You got me sucked into your blog due to your devotion to Aquaman and the community that can be found of similar-minded fans out there.

The last piece of Aqua-merch I picked up at the Big Apple Con was this 14" high Aquaman plus doll, part of the DC Super Friends line. I had seen this on eBay a few times, and it was fairly easy to find at the con, so near the end of my day I picked it up.

These Toon Tumblers have been around for a few years, but only recently did they get the DC license, which now enables them to make Toon Tumblers featuring not only Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman, but also Green Lantern, Poison Ivy, Sgt. Rock--even the Justice Society!
