Mmmhmmm. I'm interested but I have about a 2 year wait probably lol. That's alright, if I still want it'll be there.

Not even the same ballpark. That figure was a fail on all fronts, from body to face to accessories. And it was a SIMPLE character to design.It’s also gonna look dead without the eyes lit up, because I bet the eyes are black/dark lol, can’t wait to have Moon Knights corpse standing in the display.
I’ll stop complaining now, but I was looking forward to this and these pics are not doing it for me. Almost another Peacemaker.
I hope they go with white translucent plastic for the eyes. Seems an obvious choice given his appearance.It’s also gonna look dead without the eyes lit up, because I bet the eyes are black/dark lol, can’t wait to have Moon Knights corpse standing in the display.

I really hope you are wrong, and that the eyes are white when not lit up. I've been against wacky light up gimmicks in Hot Toys figures going back, at least, to their Ghost Rider. Almost no one is going to leave it lit up constantly.It’s also gonna look dead without the eyes lit up, because I bet the eyes are black/dark lol, can’t wait to have Moon Knights corpse standing in the display.

Maybe it’s just a bad pose and lighting but the figure looks absolutely garbage in this shot. It looks like a toy and not a small man in a suit like a lot of their recent releases.Not even the same ballpark. That figure was a fail on all fronts, from body to face to accessories.

Though I’m not sure if an optional tongue would sway opinions in this particular figure.
I would like to see more. Maybe alternate heads or accessories. Even if the eyes light up, I already can make white lens caps with ease and cover it to look more comic-accurate.
I imagine that HT probably experimented with that before settling on the vinyl/plastic version.
I can actually pinpoint a few reason why and, yeah, some of it is the pose and lighting.Maybe it’s just a bad pose and lighting but the figure looks absolutely garbage in this shot. It looks like a toy and not a small man in a suit like a lot of their recent releases.

We know Marvel is doing a Werewolf by Midnight project. He and Moon Knight have plenty of comic history, and I certainly need more 1/6 werewolf options.Haven't seen the show yet.
Still not a fan of this suit design. Glad I'm working on my own custom version. Will await to see if MK gets a suit redesign in the future in whatever movie/show.
I think you’re absolutely right on all of the reasons that particular photo makes it look like a cheap toy, most notably for me the way the light pops against the plastic hood which cloth would not do.I can actually pinpoint a few reason why and, yeah, some of it is the pose and lighting.
The strong highlights pop harder on plastic and vinyl than on cloth, so elements like the hood and chest seem more reflective than a real cloth outfit. Also, due to the scale, the sculpted cloth textures are a tad over-exaggerated to stand out more than actual fabric could display at that size.
Both of these issues should be mitigated and minor at best in natural light and at normal viewing distance.
The other “tell” that triggers the uncanny effect is the elbow bend, because real cloth doesn’t bunch up like that, and the joint looks toy-like even though it’s an illusion and not actually a hinge. Same with the shoulder joints.
To me, these are very minor issues. I deal with them with my current figures, even ones I adore.
At first I thought maybe the inside of the hood was off, but, nope, it’s like that in the main design. Same with the more “padded” details. They’re accurate and on-point.
It’s not perfect, but I’ll absolutely take it and already have display options in mind.
They’ve done it before. They did it with the WandaVision figures.Looks alright from the photos, think Marvel might of released this too early as HT hasn't made a peep about it yet.
