Even his ears and shoes are molded with incredible sculpted details. The sculpt is immaculate as the figure has buttons on his shirt, fingernails and even his pen and glasses case molded into his shirt pocket! His eyes are intense and his hair looks like actual hair, as opposed to some weird helmet. Norman McCay is a perfect sculpt with absolutely incredible coloring to his flesh tones. The artwork of Alex Ross translates amazingly into the Norman McCay figure as he looks just like the paintins in Kingdom Come and the reference photo the artist used to create the character! The two figures are 6 1/2” and 7” for Norman McCay and The Spectre, respectively. The Spectre and Norman McCay figures are incredibly detailed, especially the Norman McCay one. But, for fans of Kingdom Come, these might be two of the three truly indispensible figures as they have such a presence in the volume. To be sure, a figure of a frail old man and another of an almost immobile being that sits in judgment as an instrument of god is a pretty hard sell for toy enthusiasts. In Kingdom Come, it is Norman McCay who encounters the Spectre and narrates much of the book. Norman McCay is unique to Kingdom Come and The Spectre is usually reserved for DC Comics titles that are intended for mature readers. If the names do not mean anything to you, it might not be a surprise. So, when I had the opportunity to pick up the two-pack of the Spectre and Norman McCay from Kingdom Come for a song, I leaped on that chance. But, just because I fell for Justice does not mean that Kingdom Come suddenly became less in my mind. But, Justice usurped it for me (it is one of those books that when I open the cover just to look at the artwork, I end up falling in love with the prose and reading the whole work each time!) and I have been very slow to pick up any Kingdom Come merchandise. The Basics: The Kingdom Come The Spectre and Norman McCay action figure set might not be the most popular two-pack ever, but the figures are distinctive for fans of Kingdom Come!īefore I read Justice ( reviewed here!), I first read Kingdom Come ( reviewed here!), and for some time, I considered it potentially the greatest graphic novel of all time. The Bad: Both could use more articulation. The Good: Great sculpts, Amazing coloring detail, Great balance.
