Some dreams seem outrageous - cancelled DC TV-shows don't get figures! - but this one did!
John Constantine is a beloved character and his portrayal by Matt Ryan is exceptional - he is perfect.

SooSoo toys did this character justice - preorder was a no-brainer for me.
I already own another Constantine - Keanu Reeves version from 2005 film, so there will be joint photosets and other supernatural fun in stock for them.

If there's no Loki in your collection - no girl will ever come over to "take a look". In all seriousness, "Do you have a Loki figure?" is the most asked question upon learning about my hobbie.

So now, yes, I do have a Loki in my collection.
I've preordered "Dark World" version, as a) first version is being sold for too much money b) trust my rage! c) I really liked his expression and wanted to have a man, not a boy displayed.

He is sharing a shelf with Harlock, as their capes compliment each other nicelly.

Captain Harlock is one of my childhood heroes, so there was no question about buying him.

I bought version without his Arcadia throne, since I had no extra $250 to throw away and had no place to display this monstrosity. Now though, as I look upon Harlcok and Loki, I think that I need this throne, as at least one of them would love it. 

Harlock was preordered, and got to me on 26.09.2014
