Marvel Legends Infinite Series Hobgoblin Build-a-Figure: Daredevil

The Man without Fear

Hi Everyone, welcome to our first Marvel Legend Superhero Netflix Series Comic Version that this tag is too long - the man without fear, Daredevil.

We will no longer review about the box and stuff since I already threw them away and lets focus on the Action Figure Itself. But first let's give our hero a little bio.

Name: Matthew Murdock [Earth-616]
Alias: Daredevil
Occupation: Lawyer by Day
Affiliation: New Avengers, Defenders, Nelson and Murdock, SHIELD, Marvel Knights, Hand

Daredevil was never born blind. He was blinded as a child when he save a man walking towards an incoming truck and accidentally spilled a radioactive isotope resulting with his blindness. But this blindness heighten his other senses to a superhuman level.

In one of the version of Daredevil, he wasnt actually blind. He can see an infrared like vision that looks like burning hell.

To give this a better review, let's use another Daredevil figure that we once loved right before when this new Daredevil came months ago.

Before that, if you are asking what is the best Daredevil Marvel Legends Figure - it should have been the Nemesis Series Daredevil that comes in the First Appearnce Version and Classic Red in which I don't have both.

This new Daredevil [left] comes in close with the generic bucky cap mold in which in my opinion indeed has awesome articulation. From head swivel to ankle pivot but in comparison with this old smc Daredevil [right], this old one still has the most and this one shares the same body as the series 6 Deadpool.

But when it comes to articulation, both of them still is poseable. It's jsut that this new bucky mold Daredevil is better because it won't give you that awkward armpit look when you raise his hands unlike the SMC Daredevil.

One thing that I wished that the New Daredevil [left] had was the same paint wash, and added texture on the body. Yes, indeed the color was good that they made it in a blood red color and the light orange variation on the gloves but it's too plain. Even the DD logo is awful comapreed to the DD logo on the SMC.

The weapon too ain't so bad, and this was used already in ML figures like Hellcat and Mocking Bird but what was bad is its too wide that it looks like a long colored white hotdog.

Anyway, the overall figure wasn't so bad - in geeky scale i think the height is still not accurate - but in terms of uniformity. I suggest you get this one and updated your Marvel Legends display with this one.:)

Note: This new Daredevil Figure also comes in it's First Appearance Version which was released as a Walmart Exclusive. This one comes in an alternate Matt Murdock Head which apparently just a repainted RR Series Modern Hawkeye.
