This figure finally pulls it all together and gives me exactly what I wanted; a neutral Sandman with swappable effects pieces that allow you to portray his power set. I love that they made Hydro Man, but if I could have anything different on that figure its for his powers to be portrayed with optional effect pieces.

The Sandman Deluxe Edition Book Four, collecting The Sandman #51–69 and Vertigo Jam #1. Published November 2021. A voracious reader of fantasy and a devotee of gothic horror, Gaiman offered Berger a very big swing. Instead of another Sandman adventure story, he’d write a six-issue yarn about a sentient personification of the human imagination escaping from captivity and solving a mystery.
