I bought the Black Manta figure from the Aquaman basic movie line and really liked how it looked. The sculpt is good, and the upper body articulation is not bad - it really only lacks an ab crunch and if you're being particular about it, bicep cuts. I swapped the lower half of the figure for that of the movie Electro Marvel Legends figure, using the LEGO detachable waist joint tutorial by Henchmen4Hire - thank you for making that! Then swapped the feet for those from a Movie Masters Armoured General Zod, dremelling out the foot attachment to plug the ankles in. I didn't like the floppy blade on the left arm, so I cut up a two-pronged sword in the fodder bin to replace it and glued that on to the gauntlet. Repainted the figure and the sword. Added an unmasked head from Black Panther, modded the head so it would fit on the neck peg. Thanks for looking!
Awesome. Loved Black Manta in the film, and you did him justice! I was always a fan of Black Manta, all the way back to Challenge of the Superfriends where I was first introduced to the character when I was a youngster!
Good work on this. I've been trying to find a decent head sculpt that looks like the actor. But, I'm assuming this is the $10 basic figure. The Multiverse version has all the articulation you said was missing and then some.
