Rex Smith is aquaman?
Critical fail! The Aquafigures are too big and the Superfigure is too small. Mattel STILL can't do anything right.
CCC.

Some enticing exclusives you got there Mattel!
Well done.

This actually looks awesome especially Ocean master. Since Multiverse is kinda shit on I doubt these will be too expensive on the secondary market anyway.
im not into packaging at all but that box looks kool. someone said this was a "critical fail" thats totally wrong.
I have avoided this line almost entirely. The figures just don't look thst great to me, but that Black Manta seems to be the only six inch one we have... so I MAY go for it if I can find a decent price. Have these figures gotten ANY better though?
I understand why Mattel went with the joint celebration of 80 yrs of Superman and 50 you’re of hotwheels. I would drop the cash for this as a gift for my son in law who’s a huge fan of both, and it would go with his hotwheels collection as any bigger scale would not go well and I think the quality would be the bigger price.
The Superman one would be cool if it was a figure instead of a figurine.

Ah underwhelming as usual. Thank you for saving me money this year Mattel.

I give Mattel a hard time, but these are really neat. The elbows on the Multiverse figures don't look double jointed to me, which is disappointing, but Aquaman's face has a lot more personality and character than we've seen from DCUC or Multiverse before. I hope it's a sign of things to come.
Critical Fail Confirmed.
Oh, and from what I am seeing so far, I am not the only one not impressed by Mattel. Oh well, there is always that old adage: The customer is always right.
Oops, sorry Mattel, I forgot you don't like that one because it makes good business sense.

Love this Aquaman set. Love that they all got the new multiverse bodies they've sloooooowly been transitioning to (year one Batman was the first I think) then most of the last wave. Not only that, but Mattel is the only company that doesn't make it a nightmare to get the exclusives (pre-order on-line and pick up at show or brave the lines of you want- I wish Hasbro would pick up on that.)

Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a discussion about the success of an unrelated line, so back on topic: this multi-pack looks pretty nice. I'd still much prefer that Mattel give us double-jointed elbows, but these figures still look fairly nice with the upgrades that we have gotten.
Heeheeheehee I can’t look at classic Aquaman and NOT think of the mean robot chicken and YouTube skits towards Aquaman.
Batman: “Aquaman, your mission is to...”
Aquaman: “infiltrate the enemy base? Take on the Super Villain?”
Batman: “summon us tuna sandwiches. We’ll be hungry when we get back”
**other Justice League members snicker**
Aquaman: “...”
