Moon Knight Figures?

So does anyone out there have either the Marvel Legends or the Marvel Select versions of this guy?
I'm wondering because I want to use him for a custom and am wondering what he looks like without his hood on in both versions.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

There are a couple. On the left is the Marvel Legends one (which there is another, variant version) and on the right is the marvel select.

Thanks brodie, I'm mostly looking to see if the Marvel select figure's hood/cape comes off.
I believe those photos belong to member newton gimmick wish he'd chime in here.

I found that picture here, http://www.chris-karath.com/blog/blog0611.html,
Not Newton's site.

I have the Marvel Select Moon Knight. (He's currently in NY right now, I'm not), but from what I remember, it could be cut off. Its not molded to his head, But is pretty snug. So if you dont want the cape, just snip it.

Oh ok then, I guess he just has pics of the same things.
That's cool thanks for the info!
Do you have the ML's one as well and if so what one do yu think is better?

I never picked up the ML one, but I think Spitfire did.

The detail of the figure is nicer on the Select figure (obviously), but the articulation isn't up to par with ML.

It really depends what youre looking for.

Select has molded/sculpted eyes & facial detail, creases in the costume, (his costume is even texttured, a bit) whereas the ML figure is exactly what youd expect from the Toy Biz ML line: Its got a good amount of articularion, but not much in the way of sculpted detail on a figure. (But nowhere near as bad as the Hasbro Marvel legends)

Both are decent figures, but again, it depends on what you want.

Sidenote: Select MK has brass knuckles, or knuckle spikes sculpted in his fisted hand. Just a FYI

That's allot of good info there thanks! I had no idea about the knuckles thing pretty crazy.

Here was my review of the Select one: http://www.infinitehollywood.com/200...re-review.html

Let me know if you still need those pics, I can get them for you. I have both.
