Cpt many thanks for the info on the Select MK figure, because of that I will pass after your break downs of the pros and cons (much appreciated). It is very cool that they made one and I hope a more detailed MK (perhaps one of those Japanese Toy Makers) will appear on the market. He has one of the coolest costumes in comics and I would hope someone somewhere really gives MK a nice push. That said if they made a crippled Marc Spector as seen in the current series, I'd probably jump as I wouldn't mind having an action figure version of David Finch's art . I enjoy seeing the character that will eventually rise up and become MK again. Where's that Marvel Legends MK posted Cpt? BTW, for those of you who don't know, The Artist's Choice are selling pages of David Finch's art from the current Moon Knight series. I've hopefully got two pages coming... --Previous Message-- : So, this wednesday the Marvel Select Moon : Knight figure was released. I figured I'd : drop some info about what I thought of this : toy. It is the third Moon Knight figure ever : released, and It is by far the best (thats : not saying much considering its lame : competition however). So, what people should : be aware of is that the toy is modeled after : the Huston/Finch run that is currently being : published. So with that In mind, i will : judge how well it does at representing their : particular interpretation of Moon Knight. : : Pros: *The paint job is spot on. Though like : many others I prefer a darker colored Moon : Knight, this toy accuratley conveys the : color of the current running story arc. : *The basic sculpt is relativley attractive : *The Khonshu statue Looks great : *Crescent Stone florring is really cool : *Seam on suit and cape looks cool. : : Cons: *The posability of this figure is : severly lacking. Particularly in the knee : joints. Definatley not as movable as Legends : figures. But because of the posability, not : as sleek as DC direct figures either. : *The Crescent darts are a flimsy rubber. : *The khonshu statue is hollow from behind. : *Cape/hood shape is not very good, and it is : bolted to his back : *The figure is not as bulky as he is in the : comcis. : : Overall its a decent figure. It could have : been much better, but Its an acceptable : addition to the Moon Knight Merchandice : library. I recomend picking one up. : : : P.S. there is a marvel legends MK up and : coming soon. :
