Hot Toys Moon Knight

[Wor-Gar]

You guys better love that TV show to spend $300 on this...

I hope all the action figure fans buy this one so there's demand enough for the character to maybe get a Mr. Knight. At least that one stands a half decent chance at getting a headsculpt, since he's shown wearing that costume without the mask.

This looks fairly typical for HT with an unproven character. Barebones release but the price is over the top. Is it because it’s a limited run? Is it because they don’t think it will sell? Is there some amazing technological advancement lol? I can understand why there is no head sculpt though.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Clearly they don't expect to sell too many of these.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the one-off for the show.

Much like what they did with Peacemaker?

No sculpt wtf.

And Book of Boba... they only made Fennec (K2SO reissue doesn't count)

Already it’s doing better than Hawkeye

Well....I would buy Mr. Knight but not this, lol

I hate most of the MCU designs and this one is no different - even though its appearance makes sense but I'm not a fan of Mummy Knight look.

Pre-ordered. Here's hoping we get a Mr Knight too.

I forgot that show even exited. Did we get anything from that show?

IDK, the $285 price is still over $800 less than some people paid for those InArt Jokers a couple of weeks ago. Heck, some of those suckers paid @$380 just to get lifelike hair put on them….for a character whose hair was so greasy it looked like it hadn’t been washed in years lol.

Glad I have Marvel/HT fatigue. Not worth it anymore.

Nope. Not even a quasi release/reissue like K2 enforcer

Agreed. I’m not buying it but i think it looks good for the most part. I swear people on here can’t go one day without complaining.

This really should have come with a Oscar sculpt though.

The thing about an Oscar Isaac headsculpt though, is I wouldn't have used it. He looks too good in the mask and hood already, and I'm not going to buy an extra body and try to source a civilian clothing set so I can have Oscar Isaac standing next to himself on the shelf. I'm probably in the minority on this board when it comes to accessories anyway--the general consensus here seems to be that people want every possible accessory thrown in, but I'm only interested in accessories I'm going to actually use. I don't constantly repose my figures--partly because Hot Toys hands and wrist pegs are a such an incredible pain to work with that it just isn't worth it and partly because I'm a museum poser--and so most extra accessories just get thrown in a bag. My Doctor Strange has the same two spells in his hands that he's had since I first posed him and he looks great and I have no desire to bother with the other spell effect accessories. So all of the "this photorealistic utterly perfect Moon Knight figure is a total waste of money without an Oscar Isaac headsculpt" stuff means nothing to me. He has a great stand and plenty of crescent throwing darts. I don't need his goldfish thrown in.

I'm waiting for the inevitable post by someone stating Queen Studios/InArt needs to make it using real fabric, etc. and the MSRP is going to be way more than what HT listed. It'll probably be $599.99 USD and up.

Unless someone already posted that within this thread and I missed it.

I do and I just did. But I'm a Moon Knight fan who bought his first issue off a spinner rack in 1980. A Hot Toys Moon Knight is something I've dreamed of since I first started collecting Hot Toys.

Not yet, and I'm pretty sore about not getting a Kate Bishop. Holding out hope, though.

That's interesting. I've been a Moon Knight fan since the beginning, and though the show does take liberties, and I love his classic costume, I can understand why it just wouldn't look great onscreen, and I think Marvel's solution with the Egyptian theme and the bandages is amazing.

As long as I get mine! Please tell me Hot Toys never cancels figures once they've gone up for pre-order. It would break my heart.
