Marvel Legends ELEKTRA Daredevil: Woman Without Fear Spider-Man Action Figure Review

[@thecollector616]

This daredevil story arc that came out with her in it was awesome so when they revealed this I was all for it

[@Fulcrum-sf5zb]

Awesome is a stretch lol. Chip interjects his personal politics too much. Could have been great, but too political at times.

[@aznsketcher]

​@Fulcrum-sf5zb Yes, but I tend to skip all that sh*t and concentrate on the overall comic story and it has been a good ride...mostly....the story about Goldie was weird...

[@joshjmc1787]

​@@Fulcrum-sf5zbits a pretty flawless Marvel run for most of its stretch

[@walkingcubkid]

This new elektra design looks absolutely badass! I love it!

[@frankhorrigan7877]

Congratulations on the baby, Anthony!

[@Sness]

Definitely wanted this. Zdarsky's Daredevil run is one of the few really good marvel comics in recent years but for the $25 price point the lack of accessories and paint is really disappointing.

[@Fulcrum-sf5zb]

I honestly haven’t been that big of a fan of his run. He interjects his personal political beliefs too much.

[@joseph_goat6769]

Agreed his daredevil series as well as Benjamin Percy’s ghost rider and wolverine and jed McKay moonknight are the only 4 comic series that were good these past 3 years

[@Fulcrum-sf5zb]

@@joseph_goat6769 McKay has been good. She-Hulk was great until they decided they’re going to do another number reboot for some reason. I haven’t been a huge fan of Percy though. Cantwell is doing some good stuff with Hellcat so far.

[@joseph_goat6769]

@@Fulcrum-sf5zb yeah hellcats story is good but the art is atrocious

[@Fulcrum-sf5zb]

@@joseph_goat6769 it’s a little different for sure lol

[@scottpiper213]

This figure looks awesome but these are now $45+ each in Canada. That’s beyond absurd for what you’re getting.

[@Tuchpi]

😢yeah it's awful. McFarlane's made some good stuff recently, thankfully those are still 26-29

[@Lord.of.Apokolips]

[@anony-mousse8487]

​@@Lord.of.ApokolipsFor the price point McFarlane eats Hasbro for breakfast

[@FireBomberBassist]

That’s crazy! I’d all but drop this line.

[@someonels3]

What are you talking about? They’re $36

[@rafaelvolpiteixeira7315]

I'm really excited for the new Daredevil that was announced in SDCC to pair with this Elektra!

[@doctorgiovanni853]

The last Marvel Legends figure that was better than average was Marvel Legends X-Men Monet St. Croix, who rated favourably on Anthony’s scale. When they care, Hasbro knows how to make strong female comic book characters-and this Elektra is evidence of that fact. Lovely! Bloody brilliant review, Mister Anthony. 👍 Arrivederci, Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧

[@royal5922]

I wish the finish was nicer but this is definitely a stand out ML figure. I'm only getting female ML figures that have 2 poa on the torso from now on but this is an exception. It looks nice with that rival figure can't wait for the next progress update on them.

[@matthewjoyner1595]

I really like Elektra so I want as many different figures of her as possible. Also think this design is really cool. She just makes for an awesome action figure which is honestly the most important thing for me. Also, I recently bought a Gundam panel lining marker, and I’ve been using it on all of my action figures lately. This figure in particular really stands out and looks great with minimal effort. I highly recommend everyone get some Gundam panel lighting pens for their figures.

[@emkhet7924]

I'll pick her up, especially now that she's one sale for $12.99 at Target😋

[@Saiyan1229]

I wish they would have waited to give her the new black widow articulation

[@zenquantum1246]

This design definitely caught my attention. It’s on my wishlist even though I haven’t read this run of Daredevil

[@89DannyRaider89]

I need to see you interview those 3 at Hasbro. Damn that would be such a good watch. They probably would shit themselves.

[@NomadSoul21]

So this figure is Anthony-approved! Glad to know. I was waiting for this review to decide whether to get this or not. Thanks!

[@Magfnneto]

"There's nothing to bring it to life", yea it's missing Evanescence.

[@JayWoods483]

Thanks for your review on this product Anthony. In a recent infamous interview with Shartimus Prime the Hasbro ML team tried to justify their position regarding character production. Obvious takeaway I got was Hasbro would rather pump out more characters of lesser quality so they can maintain prices, then issue fewer good products at a higher cost. Has Hasbro forsaken the paint brush in favor of keeping their prices down? That is a mentality that feeds the boardroom's profit margins then appeasing their consumers. Fans come first right?

