I've tried my best to buy as few of these McFarlane Digital Series as possible, but this cheery Aquaman was too classic to resist- the little sea-buddy accessory, whoever he is, put me over the edge. The extra smiling head portrait also really helped set the mood for this Silve-Age hero of DC Comics. Again, I have zero interest in whatever digital asset can be redeemed by downloading McFarlane's app- I clearly don't need another way for them to sell to me.
Below, Digital Series Aquaman with McFarlane Toys Justice League Aquaman and DC Multiverse Aquaman and Ocean Master. This Digital Series Aquaman is a straight-up repaint of the previous bearded Aquaman with a different head, but I like this brighter variant.
And finally, Digital Series Aquaman with a few other "classic" Aquaman figures in the Super-DuperToyBox: Mego 50th Anniv. Aquaman, Mattel DCUC Aquaman, DC Direct New 52 Justice League Aquaman, 14" Mego Aquaman, Mattel Batman Brave & the Bold Aquaman, McFarlane DC Multiverse Aquaman, and Mattel DC Retro-Action Aquaman ...
Honestly, I'm unsure I'd have picked up the bearded McFarlane Aquaman if I knew this one was on the way, though it's fun to compare. While Aquaman is a sometimes overlooked character, he'll always be included in my personal Justice League- he's an alpha-tier hero on the level of Superman, and original member. I loved the Hanna-Barbera animated Super Friends show from the '70s, and all its later incarnations, so this friendly Aquaman really scratches that itch.
More Later- Make It FUN!
