The design features tons of added intricate details hinting at the unique technology used by the Atlantean race living underwater. Now fans are confused about whether his character will appear in the first trailer or if the makers are planning to keep him a secret. The promotion of the character still remains a mystery to the fans.
What Do Fans Think About The Action Figure?
The action figure is getting a mixed reaction from fans as they have changed the original look of Namor. One fan tweeted, “Fuck. Yes. I love the switch up to Aztec/Mexican style.” Another wrote, “What a travesty. We had the opportunity to see the real Namor, one of Marvel’s first characters, but instead, they panicked due to the success of Aquaman and shifted from the Atlantis everyone knows to some Aztec/Mayan diversity project. Skipping this one. As will many others.”

Please let this not be the case. I grew up collecting comic books and finally I get to see them come to life. So upsetting. Marvel/Disney please stop with totally changing these main characters and storylines. Gorr (looking like an offspring of Lord Sidious), now this!
