Let's be real.. McFarlane purposefully didn't include him the Trident to force us to buy King Kordax figure

[@DCMultiCollector]

That’s a cynical interpretation but I fear you may be right.

[@AnointedFlow]

You are 100% correct. It's just like with Blue Beetle and his wings.

[@PinturaYdibujoENVIVO]

😂

[@pepezamora370]

@AnointedFlow yes that's a great point, I love the blue beetle movie its a really good newly Sculpted figure but the fact they made 2 versions just because they want to include different accessories in each of them is ridiculous. They really should've made him a deluxe figure like neca does sometimes even though they are way different from them. Hopefully they will do what they did with Jim Gordon batman in terms of accessories moving forward but I doubt it.

[@pepezamora370]

They really also did screw up Matt reeves batman from the batman. I really don't understand why they couldn't just place batmans extra bike hand and his unmasked head and grapple gun and baterang with the original masked batman all in one box. It probably would've still sold out sure but it's ridiculous I have to get the bike and masked and unmasked batman to make just 1 a deluxe

[@Collect2Disconnect]

Way better design than the first movie. Awesome first look 🔥

[@DCMultiCollector]

I liked the first movie design, but this is classic and I adore it

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

The winner 🏆 of the wave. Definitely a grab.😅 a stand included with this one is another triumph for McFartlane 😛 another great step towards the excellence I expect.

[@andrewzapata9819]

The one thing that bothers that they never fix is giving their figure’s accessories that they mainly use the most in the movies or shows or even comics. Just put it as part of the figure what is so hard. You’re not gonna hurt anyone

[@DCMultiCollector]

That trident is like 30c of plastic 🥲

[@dedee7288]

Mafex or S.H.Figuarts.. we need that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom versions of ..Black Manta w Trident and King Orm stealth suit w trident !!

[@DAMONX789]

Nice figures thanks for the Review 👍❤.

[@DCMultiCollector]

Thanks for watching!

[@PinturaYdibujoENVIVO]

. It is equipped with a jet pack propulsion system that functions in or out of water, a telepathic scrambler, and an arsenal of weapons including twin swords, a hand trident, a retractable blade in the left gauntlet, a wrist-mounted speargun on the right arm, a harpoon, deployable miniaturized torpedoes, and a diving helmet that can discharge powerful optic blasts from the eye lenses. Black Manta often uses unique vehicles, such as a modified manta ray-shaped submarine, for traveling underwater.

[@jayger1018]

I guess the point of not giving him a trident is to force you to buy King Kordax if you want the trident....if not King Kordax wouldn't be selling that well compared to Black Manta ( that's just my guess ) but yeah they should've at least giving him knifes or any kind of weapon

[@DCMultiCollector]

If that is the deliberate strategy, then I am *not* happy about it, man! 😂

[@pepezamora370]

Yeah it definitely seems like almost kinda of a scummy move on mcfarlanes part. I'll still get 2 king dorax for that reason but I just don't know if he'll be available for a while or will peg warm or sell out quick. It's ridiculous they couldn't just include a trident with 7 inch black manta.

[@MTB214]

It looks cool. I like the page punchers one too. The statues stand should come with the megafigures.

[@SpicyPsyDuck]

These have a street date of October in here (China), so I am surprised you guys got it first lol! Anyway nice review, I should be getting the wave next month.

[@DCMultiCollector]

Enjoy!

[@orobas]

The info seems concrete and the Trident that comes with Kordax is intended for Black Manta. Perhaps there's some kind of origin story where in the movie, Manta steals it from the king and it's some ancient relic of power. If so that seems like a logical reason for it to be packed with a different character. Unless it's just a money-grubbing scheme. I guess we'll find out when the movie comes out

[@DCMultiCollector]

Even if that’s true, both figures should come with the trident. Alternatively, Black Manta should come with some sort of weapon to pose with. I don’t think there’s any valid reason for this omission.

[@AnointedFlow]

Money grubbing scheme it is

[@chinovo]

This Manta looks good, sucks how Mcfarlane cheaped out on the trident 😅

[@DCMultiCollector]

It bothered me so much, NGL

[@timmydelaresma5897]

it's called marketing strategy sir 😁✌️

[@ljpanther23]

Definitely getting this figure, should have come with an alternate David Hyde head sculpt and a weapon. Nice review DC.

