Action Figure #462: Aquaman Black Manta

  This was a mistake.

 Look, the seller had this Black Manta listed as the DC Multiverse Black Manta, and the figure looks, at a glance, like that very same figure. It's even manufactured by Mattel... so... I got this basic 6 inch action figure thinking I was getting another figure. And to add salt to the wound, I only got this figure because I thought the seller of the previous Black Manta figure I purchased had reimbursed me... when what he had reimbursed was the shipping cost since he shipped it with another figure! Ah well, what can you do?

 I'll tell you this much... for a basic action figure, he doesn't look half bad. The figure feels solid, and the sculpt is very detailed. He is a bit lacking in paint, but, I mean, he IS called Black Manta after all.

 But articulation is where he falls apart. His legs only move backward and forwards, he has a waist swivel and his arms are actually on hinges, so they have forward/backward as well as sideways movement. Knees and elbows are single jointed, but you can move the forearms to the sides. I mean, considering this is a very basic figure... this isn't half bad. He is slightly shorter than Bucky Cap.

 I kinda dislike the figure because he is so basic, but... I mean, he isn't too bad. I'll stick to my other Manta figure, however.
