Lego Aquaman

sg
This is a Lego Aquaman figure, something I never knew existed (sorry for the fuzzy photo, it was really hard to get a good shot of this little guy!).

Measuring less than 2" high, this figure is a combo of Arthur's two looks: he's got short, close-cropped hair, yet he's still sporting the bare-chested, hook-for-a-hand thing. As you can see, he comes with a super-cool trident, ready to spear, presumably, Lego Black Manta.

This was generously given to me by Darlin' Tracy's nephew Alex Dagney, who is a big Lego enthusiast and tolerates my constant Aqua-talk. He apparently saw it for sale online and bought it for me, which I very much appreciate.

This makes him our newest member of F.O.A.M.--thanks so much Alex!

Wow, cool. Where did it come from? Was it part of the whole BATMAN Lego world? I have seen those around forever, but didn't know there were any non-Bat related characters available.

And I have to ask, Rob...what is that plate-like thing he is standing on? That's what caught my attention first!! Is it some sort of coaster? Tell us more!!!!

I haven't had a chance to ask Alex where he got this from, I didn't know there were any Lego DC heroes other than Batman either!

And he's standing on an Aquaman coaster, posted on the very first day of the Shrine!

Don't recall there being DCU Legoes, but I may be wrong. Possibly a custom item?

Hmmm...

Very cool, too, by the way. But I bet an all-classic looking Aqua-Lego would look even sweeter!

Joe--If its a custom, its the best one I've ever seen.

And yeah, a Classic Aquaman Lego would be the bee's knees!

Rob, that Lego is cool (and I think customizers have moved up to computer-printed graphics for Legos these days)but I want to know... where'd you get that coaster?

Russell said...

Rob,
I guess I haven't read the entire Shrine from the very beginning. I will add that to My List of Things To Do. :-)

Ghost--Its from a Super Friends coaster set they sold at the late, lamented WB Studio stores.

Aaron said...

That store rocked! for the two seconds it was open.
