Aquaman Says, ” This…Is an OUTRAGE!” (Updated)
 |
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.
