Ocean Warrior Aquaman (DC Universe Classics)


Aquaman is the most famous of the underwater superheroes and probably the most ridiculed in the greater pop culture sphere. As a small lad I saw episodes of the 1960's Aquaman cartoon, which while being ridiculous in that 60's way it was not overly campy and portrayed the King of Atlantis as a competent, powerful hero.  This version of Aquaman sports an "ocean camouflage" outfit which was designed by Neal Pozner and drawn beautifully by Craig Hamilton in the 1986 miniseries. This look is a severe departure from the classic orange and green scales and fins but I think it looks fantastic. If you like Aquaman or if you are a fan of the fantasy genre I recommend checking out the series.  After the miniseries Aquaman went back to his classic togs and this design was not seen again until 1995 when it was worn briefly by the villain Thanatos and then Aqualad wore a black and red version of the suit as Tempest. This figure has the usual DCUC articulation and luckily the paint job is above par for the line since the costume design is completely dependent on crisp paint lines.
