Courtesy F.O.A.M. (Friends of AquaMan) member Chris Franklin, comes this alternately-painted version of the Ideal Aquaman figurine. While my version has orange hair, Chris' is the appropriate blonde.

Sadly, Chris' version is also missing the knife, so it looks like Aquaman is using one of those hand-grippy-exercise things. And, judging by the giant roll of paper towels in the background, he is also recreating a scene from The Incredible Shrinking Man.

Man, I knew I should have taken that picture with a different backround. It'd make a great commercial though:
"Bounty, the quicker-picker-upper! Absorbant enough to soak up the ocean!!!"

Why I'm a F.O.A.M.! Leapin' Lionfish!

Hey, I have one of those with a knife. Maybe I should take a picture of it for you.

Also, Rob, what's your eBay ID? I don't want to bid against you for anything. I'm tegan on eBay.

>> Hey, I have one of those with a knife.<<

i think you have the only one!

my ebay ID is namtab29. i'm sure if i saw someone named "tegan" bidding on something i'd back off.

maybe. :)

Well, since I'm less of a collector and more of a scholar, I'll certainly back off if I see you bidding. But don't feel like you have to back off for me.
