Black Manta

The Ultimate Black Manta! I don't know why this never occurred to me before especially with what I'll tell you in a little bit but: I removed the head and tanks from a regular W2 Manta and the 2pk Manta and swapped them out then painted the eyes and nodules on the helmet and tank. I always liked the silver color of the 2pk over the dull gray of W2 and I also didn't like the Easter Egg coloring of the 2pk so I combined them. Much like I did with the W2 Aquaman figures. Plus my 2pk Manta secreted some kind of substance that made the figure tacky. Anyone else run into this issue? My biggest complaint is that the 2pk Manta didn't come with a spear, just the gun - which is painted in line with the helmet so if I got an extra spear it would look different, I don't know if I should bother with it or not.

This was so easy and obvious. Has anyone else made this swap?

Looks great! I recently updated a Black Manta as well.
