DC Universe DC Signature Collection John Constantine Figure

given how he is soon to have maybe his own shown on nbc and since no dcu toy collection in my opinion is complete with out their resident con artist mystic finaly got around to buying john constatines figure and have to say the four horsemen of mattel did the guy justice. even a scar around his right eye from pulling something plus the trenchcoat is a cool touch and he is articulated in his legs and arms and his head can even turn 180 . plus if one works at it should they choose though would not recomend it since his trench coat on is perfect for him. one could with work remove the trench coat. but one would find it hard to get it back on. the only bad thing is he comes since he was part of dcs sub in a plain white box though his package is really cool even with some nice art work and his bio. another dc character the four horsemen did justice too

This is a great representation of the character, with a great head sculpt, body sculpt and, a paint job. He has the perfect punk look and looks like he has slept in his cloths for days. The coat could of used a bit more of a shading effect.

wish his pants were black, but other then that hes great

Best John Constantine figure out there.

Great figure!

Now that Mattel has chosen to offer monthly online exclusive DC Universe figures separate from those sold at retail Mattel is a bit more free to choose some characters that are more fan demanded rather than mainstream. John Constantine, while having made a return to the mainstream DC Universe in Blackest Night and the New 52 title Justice League Dark, has been associated with DC's Vertigo imprint for years. It is very nice to see Mattel offer a figure of Constantine, especially one so well done. Here is a brief look at Constantine:The Facts: Articulation- hinged ankles, hinged knees, swivel thighs, H-hinge hips, waist swivel, ab hinge, peg/post shoulders, bicep swivel, elbow hinge, wrist swivel, ball joined neck. Accessories- His jacket is technically removable, but his sleeves are sculpted so what's the point?The positives-*Constantine features quite a bit of solid articulation. It all works well, feels solid, and gives you plenty of options for various poses.*Excellent paintwork- While John's outfit is simple (white dress shirt, jeans, trenchcoat) it also has nice paintwork. Actually, perhaps I should clarify it has a nice paint wash. The clothes have a dark wash that makes them look really good, not just simple and flat. Constantine is a bit of a grungy guy and his clothes look appropriately worn. Not ripped or torn, just worn.*The tie looks fantastic. Constantine is not wearing his tie properly. Its hanging a bit loose and looks great. (Ties are much more comfortable this way.)The negatives:*I really wish Constantine had come with some accessory. Anything really. He's always using cool, magical artifacts so surely something could have been given to him. His hands certainly look sculpted to hold something.Overall: If you're not familiar with the character, odds are that you're not going to find this figure too exciting. That's ok. For fans of the character this is a fairly decent representation of Constantine in the mainstream DCU. Considering that Constantine hasn't had any action figure for quite a few years (DC Direct did one back in the late 90's, I believe) its quite nice to see him in plastic form.

Great addition to my collection.

One of DC's best.
