Are we really still surprised by the price of rooted figures?

It does look good, but for a character like this I'd never display him without his mask & hood. I don't recall - did he ever even appear in the show in full MK costume without them?? I wouldn't use the Oscar Isaac sculpt on Mr. Knight either. I think I'll stick with my OG HT Moon Knight & SooSooToys Mr. Knight and wait to pick up the inevitable Poe Dameron figure.

He appeared without the hood and mask a few times. Once in episode 2, once during the origin flashback and a couple times in the final episode. Might be more but those are just off the top of my head.

Yep, someone already pointed that out earlier. It's been 2+ years since I watched it so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details lol...

Not at all, but these Artisan offerings (& their higher prices) seem to be quickly becoming the norm rather than the select few. Which was probably Hot Toys' plan all along lol...

I wish they would have had the Artisan headsculpt with the Mr Knight instead. I don't see the need for me to get this and pay close to $500 for really just the headsculpt, as I have the rest already.

It's a great figure, minus the ankle joints (same as Deadpool so be careful). I think this is great for anyone that wants a MK and missed out on the original. The cape is great and a lot of fun to pose.

I could try and justify getting this as it's a dirty version, and I would pose this one with the headsculpt and the other masked. I really don't think I'm going to get it though, and probably just place an order for Mr Knight.

How much will this cost? $1,000? It would have to have rooted hair in the crotch for them to even begin justifying such a price.

Around the 425-450 mark, pretty standard for rooted figures right now.

It's because not everyone has the rest already. And locking the artisan behind a second suit that most people probably have no interest in wouldn't make any sense.

They know Moon Knight doesn't fly, right?

He does in the show.

I know, that's why I said for me. I mentioned it's a great pick up for anyone that didn't order it the first time around.

A lot of people didn't have any interest in this the first time it went up for preorder. Many people didn't care for the show or know who the character was, so it didn't sell well and was sort of limited. That's when everyone started wanting it.
