Got mine, 2 days ago. 1 day ship. And yeah lots of ppl p.o.ed about this. But, if they can’t wait another week for the second batch, they have no patience.

Thank God I didn’t try to order multiples after the fiasco today, I had to do three orders before one actually took, I almost ended up with minions against my will. I hope the second batch is larger than this one, I pity anyone who has to do this again.

I do wish the line was a bit cheaper, as Mer-Man is supposed to be an undersea warlord I would probably have picked up a few extras to use as his minions, as it is I’ll just get one. Still, he looks awesome!!

“is merman really supposed to swim around in a pair of furry loin cloth trunks?”

Yes…yes he is.

This is no doubt the height of fashion on Eternia.

dude, where exactly is aquaman’s hand?

and i have to say this: wasn’t a fan of the original MOTU, watched a few eps here and there as a kid but just slightly before my time – is merman really supposed to swim around in a pair of furry loin cloth trunks?

LOL

this is such a nice line i’m actually tempted to get it, and as i said, not a MOTU fan. i was tempted by the earlier sculpts by the 4 horsemen as well.

It’s not actually that bad. During the time from when JM took the photos until I got Mer-man, the trident had mostly straightened out on it’s own. A bit of boiling water or the heat gun will fix the rest.

And the trident is rather nicely constructed. The head of the trident is made of the softer pvc (like the loincloth) while the shaft is the harder PVC (like the “corn sword”.) So even if the tip is a bit warped, the thing ain’t gonna droop, heheeheheheh.

That trident is bent all to hell. I hate it that the DCUC “QC” is seeping into MOTUC.

The trident does seem to be the accessory for every undersea figure these days.
