Constantine is making a run on HBOmax, and though not particularly faithful to the visual canon, it is quite an enjoyable movie. This weekend's viewing had me dusting off the Eaglemoss DCCSHC of the titular subject (#35/115), as well as casting my eyes further afield to the core of the Justice League Dark. I already have Eaglemoss's Zatanna (#57--this is one of my all-time EM faves); and in the next week, I should be receiving Deadman (#74). . .
This is a minimalist, white-metal (nb: the %age of Pb is noticeably lower in this issue) casting: 2 pieces + actual groundwork (nb: in over 300 figures, this is one of 3 with actual groundwork--and the only non-aquatic one!).
I must have received one of the earlier releases as assembly and finishing were definitely a notch above the norm. The higher tolerances will make for additional reconstructive work, but it should provide for a finer final product.
