this isnt my fav DD look but its really cool to see, and they nailed it. heres hoping we get a new retooled red suit soon or classicyellow
Always been a huge Daredevil fan... was never a huge fan of this costume tho... still think the figure turned out pretty decent so I must just pick it up if I see it!

Home run, Hasbro.
Sculpting was indeed the way to go. I wasn't crazy about the outfit, and I agree that its run in the comics was often rendered in a messy style, but I knew it wasn't going to last and they'd go back to the classic red. Which they did. I imagined that this is an alternate outfit for him, so if he wears it now and again it wouldn't bother me.
But I'm so glad Hasbro took the time to really make this work. Its like Moon Knight's modern suit- which I never expected to see in action figure form- showing that when they take the time, they can really put out a great toy. This is why I get so frustrated with some of their output, because just a little bit ofcare goes a long way, and I know that they have the ability.
The sculpting, the metallic paint....yes!!
Daredevil is my all time favorite character, so much so that I have a tattoo, but I HATE this costume because it's from a run that's practically unreadable...

This looks really good, I was always a fan of this look for DD and was anticipating a Legend, but oddly enough as much as I like this figure it's not a huge want for me, I don't feel extremely compelled to get it, I could go without it, I don't plan on rushing out to own it, but I mean if i saw it in the wild I probably couldn't say no, the Defenders pack DD is really my personal only must have DD figure, and I can be happy in the end with just owning that, it's also just that the rest of this wave has so much more integral figures like GG, Electro and Gwen, this one isn't as important to me
I prefer the all red version since it's more iconic, but hasbro did a great job on this one.
It's a bit funny to hearerivera speculate that this figure got the short end of the budget stick when the red parts being sculpted shows that the figure has quite a lot of mold tooling to make it look properly armored. Hasbro took the extra step and didn't just paint them in. You can compare it to the 3.75" version of this costume. In this figure ther ed plating is just painted and that does look cheap.
This along with Gwen and Electro and my must gets for this wave. I love the metallic red.
Looks great,look forward getting this along with the rest of the wave except peter parker
