The Ocean King was another must have from series 7, and was the first minifigure I found during my round of package squeezing. The tail piece is so large and distinctive that it is perhaps the easiest of the lot to find by the braille method. I assumed he was meant to be Poseidon/Neptune, but based on the official name of Ocean King, I suppose he is just a mermaid leader. A cursory glance at actual mythology shows that despite being an ocean oriented deity, Poseidon and Neptune were generally depicted as having had legs rather than fins. Oh well! The trident is a cool accessory that is exactly what one would expect for an oceanic monarch. I don't know if LEGO will be making an Aquaman minifigure, but if they don't, the trident would be a good addition for an Aquaman custom. Also, I think this is perhaps the best beard that has been made for minifigures so far.
The bump code for finding the Ocean King, if you're not up for squeezing packages.

Who doesn't like squeezing packages? The consequences of doing so could be dire though!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! You might end up with two tennis players or something else you don't want.
DeleteHereabout in the SEA region, the damn packs have no holes punched in them! Everyone here is a braille specialist when it comes to these! Great find, dude! All the places I've been here have been cleared out of this guy, the Spaceman,the Black Knight and the Mayan Warrior. And yup, those are the 4 rarest figs. :/
DeleteYou're wrong, the coolest beard comes with the new Gandalf.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're right. Poseidon's beard is just the plain, boring, old Sensei Wu beard.
