I really don't have much investment in the actual character himself admittedly, but the new figure of him is one of my new favorite MU's (alongside X-23 and Rogers, who also shouldn't be missed) He uses the same body (I think) as Rogers and the upcoming 2-pack daredevil which gives him that very intimidating "mean and lean guy" look and his paint apps are really something to behold in person.

For a figure that invites as many gay jokes as he does, Namor is still one of the best MU fig's out there IMO.

I bought him last night. Mainly because I haven't bought a toy in weeks and he was new, but he is pretty cool. I think the paint apps being very good on him (which I'd agree with you on that--mine looks good at least) have a lot to do with him being pretty much naked. A large majority of him has no real paint lines to screw up. Overall I'd say it's a pretty solid figure with the full MU articulation treatment, and I got one with the Rex stand, so that's like a little bonus.

I don't know much about Namor,.. I'm assuming he can fly or something since he has wings on his feet. lol
