I was not prepared for how much I liked the Mezco Moon Knight figure. I’ve had a couple of Marvel Legends, but not really a “nice” Moon Knight figure. Not that one existed prior to this. This Mezco Moon Knight figure sports the classic all-white outfit here, as opposed to the more modern one (“Crescent Edition”) in the Marvel Legends review. I know they have a second Moon Knight in his more recent tights, but for me, when it comes to Moon Knight, I like that all white. It’s a nice juxtaposition to have the Multiple Personality Disordered dressed in lighter colors, as opposed to all black. Or turn big and green.
If I lived in a city with super vigilantes, I’d appreciate some variance when it comes to my assaulters.
And boy howdy, can Marc Spector assault folks. He started as a bad guy (don’t we all, fellas?) waaaay back in 1975. At one point, he had “lunar powers” granted to him by the Egyptian God, Khonshu (ok… look, this sounds like some BS right here, is all I’m saying). When the moon was at its apex, he was at his strongest. That went away in the late 80’s. He’s been a supernatural player, a technology player, a suit-wearing consultant, and law enforcement, and through it all, one thing has remained. He’s a badass.
Also, he’s crazy. So that’s two things.
Speaking of crazy, let’s tear into this crazy figure!
What is in the Mezco Moon Knight box?
Yo, we get a lot. Not being a huge Moon Knight follower, I didn’t know he had so many cool gadgets. The first thing we get in the Mezco Moon Knight box is the figure itself. Adorned in white, with detailed pieces of armor spread all over his tights.
There are eight different hands to swap out!
We get a set of fists.
I am the Moon Knight Punch hands.
We get a set of holding hands.
There is a set of neutral hands (should be illegal to not have these with a figure).
The last set of hands have, for lack of a better term, Moonarangs, in between the knuckles. I have to say, this is sooo much better than the two dozen teeny tiny Batarangs we got with our Mezco Batmen.
Tiny Crescent-Rang
We get a masked head.
We get an unmasked, battle-damaged Marc Spector head.
Looks like it was a bad night to be Marc.
There are two different hoods. One up.
The other down.
He has a sweet staff.
Staff, Moon Knight style.
There is a “Crescent blade.” Noting like a croissant blade. Which, by the way, sounds delicious.
Crescent-rang
Included is a grappling hook baton.
Crascent-Rang and grappling hook Holdy hands holding the grappling hook This is so sharp.
Bruce Lee fan? Guess what… he’s got nunchucks! Or Moonchucks. Whatever.
Nunchucks! Excuse me while I whip this out.
As always, we get the Mezco display base and flight stand.
Standard display base.
Finally, he has the cape posing system, which, as always, I will never use.
Here are a few other detailed shots.
What doesn’t work with the Mezco Moon Knight figure?
There are so very little things wrong with him, it’s hard to be negative. His ankle rockers could rock more. I am consumed by hatred for their cape posing system.
Should you purchase the Mezco Moon Knight figure?
Look, we live in a world where disposable income is disappearing for a lot of us. So you don’t have to get ANY Moon Knight. If you do want a Moon Knight, it comes down to which look you prefer. I’m a “classic” look guy when it comes to Moon Knight. The rest of the world disagrees with me, as his Crescent set is sold out everywhere.
I will say I enjoyed the figure despite me having no real emotional connection at all to the character. I think that makes it a cool figure.
You can get him here:
- Amazon
- eBay
- Xavier Cal Customs and Collectibles (as of this writing)
“Ready to talk yet, Scourge? What? I can’t hear you!” Mmmmm canned beans and whiskey. He’s seen some stuff.
