DCU Classics Gentleman Ghost (Mattel)

The Gentleman Ghost first pestered Hawkman in the Golden Age and was revived in the Silver Age to battle Katar and Shayera Hol. In Geoff Johns' great Hawkman series from 2002 "Gentleman Jim" Craddock was tied into the eternal resurrection cycle of the Hawks in a brutal but fascinating way which is why this 2-pack with Hawkgirl is called "Fates Entwined." It's very interesting to see a figure based on a character with no visible head. I'm pretty impressed with the way they pulled it off. The sculpting of the Ghost's snazzy suit and Inverness cape is bang on and the shades of white fading to clear plastic works well. His hip joints are a little loose which made standing tricky and the cape makes working with my figure stands problematic but Gentleman Ghost is a welcome addition to my collection.
