Mercenary Marc Spector is Moon Knight! Or is he millionaire Steven Grant? Or taxi driver Jake Lockley? Or does he even know anymore?

| Apparently I lost the insides of the box before I took pictures. |
The hook for Moon Knight is that he struggles maintaining his various identities and in more modern stories he's developed full-on multiple personality disorder and has become an exploration of mental health to varying degrees of sensitivity and success. There are Moon Knight series I love, there are Moon Knight series I hate, but generally I have a fondness for this character and feel he is more than just a Batman ripoff.

| This costume is from the (excellent) 2014 Moon Knight series by Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey. |
 |
| The Jet and Silver (West Coast) Avenger! |
 |
| Not quite the classic crescent shaped cape but acceptable. |
 |
| A very nice job on the hood and cowl. |
 |
| "Many moons ago..." |
 |
| Extra punchy knuckle guards. |
 |
| Moon Knight's had a few armoured designs over the years but this one is the best by far. |
 |
| Hands of holding. |
 |
| No cape. |
 |
| "That's not a crescent dart, THIS is a crescent dart!" |
 |
| "Do these make me look like Wolverine?" |
 |
| Ready to eviscerate. |
 |
| Truncheon. |
 |
| "No I'm not stealing Daredevil's schtick too!" |
 |
| Double Truncheons. |
 |
| In some comics his glider cape can pop out of a backpack-type thing... |
 |
| The Fist of Khonshu! |
 |
| Knuckle holes for the moon darts. |
 |
| Flippin' the lunar bird. |
 |
| "Have you ever thrown 3 crescent darts whilst jumping through the air?" |
 |
| Sensible soles. |
 |
| "You wanna get nuts? C'mon, let's get nuts!" |
 |
| "Did I just channel Batman again? Shoot!" |
 |
| "I don't know who I am anymore." "I can totally relate." |
 |
| Definitely the best Moon Knight figure I've seen around. |