[@DCMultiCollector]

Thank you. I agree that an alt headsculpt would have been a great addition.

[@gmpnj29]

The flight stand is ok, but I hate that it wobbles when you put the figure on, it should of been thicker

[@DCMultiCollector]

McFarlane flight stands aren’t the greatest

[@Natedog817]

I don’t like the smaller manta figure the head doesn’t look good but the bigger manta statues body and head look just perfect 👍🏼 I’m getting that one right now thanks to this bud.

[@Michaelengelmann]

They need to make an Aquaman 1 Manta

[@DCMultiCollector]

It’s a very cool design I agree

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

The image on the card has a trident, but the figure doesnt have it. Ridiculous. Its definitely so we purchase king kordax if we want the trident. I agree i would have preferred a weapon over the flight stand.

[@user-pp7vv5eh3n]

Akwa Man!

[@philrm99]

🤔 I suppose you could use one of the weapons in a McFarlane accessory pack for Manta and visualize him launching a land attack with a machine gun on some foreign naval base.

[@jpz6768]

Todd knew king Kordax will collect dust in store shelves that's why Manta's trident was not included 😂😂😂 I passed on buying BM of aqm 2 just bought the page punchers very. I had a weird vibe that huge eyes and head gives me an alien vibe 😅

[@Pidol.Chichi]

Got mine today for $13 and bought a trident keychain for $2 😂

[@fredthetank8386]

I’m trying to decide if I should get page punchers or the movie manta to go with my movie Aquaman display. I really like the blades on the page punchers but I like the movie Aquaman for the outfit so I can’t decide.

[@DCMultiCollector]

Both work. I like Page Punchers better overall.

[@bouchamr]

I like the page puncher Black Manta more

[@DCMultiCollector]

I think I do as well

[@garthmckenzie3962]

Page Punchers blows this out of the water (😏), for sure! WeaponS, comic, and the detailed sculpt are fantastic. While comic accurate, this is so bland.

[@omniriven9806]

Lol, the Megafig is a statue? Not into that for characters like this.

[@DCMultiCollector]

@@omniriven9806 Yeah, he’s a statue not a mega fig. Wouldn’t make sense for Manta to be that big!

[@omniriven9806]

@@DCMultiCollector Absolutely that's why I frowned when I saw it in my fav online import shop. Why a megafig? But it's a statue.

[@jeremykulow1970]

Black Manta's main weapons are his helmet and gauntlets. He doesn't need weapons.

[@DCMultiCollector]

That’s a cop out, in my view. He often uses weapons across all media. The art card shows him with the black trident. The trailer shows him with the black trident. If his weapon is his helmet, include some optical blast effects.

[@seanrussellartworx]

BIG PA PA PASS🤮🤮🤮🤮. Good video 🤩

[@DCMultiCollector]

They made you vomit?

[@seanrussellartworx]

@@DCMultiCollector I have to say, I think the head is way too big… It is massive like the old cartoon. But I will go back and buy the previous figure from page punchers…. your videos are awesome… I actually decided to buy the super girl🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@seanrussellartworx]

@@DCMultiCollector I do have a small question… Is that cyborg? Superman with a long arm actually coming out? If so, I am buying it.😎

[@DCMultiCollector]

@@seanrussellartworx thank you man! I love the stupid big head but I do think Page Punchers Manta is the better figure overall, so you’re making a smart decision!

[@DCMultiCollector]

@@seanrussellartworx Where? In my display? I have a Flashpoint Cyborg with a missing head (waiting on BAF piece) with a cannon arm if that is who you mean?

[@Lwalker187]

McFarlane seems like he's getting cheaper and lazier at times. The articulation on the 7in is borderline atrocious. Packaging this figure without ANY kind of weapons makes the figure damn near useless. WE should not have to purchase a figure in the line we're not interested in just to get its trident from it. Even if you don't give BM a trident at least some sort of weapon would have been suffice.

[@DCMultiCollector]

I think the articulation is pretty good, but the lack of weapon brings down what is otherwise an excellent release.

[@AndrewDesilva-co8yp]

mantar

[@masterben9592]

Big Head

[@DCMultiCollector]

you know what they say about those with big heads
