Looking too closely at my Aquanaut

Bear in mind that this figure was not acquired as an Aquanaut, merely nude and the other parts came together.



Pretty good.



The Scar, lips, eyebrows and hairline I repainted. The Hair was scuffed, and whomever painted the scar in the factory totally missed it.



Those strange scratches down the side of his face. There are some on the left side too. Mold imperfections?



Childhood pet attack. Since he's my Aquanaut, probably definitely a shark attack.



One of three.



Two of three.



Three of three stress cracks, that appears to be it, aside from a hairline one on his right knee that won't show up in camera.



Also critter carnage? Or just the scuffs and scrapes of normal play?



The all important Copyright notice. Perhaps a bit anachronistic for my use of him as an Aquanaut, but he's a soft-headed PH, I'm happy.



My Aquanaut.

Good lord those pics aren't in focus, maybe I need glasses.

A great looking figure with plenty history. All those imperfections give him character.

I agree Steve! Character!

But I think he's been sneaking into the Ammo Arms and getting into fights...

My best beloved childhood Joes have plenty of character flaws! There my favs!

The Action Figure equivalent of the dueling scar...

Character!!!
