Toyark’s DC Collectibles Justice League Throne of Atlantis galleries continue today with #13 Black Manta and #14 Ocean Master! These are the baddies from the recent animated movie with the same name, ready to fight Aquaman and Mera for control of the sea! Or rock a pose on your shelf, either way. Read on to check out over 35 high res shots of them along with our quick thoughts!
DC Collectibles Justice League Throne of Atlantis Ocean Master and Black Manta
Pros
Great likeness to the animated movie
Keeps uniform look and feel with other animated figures
Continuous numbering across movies
Cons
Lack of articulation*
Lack of weapons
Overall
Check out our earlier review for our thoughts on articulation. Moving on from that, these guys have some positives. Ocean Master’s cape is rubberized and moves, with a good dynamic sculpt. His helmet/mask is also well done. Black Manta is larger than the others, and his helmet is a bit more angular compared to the traditional bulbous look. Again, if you are into the movies and want to rep them on your shelves, either these Aquaman based ones or the entire animated line, they will do you well. If not, there are plenty of other versions of these guys from DC Collectibles out there.

That's ashame as I have Mera preordered at BBTS but I don't think I want her anymore.
The lack of artic sucks but I might have to pick up that Mera.
The need to go ahead and make some Young Justice figures.
yikes so what DCC can make figures that look like Total Heroes but not DCUC?
Yeah, I think these would work better in a cheaper format, for kids. Tone down the matte paint, use a cheaper plastic, make em 10/12 bucks. Get that cross over demo, half kids, half collectors. Can't do that now mid-line, but hey, maybe shrink em to 5 inches and do that, give the files to Mattel, let em mass release.
Thanks for posting these. I have no interest in the heroes here, but Ocean Master looks great and I really want that Black Manta.
