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.

Playarts Kai - DC Variant No. 1 - Batman

DC Comics Dark Knight was released in one of Square-Enix famous toy line - Playarts Kai. Batman was released together with PAK Versions of Green Lantern and Wonderwoman in which I do not know If I would still get. Besides, finding them nowadays are so hard and they had become so expensive in some stores. Well anyway, just like the previous PAK/PA from other series Square-enix never fails to amaze me with that great detailing and sculpt. These figures are in a scale of 1/6, and taller than the old Batman PA's. A few days later after it's released a Red Variant was announced and can now be bought on some stores - He reminds me of Thomas Wayne, do you agree?
So, let's check what we have for now...

See Full Post

The Box was a Flip-Cover Box with the Dark Knight's skethed Face. What does Kai means anyway? it's Written in Kanji - am I right? - over there... I think it's means restoration or something

The Back of the Box shows Wonderwoman and Green Lantern - as I mentioned before they were released togther with this Batman.

Your Package should included the Figure, an Unassembled Sealed Stand, and these weapons - a katana, a bat rail gun or something - 2 open hands one hand for holding stuff, by default the figures hand are clenched - and a Batarang

Front View

Side View - Left - look at that sculpt, can you see his sexy butt? lol

Back View

A Close Up on what we can see on his face - you see? The sculpt on this one was amazing - What a handsome Batman Figure.

Side View

The bat on his chest was in a right size - not to small nor large - and he looks pretty much armored.

Of Course the three spikes on his hand will always be there, although on this one - I don't know if this was a defect but the middle one was not aligned.

The Cape is Movable, you can sepearate it and extend it as much as you want - jsut don't over do it PAKS are a little Joint Sensitive

Movable head, arms, legs, waist - what more can you ask for? It's pretty much poseable.

Batman holding this Rail Gun whatever I don't know what kind of gun is that - And on a Batman point of view, I think thats too big for him. Your a Ninja wearing a Cape, Why briing a big thing like that?

This Katana was my favorite, although I am not used to see Batman holding a Katana.

Batarang - ...

Now, what is this you say? A friend told me, one of the silliest thing he saw in this Figure is this - Hooks on his Cape. And yes he is right, your a Ninja with a cape and it's already a burden and you even put a hook? How can you stealth with metals clinging in you? What if it get caught into something? Seriously, why the Hook?

Anyway, on an overall verdict - this was an awesome figure to have specially if you're a fan of the Dark Knight . But don't think too much if what series this costume appeared.

It's also good for an Photoshoots - I enjoyed taking pictures of it....

Silhouette... but I failed -_-

Lastly, If you wonder what was the color scheme - Here is a clearer shot with my camera's flash turned on. The scheme was actually Black and Shades of Blue which was Batman's original color scheme except it doesn't have the yellow background batman logo.

Overall, the Sculpt was Good, Details will amaze you, it's poseable with a little bit of patience but still flexibility is somehow limited. :)
