Aquaman
I was recently in Toys R Us and the Aquaman gift set created by Mattel was on the shelves.
Aquaman is played by Jason Momoa.
He is married to Lisa Bonet (Denise form Cosby Show) whose daughter is Zoe Kravitz and she played Angel Salvadore in X-Men: First Class.
P.S. I was hoping that Hasbro did a gift set for Black Panther.

I was excited when this figure was advertised. He was 12" and he was a black hockey player. This is rare. I ordered the figure. The figure is not articulated. The disappointing part is that his helmet is not removable.
I am glad that they are starting make black hockey players. They have another one in 6" which I will probably order and add to my collection.

Summer Dolls 2018
I have been quiet during the summer but busy picking up dolls that were released over the past few months.
Some dolls had been wait listed when I tried to order from Mattel. However, I was able to get one at the Barbie Convention( thank you So -in Style Doll Club) and the other I purchased from the internet after seeing the doll company's email to me about their doll list.
I purchased the Samuel Jackson character from the movie Pulp Fiction and a look a like Mike Tyson figure that was cheaper than the Storm collectible doll.
One company finally did a 1/6 inch Michonne figure from the Walking Dead. Now I just need her as Okoye from the movie the Black Panther.
The book in the background is about 7 decades of Mattel. Mattel gave this book to all Barbie 2018 Conventioneers.

This figure was created by Funko. These are cute little figures and I was going to collect the African American ones. Then I realized that I do not have any space for these additional figures. I decided that I would only collect special ones and not all of them.
