JLU Die Cast Figurine - 2006

sgWhile I could start this off complaining, yet again, about the look of the JLU-version of Aquaman, I'll try and stay positive.

This is a handsome little figurine, one of many JLU members, of course. I wonder who they're for, exactly? Kids can't play with them, so I assume they're aimed at older collectors (like me!) who maybe want to have some sort of superhero acoutrement in their workspace or home, but aren't quite comfortable actually buying a toy, so this little statue-type thing does the trick:

Open to: Random office cubicle. A man, Jim, sits at his computer, typing. Another man, Dwight, in short-sleeve shirt and tie, walks by.

Dwight: Jim?


Jim:Yeah?


Dwight: Is that an action figure on top of your sales reports shelf?

Jim: No--it's a statue.

Dwight: Oh, cool.

End scene.
