    How Do You Display Your Mer-Man?

    I'm pretty excited: I picked up Mer-Man on sale at Matty Collector today.

    Always one of my favorite MotU characters, and now I get to look forward to him showing up in the mail. But now I'm curious... how do most of you choose to display him? With the vintage head or mini-comic/200X one? Maybe some other way???

    I display him with the vintage head for nostalgia. I did have the original-art head on him- being it's much cooler, but changed it when the TRU blue Merm came out.

    He's one of the best figures in the line.

    I display him with the mini-comic/cross-sell/200X head, but he also carries his trident.

    I have him with his vintage toy head but I also have two toys r us Mermen with the mini-comic heads on as Aquaticans. I'm one of the few who prefer his 80s toy head and find it more evil looking.

    I also have the Toys R Us version and not the main Classics version. But have been thinking of getting the main Classics.

    I display him with the cardback/200x style head. I gave him the gold armor, sword & trident from the weapons pack (with painted details to highlight them) and make him stand out more. I do want to get 2 more and use the vintage head on them so Mer-Man can have some guards of his own.

    I've only got the blue version, so the Mini Comic head is what I've got. If I had the green I'd use the vintage figure head for variety, but I prefer the mini comic version overall.

    I only have the blue DC version, not that it would've mattered.

    Mine has the card back head, only because it looks more Filmation than the Vintage head....but I want a true Filmation accurate head for him....he of all characters should get one, he looks the a lot different from the Vintage, and the card back head.

    I use the MYP Merman head on my ocean overlord-- it looks more appropriate. The original head always screamed "mammal with cute ears" more than "fish dude" to me. I like that original mold for Stinkor instead.

    Did I ever grow up? Probably not. I'm sure the day-glo socks gave it away anyway.

    As much as I like the vintage style head, Classics is ultimately about that original cross sell art so I've displayed him with that head since I got him a few years ago. I also love the sculpt. As a kid, I always had that head in my mind when I was looking at the vintage one.

    I also give him only his sword.