[@chewymew]

I think the fans are irrelevant to Hasbro (not the figure designers, but the company). Money is the only reason the ML line still exists. Idk how Hasbro decides how many figures are to be made in a year, but it's cheaper to just repaint a generic body and make a new head than create an entirely new body that could only be used once (like Spider Armor MK I)

[@TheMattTrakker]

I don't even believe they need to pump these out at such a low quality to maintain prices. Maybe to maintain the profit margins that they promised investors. They're going to keep producing garbage until people stop buying it.

[@JayWoods483]

@@chewymew cheaper and lazier especially the fact ML replaced paint with colored plastic.

[@chewymew]

@@TheMattTrakker But the bulk of people will never stop buying these, Hasbro has those people convinced that Marvel Legends is the best line ever. They've already convinced Shartimus - one of the biggest ML reviews, possibly one of the most influential too - that double ball peg necks are terrible and that diaphragm + reverse ab crunch is the best combo. And if Shart shares those opinions with his audience, then all those people will starting thinking the same way. And those same people hearing "Anthonyscustoms" automatically discredit all his reviews as just "being a hater."

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I am such a hater. HasBros think I'm an import fanboy and weabs think I'm a hasbro shill.

[@rehanimus]

I want a whole 2099 wave. With spider woman, black widow, venom, and probably some xmen characters too

[@ProjectC28Channel]

11:57 Agree 100% . I was wondering if you had seen the interview. But im glad you said something . Its been bugging me like crazy they had the Audacity to say something like that. MAKE THE BETTER FIGURES !

[@Jose-vv9cc]

i'll keep on practicing my washes with this one, definitely on the straps part. Not sure how a wash on the front of the skirt piece would look but probably will try that as well

[@faridrv3889]

@Anthonyscustoms Man where is SDCC stream? Wanted to watch that live but fell asleep, woke up and it dissapeared

[@AnthonysCustoms]

i deleted for fear of youtube having a problem with the man boobs on that one figure. they do weird stuff sometimes.

[@faridrv3889]

​@AnthonysCustoms lol, but what a pity. I was looking forward to your opinion on the revealed figures

[@FREKKI]

I’m on break from Hasbro right now. Price keeps going up and the quality and value has been stale. I’ll pick stuff up on discount but I’m done paying full price until something changes.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I think a lot of people feel that way

[@BULLET522]

2:31 did anyone else think of Evanescence Bring Me to Life from the Daredevil movie for Elektra when he said bring it to life or just me? 😅

[@jasonrollins980]

Been waiting for her...I found her last week. In my top ten figs now. Great review.

[@Spike6375]

Damn Rapheal lookin different

[@chewymew]

Gender and species swap Raphael lol

[@chewymew]

At 10:37 it's funny how an unpainted Rival Clans prototype appears to have paint apps on par with a released product by Hasbro

[@SwitchShmup]

Just ordered mine. Love Elektra as DD!!!

[@bjpalm1994]

Great review Anthony! Never read this particular DD story but she looks like a cool figure. Definitely worth a pickup. Yes, Rival Clans! Been waiting to hear more of that project. Glad that you haven’t given up on it.

[@rehanimus]

Her face isn't shiny, it's sweaty😂

[@brianng8350]

“Mikey likes it!” I have fixed feeling about the design - comics and figure. Initial response is positive, but then there are some issues, especially the head; it is pretty much a Daredevil head? But the scarf or whatever is cool but also awkward.

[@tomfin-wo5vc]

Q of the Day: I’m completely unfamiliar with this version of the character, so she wasn’t on my want list. I’m also trying to get out of the “but…it’s a cool figure!” market, so I’m not sure if I’ll pick this one up or not. Maybe if I see her on clearance. I was just thinking before you made those last couple of comments at the end that I’m so tired of buying crap figures of characters that I really want, and passing on good figures of characters that I don’t care about from this line. It’s frustrating.

[@jacobjames4537]

I got it for 25, I stopped ML months ago but honestly, I like this one. I don't have any Daredevils

[@FriedSpicyChicken26]

@2:30 Ha, tried to sneak in that Evanescense pun from the song that came out in Affleck's Daredevil.

[@dylansandoval9841]

I really wanted to pick this up but the lack of waist movement on a ninja figure is a big turn off. Theyve raised prices on these and have just gotten lazy.

[@mikepowers9486]

Never saw that look, but I haven't collected comics in forever. I pre ordered her. She looks cool. I don't think I will use her scarf mask thingy. She will look cool with the new DD. I might have to add a little extra paint myself. But overall looks good. They really should have gave her the more articulate body like Black Widow.

[@Victor-mc1sz]

Don't know this costume, but I don't mind a figure that can be used as a generic female ninja. Since it comes with a scarf that can be removed to make a variant, gonna army build her when she drops in price. Lack of accessories is disappointing, but I have a bunch of swords/weapons that I can give her- Still a no no with no additional items. Lack of a good kick hurts, but with a drop of price makes it worth a purchase.

