So after I got the Ocean Warrior Aquaman figure I started thinking about how much I liked the aquatic superheroes. As a kid I loved to swim and so it was a natural fit. My next slew of posts is a bit of stream of consciousness. I didn't have any other Aquaman related figures on hand (they are in storage at my dad's place) so my mind turned to the other major underwater Monarch-of-Atlantis-cum-superhero Namor the Submariner. I didn't have any Namor figures around but I did have one of Namor's foes the sinister Tiger Shark.
Todd Arliss was an Olympic swimmer who suffered a spinal cord injury. Despondent and desperate he allowed Dr. Lemuel Dorcas to perform an experiemental procedure grafting the DNA of a tiger shark and that of the Sub-Mariner with his own. The resulting mutations transformed Todd Arliss into the super-villain Tiger Shark! So when I saw this relatively obscure villain in figure-form I just had to pick him up.

| I did not notice the gaps in his "ab crunch" joint before. Yowza! |

| The DC/Marvel Crossover no one asked for! |

| I love me some secondary colours. This is a lesser used combo that the purple/green super villain standard. |
...but it's a crossover everyone deserves! (couldn't help it).
