Mafex DAREDEVIL (Comic Version) No.223 Action Figure Review

[@Etetetienne]

“It doesn’t cost more for Hasbro to not make their figures look stupid” - the hard truth. Sculpting matters and putting effort into your product shows. It’s one of the most important aspects of a figure and Hasbro needs to understand, care, and execute this. It’s literally a zero cost adjustment.

[@deszaras3]

Indeed, but then they wouldn't be able to sell us every small improvement they make over the years.

[@TheMattTrakker]

@@deszaras3 This. At this point, I'm convinced it's intentional. When they come out with new molds that have obvious issues, I'm convinced they do this because they know a certain segment will buy it anyway and then they can sell them 2 to 3 "upgrades" as well.

[@ALienJeff]

​@@TheMattTrakker At some point people will realise what they are doing and just stop buying those crappy looking figures. If they're making losses now because people aren't buying their stuff as much anymore, it's on them.

[@josray2557]

I still think it's nuts marvel legends and GI Joe classified are the same company.. Even use some of the same sculptors. Classified are damn nice figures and Legends are very hard to look at. To me they just look gross.

[@tonileo9849]

⁠@@ALienJeffafter the Haslab 350$ car nothing will surprise me tbh, and yeah they re slowly, like, very slowly "upgrading" figures, first with pinless joints, then toe joints and soft goods but they still wont ditch the ab crunch or the reverse crunch but i think that will stay for 10 years before they finally use lower torso ball joints. There s also the painted on details like gloves or boots or the bad proportions.

When I received this figure in hand I immediately said to myself that I couldn't wait until you reviewed this. Possibly the simplest of designs may make this the product of the year. Thanks for your review on this DD. I am so happy that you had a great experience with it. And so happy that action figure class was back.

[@SHORYU616]

An additional Matt Murdock unmasked head would have made this figure a 10/10

[@Gen-Jin]

I was on the marvel legends subreddit, and some dude did a comparison between the MAFEX and Marvel legends. I kid you not, you had people preferring the marvel legends one because it looks better.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

That's a lot of hard coping going on

[@Mattyboy-dn4oo]

I think I read a comment on there with someone saying this post made him appreciate the Legends one even more because of how “organic” the sculpt was 😂 Sure….so a big head, small low shoulders, clown feet, and big lumps on the sides of the waist are natural for superheroes. My dude can’t even look up with that horribly executed neck joint that they just can never seem to get right. The standards are so low with these people. Basically the decision making is contingent on liking the character, not the actual figure unless it’s something just absolutely atrocious like a crap head sculpt

[@Gen-Jin]

@@Mattyboy-dn4oo I think I read that one too and audibly said "wtf." It's crazy too because I thought the marvel legends daredevil was an okayish figure, but the Mafex version makes the marvel legends one look so unnatural. I hate the uneven abs and the shoulder/trap area.

[@brobber05]

Glad you like it. Their Nightwing is one of my all time favourites and I can't help but feel like this is an improved attempt at that figure. Something about the shading and the matte feel of the figure just does something to me lol.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

The finish is way nice. Makes a big difference

[@doctorgiovanni853]

Anthony, m’boy, I always appreciate you and your excellent reviews; they are honest, objective, instructive, witty (I fancy your sense of humour) and educational. Even at my age, I am still learning so much [about] action figures (aka one of my first loves), and I find it brilliant. I have gained so much edifying illumination and insight into action figures and collecting over the past 11 years. Thank you for sharing your videos with us, mate. 👍 Concerning the DareDevil figure, Mafex may have produced their best figure yet. This one is indeed a cracking release, one that I hope to add to my collection soon! (I do not even have any sort of deep fascination nor ties to the DareDevil character, personally; however, I appreciate a great action figure when I see one - and this is one bloody impressive figure.) Whilst Knightfall Batman is good, I hope we get a definitive Batman from Mafex. Like you, I am a Batman fan, foremost. Grazie amico mio, Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧🇮🇹

[@paulrippcord506]

A Kaine Parker Scarlet Spider on this build would be amazing.

[@mitchellbailey6258]

You keep going on about him being too skinny, but that's exactly how I picture daredevils build. He's an acrobat at the end of the day

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I didn't do that. Also, you don't have to picture it. They drew lots of pictures of him in the comics.

[@devilhunterred]

He's also a boxer and a brawler. He's way too thin for either.

