So I unboxed this yesterday and it's a pretty nice looking PF. Some of the things I really like...great pose, fantastic paint apps on the figure and base, and cool EX feature. The pose makes him look regal. The paint apps on his shirt looks rich and I love the dark glossy green on his pants (it makes them look wet, like he just came out of the water). The base is incredibly detailed and the water crashing against it looks phenomenal. The EX does just what any good EX does...changes the statue and gives it a different feel/vibe.
Now for some of the things I thought could have been improved on the PF. First off, while I think both portraits are solid and look pretty good, I think both could have been better. For an idea of what I would have liked to have seen, take a look at the DCC Jim Lee Aquaman mini-bust. That portrait is one of the best I've ever see. As an Aquaman portrait, nothing comes close to that bust IMO. I wanted a portrait like that for this PF. Also, the paint apps on both portraits seem to have an ash/grey tint to them. I personally don't care for it. I also agree with the peeps here who think his collar is too low. It should've been higher. Lastly, I do wish the trident was made of metal. While it looks good painted up, it does feel rather flimsy. I received the brown Wolvie PF just a day before Aquaman and I thought the metal claws and Muramasa Blade on that piece really added a lot to that PF.
Overall, I am happy with the PF and I'm looking forward to completing the Big 7. This Aquaman PF is a fine addition. However, I certainly see room for improvement when I look at the piece.That said, I don't want to take away from the fine work SSC did to give us this PF. I really feel this Aquaman PF makes a worthy addition to any JL lineup. Now, bring on Flash and Martian Manhunter.
