Articulation wise, if you've ever owned a DCUC figure, then you know what you're getting. Single jointed limbs, no ankle pivot or wrist hinges, the gaping T-crotch, and in the case of the Mamoa Aquaman, no ab crunch (but he does have a waist swivel.) You might have difficulty striking a dynamic pose with him, but he looks good in a static standing one.

For me, it wasn't so much about the articulation as it was for me liking the overall design of the character, and how it was translated onto the toy. I'll be the first to admit, I am not a DC fan at all, but I really loved the look that Snyder came up with for Aquaman. Having grown up in Hawaii, the look they went with Aquaman literally looks like many of the Hawaiian demi-gods in Hawaiian mythology, and I think it is a perfect way of explaining why they look that way if you were to insert those myths into the DC cinematic universe. The likeness on the figure could be better, but the paint color choices are really awesome, and there is a lot of sculpt work detail as well. The tattoos are also really crisp and clean, and there is even signs of drybrushing on the figure. He's easily the cream of the crop with the BvS line.
