I'm not trying to make this a theme week or anything (especially since we have a really cool one coming up soon) , but this seemed like the perfect time to post this.This blurb is from the newest issue of Toyfare, in their "Hot Plate" column which highlights that month's especially cool and/or hot toys.
Usually Aquaman is a punching bag for the Toyfare/Wizard editorial staff, but his increased presence in the toy aisles have started earning him a little more respect, I think--"Aquaman the A-Lister...I like the sound of that."
Me too.

...eh-hem, if i may..."alongside classic villains like Black Manta". Perhaps the 'villain' aspect is a bit out of line, and 'classic' makes me sound like a Model-T, but 'alongside' sounds a lot better than 'pulling up second' or 'bringing up the rear'. a win-win for both of us fish face...nice find!
Aquaman has ALWAYS been an A-Lister, but people were always too busy mocking him to care.
Poor Aquaman, savior of 3/4 of the world...and a joke to the 1/4 anyone ever pays attention to.
I'd consider Aquaman an A-lister, if you count Superman, Batman, Robin and Wonder Woman ABOVE A-list. And I think they are. For the A-list I'd say Aquaman, Captain Marvel, Flash and Green Lantern (Hal), and maybe Green Arrow. For the B squad, in the B+ catergory I'd list Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, Hawkgirl (thanks to JLU), GL John Stewart (JLU again) Black Canary and the Atom.
Man, I WANT those FIGURES!!!

This DCUC figure is finally bringing our wet hero some much deserved respect. Kudos to the four horsemen and Mattel for making him a reality!
