HUGE, as you might be able to tell from this picture:
It's apparently designed to hang on your chest so you can just drop all the stuff you are buying and picking up into it. There's even a side pocket that appears to be designed to hold posters.
So that's it for this edition of Aquasitions. Watch this space. In a day or so, I'll reveal something else.

Happy Meal Aquaman Coming...
Batman: Brave and the Bold Toys coming to a McDonald's near you. The set includes an Aquaman figure and a model Manta-ship.
Reports are that they should start showing up at local McDonalds in one to two weeks. We'll be keeping an eye on HappyMeal.com to see when they switch over.

Happy Meal Aquaman?
As has been pointed out over at the Aquaman Shrine, it looks like McDonald's Happy Meals will soon have a Batman: Brave and the Bold series of toys. You can probably go in and ask for the toys without purchasing any of their food product. In any case, there will most likely be an OUTRAGEOUS Aquaman figure in the set. I hope to get a couple myself.

The Comic Treadmill's Finny Friend Countdown comes to the obvious conclusion (well, obvious for any long-time Aquaman fan).
Oh, I definitely want this Ramona Fradon retrospective.

These Blammoids look... bizarre. I'd really like to see what they'd do to Black Manta.