[@WayneTK7]

Yep this is true. He's based off of the born again comics and they captured his build and height perfectly. Look just like the art he's based on.

[@WayneTK7]

@@devilhunterred Just a simple google search. Daredevil Born Again comic and u will see exactly how he's drawn and Mafex nailed his look and size.

[@Sayacalbees87]

@@devilhunterredhave you ever actually watched a boxing match? Tons of boxers are slender it depends on the weight class you’re fighting in. It’s actually more beneficial to have a long slender build at any weight class reach is one of the most important things in boxing.

[@joey159213]

They absolutely killed it on this sculpt! Love the paint.

[@Sonsto]

Agree, agree, Agree, his proportions points out to ML Fanboys that the figures on the Renue your vows buck look odd. I hate the loaded upper legs and the massive clown feet, the head again as you said is way to big and the latts going up to his neck is way to big. I got my Mafex Daredevil last week, amazing also and also its seems they also added grease to most of the joints out of the factory that helped. if i had any nit pick i think i think the upper legs are slightly to long and wide at the hips. I wish he came with a radar sense also that could be placed around his head.

[@HyperDerp69]

Daredevil is my favourite superhero of all time, this’ll be my first Mafex. Can’t wait.

My Package huh...? I see you homie hahahaha.

[@kalorathekau]

I’ve seen so many ineffectual butterfly joints, I was caught off-guard at how good the one on this figure is! I don’t care enough about Daredevil to want this, but I wish some of my favourite figures/characters had articulation and sculptwork like this.

[@royal5922]

Mafex DD makes the ML one look like chewed up gum shaped like daredevil.

[@gmoney1664]

Great fig and a great review. I certainly appreciate the detail about elbow joint placement - it's good to understand why things are the way they are, both good and bad

[@TheMattTrakker]

"How often do you hear reviews talk about where joints SHOULD bend". Quite often, actually. I really only watch your reviews; you review a good amount of Legends and Multiverse so........lots of opportunities for teaching moments haha.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Touche

[@bonslurpenstein]

I remember getting TDK Batman, Catwoman, and Joker back in the day from Mafex, got them all in a bundle for $70 which felt like a steal even for 2018. Once I had them in hand in understood why I got the deal. They all constantly fell apart had bootleg level loose joints and even a vanilla pose took about 20 minutes of futzing around. Mafex has come a LONG way. Would love to see some other companies work on their line with that level of dedication

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Oh yeah. They started out pretty horribly lol

[@Skeletronfigures]

I got a tdk Batman recently I’m assuming they fixed the joints when rereleasing

[@bonslurpenstein]

@@Skeletronfiguresyeah they did some much needed updates with the later re-releases

[@nhyar]

Crazy that some people would still look at both of these figures side by side and still say "the ML is better" lol Unpopular opinion but I wish Hasbro could bring back the Bucky Cap mold but pinless and with improved range because that's the best body they have ever made. Better shoulder placement, nice sculpt, nice proportions... Really, the only thing it needs is an update.

[@Freefall347]

Yes, I think people only bash on the Bucky Cap mold because of how long it has been around, but the sculpt on it is great. The sculpt on the DD mold here is horrendous. I think this is one of their worst bodies, wish they'd let it die already.

[@jon1970]

Only a matt murdock head would’ve made this a perfect figure for me. I bought one and he’s amazing. Should’ve gotten two.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

That's true

[@WayneTK7]

Great review of another excellent Mafex release. Not sure if u noticed but the waist joint is a double ball-peg setup so it not like the usual stationary ball joint so u dont need to worried about pushing it too far and breaking. He actually gets an even deep crunch then want is shown if u push that waist joint a bit further.

[@ReeceHoward06]

The comparison between the Marvel Legend and Mafex Daredevil is PERFECT! THIS is what us rational collectors try to point out about Hasbro's figures. As an artist, it was always hard for me to get behind the hype of Hasbro Marvel Legends, because those proportions are exactly what you are gonna get with at least 90% of their product. It's as if the team are decent at art, but never actually went to school or studied actual human anatomy OR comic book art. No way professionals would be putting out the product they do with actual skill to back up the natural talent.

[@AlphaProto]

I've been seeing some awesome photos of this figure on instagram. Cool to see it is living up to the hype.

