TOY REVIEW: Daredevil


Since it's Daredevil season cause of the Netflix series, here's an upgraded figureon the classic rendition of Daredevil.

        Daredevil's popularity has been on a high lately, and the inclusion of this figure in the wave is just timely. Here we have the first appearance of Daredevil in his yellow suit. I believe this is the 3rd time we got to have him in this scale, one from Showdown and the other from the MU boxset




Here's the rest of the assortment for 2016 Mavel Legends Series Wave 2


Each case consists of:
x1 Gamora, Armored Spider-man, Living Laser, Daredevil, Rage, Ant-man (reissue), x2 Vision

Where did I acquire it?: Kramer Toy Warden
How much?: SRP of Php 750 each / Preorder Php 4850 (set of 7)
Condition during acquisition: MOC

Packaging:


Accessories:
Daredevil comes with a baton club you can attach,
similar to MU's Daredevil comic pack and Mockingbird.

Sculpt: 

+ Great reuse of the Daredevil mold (MU, MIS)

Paint:
+ Rich shade of yellow
- Flesh tone on his mouth seems dark
- Not enough contrast between the reds and browns thus the "D" on his chest doesn't seem to be that noticeable
- Some shading and wash could have made this figure look better.

Articulation:   


Daredevil is a straight up repaint of MU's comic pack, thus he get's the full arsenal of articulation. 

Size Comparison:
MLS Daredevil | MU Daredevil
MU Elektra | MLS Daredevil | MU Bullseye

Overall Grade
        Not really a fan of this look of Daredevil, that's why I haven't gotten any of the previous figures of this version. Was initially planning to sell this off, but had an idea what to do with it. Will post it here soon once it's done.

        Figure wise, it's a straight up repaint so you probably have an idea how it feels. The figure retains the exceptional modern MU articulation. Paint could have used some wash to make it pop a bit more. It's a great addition if you're a Daredevil fan, and or have a classic lineup collection.

Accessories - 3/5
Sculpt - 4/5
Paint - 2/5
Articulation - 5/5
Value - 2.5/5
Final Grade - 3.3/5
