Mattel -- I loves me some Brave & the Bold. And I think these figures are mighty swell. I understand you have to have plenty of Batmen, so I'm down with that. And I'm happy to see Plastic Man, Green Arrow, Joker, Despero, B'wana Beast (!) and the others (although I'm a little baffled why you've made like eight Gentlemen Ghost figures through all your DC lines in the last 8 months). But I do have one question: WHERE THE FUCKING FUCK IS AQUAMAN?!!!!! Not one figure for the John DiMaggio-voiced badass of the seas? (Seriously, he's a fucking badass in B&tB). Not cool. Not cool at all.
Update: Never mind. Crisis averted.

The Aquaman/Atom episode of Brave and the Bold that recently aired is easily the most entertaining superhero cartoon I have ever seen. Platelet!

Aquaman is the figure I see most frequently here, aside from Batman (and maybe Black Mantis).

Why does everyone like B & tB? I found it so unbelievably camp I had to turn it off. The 60s era Batman was a mockery of the entire concept and the spirit of it isn't worth translating in to a cartoon, in any way at all.

hunh, weird they didnt make one of the (annoying) blue beetle, i mean, hasnt he been in more episodes than most of the other guys? it also weird 'cause hes a robot-themed superhero who can transform his armor, that would give them an excuse to make a whole bunch of toys of him that kids would go out of their little, easily decieved minds for.
all im saying is that its shocking they didnt whore out

I believe what everyone is saying is that there already exists a first wave of Batman Brave and Bold figures. Of which Blue beetle and Aquaman make up a nice majority, as they were the feature characters in the first few episodes. This article focuses on the next wave, which I believe focuses on the later episodes. Boom schocka locka

I LOVE this tv show. It cracks me up. Plastic Man has to be one of the coolest heroes ever, yup, I said it! These figures look great. I might have to pick up a couple.

Its an entertaining show, taken for what it is. The only episodes I didn't like: the ones with Aquaman. That's not Aquaman, that is Booster Gold's Brain in Aquaman's Body. How can they get Blue Bettle so right and Aquaman so very wrong?

Aquaman is in the first wave of brave and bold. as for the gentleman ghost i count only three figures coming of him from Matel in DCUC, infinite heroes and brave and bold.

All that matters is B'Wana Beast finally has an action figure. For that alone, all other crimes are forgiven.

Not quite the same thing, but I must own them all none the less.
