-Aquaman, Aquaman
I never intended to like Aquaman. Being a Marvel fanboy for the most part, my love of DC really extended only to Superman and Batman. And Alan Scott, for some reason.
Never been sure why.
At any rate, this made Aquaman the best meme in superhero history, where there is no greater enemy for him then pollution killing off Flipper and co. I loved to laugh at Aquaman.
Then this stupid Aquaman movie made me like him. I think I'm legitimately a bit bitter as to how much I like Aquaman now. So here are my two--I originally had three planned so be glad it's only two--Aquamans: one on foot in his now-classic 90s costume, the other a more modern, mounted take on the character with the orange jumpsuit astride a giant sting ray. Cuz why not.
90s Arthur Curry required very little in terms of modification from his Hypertime heroclix self. I created his baseplate to look as though the pavement was being ripped up by some octopus thing in the sewers, tentacles courtesy of Brightest Day heroclix Aquaman, with smeared on hot glue for a water texture.
King/Modern/mounted Aquaman was not so simple. The sting ray was a toy I purchased at hobby lobby with their sweet sweet 40% coupons, and mounted onto a thick peanut baseplate with hot glue to represent water. There is a wall between this water and the ballast made of card stock to indicate a harbor of some sort.
The sting ray was already painted by me before I received Aquaman, so it is finished while he is not yet in the photo.
Aquaman himself is a Brightest Day heroclix with a trident stolen from some third Aquaman and a beard sculpted on, as well as some hair extensions.
I shall show them off as finished products next time!
