One photo a day ’til I run out of figures. Day Forty-Three.

I’m deep into "Occult Week" on my streak, so today had to be Atticus Doom.
This is easily one of my top figures of all time, and it’s the specific release that made me fall in love with the Mezco brand. I know he could be a bit pricey on the secondary market these days, but in my opinion, he is one of the few figures that is actually worth the "Grail" status.
The Aesthetic: It’s basically "1930s Private Investigator meets H.P. Lovecraft." The wired trench coat allows for some incredible dynamic movement, giving him that windswept, noir detective look.
The Accessories: This is where the figure really shines. You get the standard "Atticus" head, but swapping it for the Cthulhu-style creature head changes the entire vibe of the display. The magic effects are translucent and catch the light perfectly, and the "snake fingers" hand is just creepy enough to sell the eldritch horror theme.
He just oozes style. For those who have him: Do you display him as the Detective or the Monster?
