What I mean is that Aquaman looks a bit too smiley when you see just that figure by itself. It actually sort of creeps me out. <BR/><BR/>So I recommend you keep the figures together with their mounts. And then hope no one makes "Ambiguously Gay Duo" jokes. :)<BR/><BR/>The Irredeemable Shag<BR/>http://onceuponageek.comThe Irredeemable Shaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620741461584124844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-68387321127806972302008-10-01T19:53:00.000-04:002008-10-01T19:53:00.000-04:00A very nice ad indeed, but I'm not a fan of that A...A very nice ad indeed, but I'm not a fan of that Aquaman figure.
