This is my Moon Knight. Perfection!

For better, for worse, or for indifference, when it comes to Marvel, I have a bad habit of gauging an entire figure line based on my two favorite ever, Marvel characters, sometimes a top 5 or so....but the top two have been consistent since they have been favorite. Nova (Prime, Richard Rider) (who mind you, just ended up in Marvel Contest of Champions mobile game, and for that I'm pretty psyched) (but also mind you, has not yet been made as a One:12 figure), and Moon Knight. (the shuffling third, fourth, fifth place generally features Thanos, Silver Surfer, Gambit (Gambit coming soon!)). Now, when I say Moon Knight, I mean the all white clad, caped, cowled, classic sense of the word Moon Knight, for he has seen many iterations, all very cool, but none greater than his classic digs. And here, today, Mezco takes a swing at Moon Knight, in his classic costume, with some very exceptional upgrades. Is the figure worth your time? Absolutely, read this review, look at the pictures at the very least. Is he worth your money? If you want to save reading, and just look at the pictures, I'm good with it, and I'll tell you here, yes. He's a must own Mezco One:12 figure, for all the reasons.



The Good



One:12 Moon Knight is Moon Knight. One of my favorite page to plastic interpretations of all time is right here

The classic all white costume look is perfectly captured

And improved upon even! The vinyl on vinyl ornamentation on the suit adds such a great layer for both look and feel

MK just feels tough, like he could punch you and you'd feel it, even at the 1/12th scale

The masked head is loaded with detail, shading, and expression, even though it's masked

The mask up face looks like a real, actual person. So incredibly lifelike, so rich in depth, from the fold up of the mask to the black eye and scowl I almost want to buy a second figure just so I can display both heads at the same time

Exceptional accessories, you have:

The crescent

4 sets of hands, grapsing, fist, claws out, open

Staff

Staff split with chains to nunchuks

Grappling hook

full hood

half off hood

Flight stand

Cape hooks and flight stand attachment

Stand

Decorated figure base

The black and white Moon Knight is an outstanding figure, but the classic all white outfit absolutely takes the cake, he's amazing!



The Bad



A removable cape is the thing I'd ask for because I'm greedy, but it's really not necessary and I just needed something to put here



The rest



I have as many versions of Moon Knight as I can get my hands on. I have a Bowen statue. I have a Diamond Select toys Statue. I have all of the 3.75" figures released. I have all of the 6-inch Marvel Legends figures released. In that pantheon of awesome, this $80 figure, rates right up there with the multi-hundreds of dollars statues of Moon Knight. Except where they exceed in museum quality visuals, Mezco adds fun...and let me be clear, the visuals are stunning here on this figure as well, apples and pears at the end of the day though. If you had to own one Moon Knight figure, this is it. He ticks all the boxes, touches all the bases, and he does so with exceptional style, flare, pose-ability, and outstanding accessories to boot. Easy to recommend, really, it demands that I encourage, it's that good a figure.