[@NexusMind724]

[@onemangang8879]

Regarding “slimness”, it all depends on which artist you regard as the definitive Daredevil artist. I came up during Lee Weeks’ run, and this figure looks almost exactly like his artwork. So this is absolutely my personal definitive look for DD. If Mazzucchelli is your guy, this is a little slim, but not too far off.

[@anthonydarnell]

Another excellent unbiased review. 💯👏👏👏 This figure is AMAZING! 🔥

[@lennyadams9459]

I just got mine today and its a fantastic figure man. I say easily figure of the year for Marvel or DC. 10/10

[@SDSwampert]

My biggest complaint with this figure is the way they did the butterflies. They stick out like a sore thumb, it's way worse than most of their other offerings, and it makes his chest look weird. Other than that, looks pretty good

[@arthurchen6464]

I really like his shoulders. They raise almost anatomically correctly, with a bigger chunk at the top of the pivot compared to the divot where the pit is supposed to be. Did they make a smaller hinge and move it close to the pit to simulate correct anatomy? Imo this beats the Revoltech way of doing it.

[@diegoborges3716]

By the price point, maybe it should come with an unmasked Matt Murdock head. But most wouldn't pose the figure with that. So, who cares?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It should. I totally forgot about that. I never use unmasked heads.

[@TheShark110]

It should've come with an unmasked head

[@EggrollB3]

[@plasticpapi_]

3:24 definitely agree with you man that marvel legends DD looks goofy and not convincing at all

[@franklam8146]

They should have shaded the forehead, if they shaded the body they should have done the forehead. It would also make the red in the eyes pop, like in the comics. It would have been the icing on the cake, of an otherwise perfect figure.

[@steverogers6836]

Why should Hasbro improve? ML fans have proven repeatedly that they will buy absolute garbage just because it’s their favorite character. Why should Hasbro invest money on making better products when they don’t have to? Don’t blame Hasbro, blame the consumers.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I do. But the thing is that most of the improvements wouldn't cost them anything so there's no reason to not do them.

[@Dev-nb3kt]

Squint your eyes when Anthony shows the daredevils side by side. Mafex wins by a mile. The silhouette on the mafex looks sooo much better. Granted the legs and arms do look lean but his shoulders and waist proportioning looks so much better

[@EbonyVengeance]

The Mafex Jean Grey figure looks goood👌🏾👌🏾

[@graefx]

Ive always kept my Bucky Capt DD. The retro spiderman buck does nothing for me and the bucky capt build fits better to me especially as everything has scaled up. I dont think Im picking this up but if they do the heavy black deco, Im sold. Thats been my one big want and I almost caved and got the animated DD for that despite the awful body.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Bucky Cap DD is definitely better than the "good" one

[@fortressmattimus3984]

This Mafex puts Legends on full blast. It's incredible what proper proportions and a little bit of paint will do for you. This Mafex actually looks like a literal superhero. Daredevil is one of my favorite Marvel characters. Thank God my patience paid off because somebody finally did him justice.

[@WolfKing1987]

Bro, I am the same When it comes to Bindi wire weapons. I don’t like to unwrap them I like them perfectly wrapped. This is why I need to get another daredevil so I can unwrap the Bindi wire weapons.

[@PeterTennant]

The Hasbro Black Shaded Daredevil is the best 1/12 scale DD out their. This one is good tho.

[@spoodurmin9742]

His lats should be a tad bit wider I think, that would have gotten rid of the weird gap between where his upper torso and triceps meet when u have him standing normally. But besides that he is almost 1:1 with how Mazzucchelli drew him.

[@chet_inator_gator]

Hope Mafex makes a Jim Lee War Journal Punisher. On the other end of the spectrum in terms of tone - I’d buy a whole Batman 66 Mafex line too haha

[@Stoopid_Sandwich]

I’m in full agreement with you on wanting a comic shaded variant down the road. I was considering customizing my Daredevil but it’s not a paint application I’m used to trying on my own and there is a science to it. And it’s also not something that I’d be willing to risk without having a spare one of these figures on hand

[@pilamonakaswivelman9984]

I was so happy and impressed when I got mine, as a guy who only sticks to spiderman figures, this figure really blew my mind when I got it, I am SOOO glad I got this over the knightfall batman figure(for context I wanted to try other figures that weren’t just spiderman)

[@angrym0nkeysh0w]

This might be the first Mafex figure I'll ever get (and hopefully the only one for the benefit of my pocket). The only thing I don't really like is the peg hole on his leg. They could have made a "pocket" for us to place his stick-thingies

[@aliteralchad7128]

It seems like the difference is this is a one time body made correctly the first time after years of progress on a higher budget and then the marvel legends is a hodgepodge of compromises due to articulation and hardware inside the figure and poorly executed corrections to keep the buck in circulation

[@AnthonysCustoms]

There's no excuse for the goofy shoulders and big head. Not budget. Not articulation. Not whatever hardware you're talking about. Nothing.

