Quentin Collins figure

I recently bought the 12 inch Dark Shadows figure of Quentin Collins, a product from Majestic Studios. It wasn't only hard to find but there wasn't easy to find pictures of it either, so therefore I'll post some here.

It's well sculpted and has a very close resemblance to actor David Selby, of course with a very Quentin-esque aura of a snarky personality.

Smug.

I'm not completely sure about the profile of the nose though, Selby's nose looks a tad smaller to me.



Since he was an werewolf a extra werewolf head and sets of arms are added with him.




I do find both the head-sculpts very good, they have lots of details and the paint is layered in different shades. Although it looks good the werewolf head isn't 100% accurate, in the series the tip of his nose is black and the eyes weren't blue as Selby's because stuntman Alex Stevens portrayed all the Dark Shadows werewolves.
Also the werewolf hands are very well done.



I really appreciate the multi layered clothing. Quentin has a whole shirt and west under his jacket and even socks in his shoes. This is not always the case with some figures I've bought.
A nit-pick I have is that the tie looks a bit sloppy made, it's very simple and not very wide as the one seen in the series. There's no pin for the tie either. This is something I can easily fix though.


The body is quite thin and has a impressive amount of joints. Not all of them are seen in this picture, the feet can be turned in many angles thanks to ball-joints. The neck is attached at two points, between the shoulders is a ball-joint, so it's possible to tilt the neck a little.


His right hand looks like it's supposed to hold something, he probably wants a glass of brandy.

Ready to attack, watch out.
