Pick up Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey's 6 issue run in 2014. ---- is great!

I personally love his white suit personal

Agree. It's a really great short run. Plus Declan is a beast. Beautiful art.

The series that just ended written by Lemire and art by Smallwood was really good. Very trippy. Also goes over MKs origins.

Sculpt looks great as always with XM, but I'm concerned about his perch angle and crouch.

* From head on the hood obscures a lot of his face.
* From the right his face is visible but body mostly obscured by cape
* From the left body visible but head is turned in other direction

I'm worried there's no "money shot" angle from which we get a good view of his head, body and cape. Might be similar to Black Panther where looking up from below works best.

Was a fan of the character during Platt's short run and considering a PO, but need to see more pictures at regular angles and a video...

Yes...I think that was always the intended display for Moon Knight. I think XM was going off all the rooftop drawings of MK looking over the city streets. Its the same in this case. And I think the cape will be light to compensate for the balance of the statue.

We will find out soon enough.

Most of David Finch's Moon Knight art (he has been MKs best artist in my opinion) has MKs face concealed in shadow by the hood.

I think this statue is meant to be placed up high or looked at head on.

I'll try to get you plenty of footage from different angles while I'm at STGCC.

I think you make a good point. It's an excellent statue, no doubt, but there's no good single angle to take in all that this piece has to offer.

I'm fine with the the current sculpt actually. Display it only at slightly above eye level or above. This type of pose is not meant to sit low in anyone's collection. If you are thinking of PO-ing this, just keep that in mind. You know your display layout better than anyone else.