[@aliteralchad7128]

@@AnthonysCustoms I’m talking about what the team refers to as explanations to why they can’t do the simple fixes you’re always talking about it’s not like I just made it up dude. I thought your supposed to know everything about figures? I would assume there is restrictions being a mass market company that they have to abide by when it comes to the tiny pieces inside the figure and the plastic that is used. In attempts to cater to these standards have brought us to where we are today. Or the team is just completely inept and are actively ignoring professionals and fans who have been asking for a simple fix so the shoulders don’t look absurdly small on 50 percent of their best selling figures.

[@chewymew]

@@aliteralchad7128 They're inept and making up excuses in order to get the fanboys off their back. They said double jointed elbows on females weren't possible because their limbs are too skinny, they said the same about giving females butterfly joints and ab crunches.

2 Quick questions… Do Mafex figures lose value once opened and removed from the box? Or do they still hold their value somewhat? I’m looking to get the Superman Hush figure and was unsure if I should keep him in box or not

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Everything loses value when you open it. But if you want to open it, it's worth more to you opened than sealed. Keep the box and everything if you're planning to sell eventually. That'll help the value some

[@freakasaur100]

Great review. Figure looks amazing. I really have no idea how people say hasbro is better. Even if i couldn’t afford mafex, id still admit it’s infinitely better than the hasbro.

In fairness to Hasbro, Marvel Legends cost 25% of what Mafex do. The problem is that in many cases they're less than 25% as good.

Like Anthony said, "It doesn't cost more to sculpt it right." The price isn't relevant when it comes to sculpting anatomically correct bodies. There's dollar store toys with better anatomy than Marvel Legends

It's actually kind of sad to me how I really didn't see the issues before but now it's so obvious lol. Legends figures rarely ever look like comic book figures. And even when they do, it's more "acceptable" than good. But this figure? I said it looked like a comic figure and I credit so much of my reasoning now to your videos. Articulation, shading, proportions, useful and thoughtful accessories, if you can afford Mafex, you realize why you feel so much better buying them than a ML or McF or whatever. This guy is a massive stepup from relatively good figures anyway. The sad part is, how many people will try to track down that ML one on the aftermarket vs getting this 😂

[@magma169]

honestly the only thing that would have elevated the figure is an unmasked Matt Murdoch head. Otherwise, stellar.

[@brianng8350]

I have no problem that figures are too slender. That is my complaint with Marvel figures - everyone is too muscular. Spider-Man and Nightcrawler are not a bulky guy. Cyclops used to be called slim.

The standards are SO low with Hasbros. It’s like there are so many examples of sculpt and articulation being done well by all these companies and yet people still try to justify buying this crap. Even if you love the character, do you really want a mediocre figure of said character. One of these looks like a comic book character, the other is a big headed, clown footed, lumpy mess. With a terrible toros joint. And barely any paint.

[@freddysmith1471]

I still don't get why Mafex's scale changes from figure to figure. Their Daredevil is bigger than their Captain America figure and their both bigger than Thor. Standing alone it's a great figure and it might sound crazy, but it feels heavier in hand than a lot of the other Mafex figures.

[@AlphaProto]

Maybe they are starting to take scale into consideration? If this was a few years ago the recent Bane would have been the size of their Venom.

[@OofMr.Chattino]

Hasbro repurposes as many existing sculpts and parts so when they release a new figure unfortunately it's piecing together something vs investing in new proportionate body parts and this shows. Mafex for sure does the same but this DD and from Nightwing. This also goes to why Mafex costs more than Hasbro.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

That has nothing to do with the bad sculpts and proportions though

[@OofMr.Chattino]

@@AnthonysCustoms i think the decisions Hasbro (like most big major companies) is making are based on efficiency rather than accuracy. That maybe lead to having some general and bad sculpts, idk?

Sorry. I have no interest in those.

@@AnthonysCustoms ah dang. Thanks for responding anyway
