Mera Queen of Atlantis


DC Comics Aquaman seems to get all the attention but Mera (his wife) is every bit as formidable as the King of the Seven Seas.

The Tonner Mera Queen Of Atlantis figure comes in a special, black display box with the DC Stars logo.

Inside the figure is secure in the box with silk ribbon tie downs and foam rubber.  Accessories are in separate Ziploc bags and packets of silicon chips keep the moisture out of the box preventing damage to the figure.

A sheet of tissue paper gate-folds over the figure for protection.  A special circular base and wire support are also inside.

If you’ve seen the Justice League and/or the Aquaman movies then you’ve seen Mera as she was portrayed in the films.

The Tonner Mera looks very similar with her long, wavy red hair, fair complexion, piercing blue eyes and full red lips.

Her features are delicate, as are her hands and feet.  Coloration of the figure varies slightly giving the impression of real fleshtones.

The fully articulated figure is easy to remove from its clothing and equally as easy to put the clothing on (including the shoes and hairpiece) with no bunching or unsightly wrinkles.

Mera’s costume is probably one of the most complex attires of any of the DC Stars figures.

Mera comes dressed in a form-fitted gown with low neckline, bare shoulders and long sleeves ending at her wrists.

The fabric is green and by the clever use of sequences and gossamer cloth it looks like fabric created out of deep green sea itself.

Variegated dark and light greens in strips and segments are iridescent and showcase the Mera’s figure.

The gown flares at the knees segmenting out into solid areas of green and sequence.  The gown hides her high back green high heel shoes.

Mera also comes with a tiara/crown consisting of starfish and seashells.

Once placed on her head her long red hair cascades down over her shoulders and mingled with the gown’s fabric makes them look as if the are one piece.

The amount of effort and work it took to create the gown is amazing.  Literally made up of hundreds of circular green sequences the gown shimmers in the light much like when sunshine filters through sea water.

It’s a beautiful figure complemented by its amazing wardrobe.
