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.

[@theraven268]

@@johns3153 Like many other characters Daredevil has literally been drawn this way, he has also been ridiculously bulky and everything in between, this figure at least has good proportions and Daredevil IS supposed to be an agile character without super strength so this build seems reasonable, more a gymnast build. But if you prefer bulky DD that is allso reasonable since he was drawn that way and he has the brawler/boxer thing going as well. Point is that is a preference. Btw: Face Off Daredevil might be it for you if you want a bulky Daredevil.

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.

[@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.

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.🇬🇧🇮🇹

[@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.

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

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@KidultNPlay]

[@johns3153]

@@chewymew actually it would the sculpture team at Hasbro is to blame for alot of bad sculpted figures so either they need more training or to be fired and replaced with more higher leveled skill people like they said on a live stream it's just 4 guys that sculpted for marvel figures separately from other lines like star wars black series and gi joe, or the Indiana Jones which in my opinion that line is almost SH.F especially the battle damaged look he has

[@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.

[@EggrollB3]

Love seeing you review this fig!

[@anthonydarnell]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@s2knightryder]

I’m genuinely shocked you gave a 9.8 score.. you sir can surprise sometimes. A well deserved score. Thank you for the review.

[@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

[@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

[@AlphaProto]

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

[@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.

[@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. And the whole "safety regulated for kids" thing is also an excuse. The head, hands, and certain accessories are also choking hazards.

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

[@gameworldintel9924]

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

Mafex really did a great job here. What's even better for them is they could sell repaints like comic shading ver, and Shadowlands (Black) or Original Yellow & Red and they would all probably sell really well. Throw in an unmasked head, and watch the money flow.

[@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.

[@yodaiam6996]

I totally agree that a lot of Hasbro's problems can be fixed at little to no cost to them. However, if a lot of what makes this figure so much better wouldn't cost much extra, how can it possibly be worth nearly 4x the price?

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.

[@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

This figure the marvel select and the Mezco in my opinion are the best daredevil figures out there what do you think of my picks

Its accurate i guess but i dont like figs of just one color . I wish it had the black like the pic on the box like you said .
