I got Marc a Hanukkah present

[erinptah]

My 1/6 scale Orthodox Moon Knight figure is finally joined by a 1/6 Reform Moon Knight!

There’s an officially-licensed Steven figure now…but this model is not that one. Based on how perfect the design is, and how on-brand the promo images are, I am guessing its history is “Marvel commissioned different companies to make prototype Mr. Knight figures, this one didn’t get approved, so instead of letting the molds and patterns go to waste, the company rolled out a batch of figures for sale in countries where the copyright laws will let them get away with it.”

I preordered it back when the official one wasn’t an option. And then it took a year to get here anyway.

But hey, he’s here <3

Other pitfalls of ordering knockoffs: since the Marc figure only came with a masked head, but Steven came with a masked one and an Oscar-Isaac-face one, I was hoping I’d have the option of popping the Oscar Isaac head on the Marc body. No such luck, the pieces aren’t interchangeable.

On the plus side, the face sculpt is also different from the official one…and the version I got has messier hair with more loose curls over his forehead. Which is a more appropriate look for Steven in the first place.

So now they get to hang out in my workspace together, and any time I feel like it I can look up from my laptop and see them holding hands. Good times.

(Deeply unfair that they’re not selling a matching Layla [yet]. It’s fine if they don’t produce a Jake, that would be a lot to ask from his whole 2 minutes of MCU screen time, but give us a Scarlet Scarab figure.)
