My Artisan Moon Knight finally arrived today, and it's a great figure. I will admit, though, that it's an underwhelming unboxing- for the price you pay, they could at least throw in a diorama base.

This was also the first time I had real concern about the hair. I own four Artisan releases- five, if you count Bettlejuice, and six if you throw in my InArt Paul Atreides. And I have been fortunate to not have had any problems with any of them. But St. Louis, like most of the world, is in the middle of a heat wave, and this figure sat on my front porch for at least an hour in near 100 degree heat. When I opened the package, EVERYTHING was warm and moist. The instructions felt slightly damp. And when I tried to remove the back panel to move the eyes, I accidently ended up pulling out a few strands. Nothing major, but enough for me to put him aside for a few hours to cool down.

For releases like this, I kind of wish they did with him what they did with Jinx- have the face be removeable so you can easily access the eyes. I don't like having to remove a hair panel in the back to move the eyes, then having to maneuver the rest of the hair out of the way so you can put the panel back.

Overall, though, I'm happy with him. I also love that I can use that head container to display the masked head sculpt.
