From the DC Superheroes Silverage collection released in 1998, the king of the seas, Orin or well known Aquaman, here's a comparison with the DC Retroaction Aquaman.
The figure is great, the headsculpt is dynamic and captures the silverage style. The body is the standard 9 inch Hasbro body which I love more then the Toybiz Famous covers bodies. Speaking of Famous covers, most of the suits on Famous covers figures has the same problems due to time, as for Aquaman, his Suit has the same problems, the orange coating flakes off and tends to be sticky and when posing orange powder tend comes off.
Noticed the colour of my Aquaman, I washed off all the orange coating.
Here's the original orange suit for comparison.
Though Its quite disappointing to have the suit flaking off, after washing it off, what's left is very light orange or should I say biege suit, the scales are still visible and the orange thread lines.
All in all still a great representation of Aquaman, besides the suit, everything else is cool about this figure. It was very ironic, that Aquaman really needed water after so long. Im still smiling and not at all disappointed.....
