Well, John wasn’t exactly The Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to kill the f*****g Boogeyman. John Wick has been a pleasant surprise in the sea of superhero movies over the last couple years, just pure action with a slow build of an extended universe that leaves you wanting more. They’ve done 3, with a fourth and potential TV show in the works. Merch is finally starting to hit shelves for the franchise, like today’s Diamond Select Toys John Wick Select. This is the first figure release by DST, they also have statues and various other formats available.
We have an early look at him courtesy of Diamond Select Toys. Read on for some thoughts and 30+ HD images!
Overall Thoughts:
Well done, DST. Well done. This is one of the few figures from any company where the final version actually looked better than the promotional pics. The face sculpt and paint application on the head is significantly better than the ones on the box, which we’ve seen in previews since it was announced. It’s very close to capturing Keanu Reeves perfectly. The body is a standard suited situation, but has full articulation throughout. Double jointed knees and elbows, the elbows being great for gun poses. T-Crotch, rocker ankles, cuts in the upper shoulder and upper thighs. Torso cut and swivel. It’s all there. Weapons are well done, you get 3 large pieces, a handgun, a knife, and what looks to be a holstered gun. He also comes packed with his puppy that triggered the chaos and a life size gold coin used by the underworld of assassins he is part of.
The only downside, and it’s subjective at that, he’s big. This is 7 inch scale, but he towers over other 7 inch figures. Not just in height, but overall frame. So he feels big next to other figures. By himself, or with other similar DST figures, no problem.
Bottom line, fantastic figure and worthy of a pick up, especially for the price of 25 bucks. MAFEX and MEZCO have versions out or coming but are significantly higher in price, and right now DST is just as good or better depending on your tastes.
He will be shipping to local comic shops and online retailers soon, get your orders in!

Early Look: John Wick Select from Diamond Select Toys In-Hand Gallery
Dang- he's HUGE! So much for picking him up to do some Alien/Predator shoot-outs!
Amazing photos as always Tony! Absolute joy to go through them!
On the figure, is it just me, or does he not look a little more like Nicholas Cage from some angles haha?
Isn't DST doing a 2nd version, from JW2, as well?
Amazing photos! Wow! Seriously impressive!
The figure is too BIG! What the heck were they thinking? That’s like 8” scale. Such a shame, because I would have loved to pick this one up. The scale ruins it for me, look at him next to the Terminator, that sucks! Great sculpt though.
Wow. They screwed up massively on the scale. Great job DST...

RE: Scale - I am not sure what DST Select figs run lately. I know the Gotham ones were big, but can't remember how much bigger than NECA / McFarlane style they were. So not sure if par for the course. Each company rocks their own scale. But for me, it's a tad bigger than I would want. If it were closer to that Terminator, or even slightly taller, I'd prefer that.
That being said, this is a super well done fig standing on it's own.
Plus with his excellent spread of accessories and strong likeness I can overlook inconstancies in height and scale.

I'm feeling tempted to get one of these but I'm not sure if I'd want this one or the sequel version.
