Greetings all--
Martin and Company so often produce items of such high-quality, that it's easy to take them for granted.
But every now and then, they hit it so far out of the park, that other releases don't even compare. This is one of those times
As you may know, DD partnered with L&L collectibles to release a Zacherley figure. Because it was released exclusively through someone other than DD, it seems as though its release was met with less fanfare. Which is a crying shame, because, this is easily one of the 10 best figure they have ever done.
This figure is up there with the all-time masterpieces of DD, such as the 12 inch Mr. Barlow, Prince of Darkness, The Reptile, 8" Dr Phibes, 12" House of Wax, and Fright Night.
The litmus test I always ask myself when judging a figure like this is "is there anything I would change, or that I would do better, if I did the figure myself? " It is just my persnickety nature as a customizer.
But I can't find a single fault with this figure. It is perfect. It contains everything that is needed and nothing that isn't.

Just look at it!
This is the third best action figure release of the year, and the best one released in 8 inch scale.
What are the other two you ask?
(Number 1. is the Alex figure from Clockwork Orange by Medicom real action heroes. It's hard to imagine a finer action figure being made of that character. Number 2. Is the figure of the pulp hero The Spider made by Executive Replicas.)
Anyway, congratulations Martin and Company for surprising even this jaded customizer yet again!
Matt
This really is an amazing figure. Great sculpt, paint and proportions. However, for best megos of the year. I would have to go with Twisty the clown from AHS and Closet Monster from The Brain That Wouldn't Die. The fact that you get Jan in the pan as an accessory is just off the charts cool. Oh wait, what about the Psycho 2 pack. Those figures are incredible. Also, the Dr Loomis from the Halloween 2 pack. So much figure awesomeness. ;D

Great likeness.
I agree, Matt. I got my Cool Ghoul in the mail last week and it blew me away! Absolutely one of the best Megostyles to come out this year. Would so love to see a horror host line of this quality.
