(this guy REALLY knows how to take Aqua-fandom to all new levels: The Aquaman Shrine)
Since those times though, DC has taken liberal chances with the character-canceling and relaunching his flagship title numerous times and finally killing off the character in another menial attempt to boost sales and interest in a 2nd-tier character (yeah, I may like the character, but at least I'm realistic.)
The new animated series has been a great adaption for Aquaman fans and even a good introduction of the character for the next generation of fans.
They have kept his costume as true as it gets to the "classic"Aquaman look and added the beard (from a period in the comics where Aquaman was written as a "grittier" character.)
This was a pretty exciting figure for me to see come out.
Loved the classic look.