[@sillygoose0193]

she has like really tiny hands so if you use other accessories they mite not work

[@Victor-mc1sz]

@@sillygoose0193 Switch out the hands for another

[@CyclopsWasRight616]

they saved all that money on deco, and they passed those savings onto saying "FU" to collectors. I DO like this figure and will be watching for it on clearance.

[@NerdRahtio]

I don’t normally read comics anymore, the quality of writing is just not there , but these design caught my eye before it was announced as a figure. Easily my favorite marvel legend of the year so far.

[@BoogSReviews]

Chip Zdarsky’s daredevil run has been fantastic. You should give it a read

[@spoodurmin9742]

Zdarsky’s Daredevil is really good though, can’t say the same for his other projects however

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

The sculpt does look amazing. I don't know this iteration of the character but this looks great. Hasbro have been making action figures for years, yet still muff the articulation. Jada are new to action figure creation, but blow Hasbro out of the water with their Street Fighter range. Better articulation, and usually more accessories.

[@thetruth1013]

Just picked her up from Ollie’s for ten bucks! I’m pleased 😀

[@suhtangwong]

10:25 the forbidden ninja!

[@andrewmdoza]

i thought the scarf was part of the head sculpt and knowing it’s not, i want this fig now

[@jerrytant9625]

Same, originally passed till I realized that too, picked up immediately after this review

[@suhtangwong]

Holy cow! Did not expect that rating. The figure is really nice though. Articulation could be better.

[@MrForeverfrost]

Great review! Great Hasbro figure! But I gotta say I am more excited about getting a set of Rival Clans figures one day to display and have standing above the Hasbro lines! Awesome channel! Cant wait to see Rival Clans be crowd funded cause I am definitely all in!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thanks a lot

[@thenotoriousunc]

I like her without the scarf ,soon to cop for sure

[@VictorFactor94]

I don't think the pants should stop the baggyness there though. They're usually tighter around he calf, area so they obviously simply didn't wanna engineer new knees for baggy pants lol

[@JacM78]

It's a shame hasbro is still having trouble with their diaphragm joints. They did it perfectly with their new peter b parker figure. Hell, they even added a waist joint that works better than some of their diaphragm joints.

[@chewymew]

I made a custom full-suited Peter B Parker, and without the coat on, the torso has near import level of articulation. I don't know why Hasbro just doesn't use that considering how good it works

[@AcesOfZeon]

Shading, wash with this kind of action figure is really a miss opportunity from hasblow... it will bring out more to the character... Sadly that hasbro hasbro'd this. There's always something missing in an action figure... i agree with you on shartimus, Anthony!

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

I added a basic wash to her suit... infinitely better looking. I think the concept of the look is cool,but the character...not so much. I glued it.

[@Zombub]

11:46 I was so curious what Anthony thought of that interview lol

[@NinJa-qr1sp]

Yes. Give me 25 - 30 good ones.

[@corruptpixel8441]

This run is amazing, totally recommended

[@mkl4466]

I'm curious how this torso would work with arm and legs and head swapped out as a kitbash for the Carnage version of Mary Jane from the end of the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon.

[@wwe682]

Oh I have to cop this along with the new Daredevil

[@ayan31_08]

this was the best figure from the wave, and does look good

[@josephelston895]

are you gonna review the new target black widow if you can find it ?? it’s probably the definitive marvel legends widow

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Yeah but I'm not looking for it so that might be a problem

[@ChesapeakeRipper]

even tho I quit collecting ML all together Imma def pick this one up (once it drops to a reasonable price tho) since I did want this fig since they announced it

[@wsugj]

I didn't know this design was a thing. I saw and thought, that looks cool. I might get it. It depends on how this review turns out.

[@meneliktafari894]

Fantastic review

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thank you kindly

[@2obscure4u]

If keeping the paints simple keeps these figures around 20 bucks I honestly think it's fine. Most kids aren't going to care, casual collectors aren't going to care, and the people who do care will likely repaint it themselves. The sculpt and articulation are much more important to me in an ML figure than shading and washes.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

what if i told you they could add paint and keep the price at 25 bucks

[@Mike-collects316]

Omg I'm waiting to get this in hand !

[@QuantumSurge64]

I'm tempted to get this release

[@joeschannel1593]

I've found this figure at a store at 20 USD, should I buy it?

[@tonileo9849]

I thought Anthony was gonna pull up Fey Long for the baggy pants comparison

[@BoogSReviews]

If I remember right, one of her sai’s should have dulled points.

[@jrsrecroom3344]

It’s a cool design, so I might as well get it

[@ralphyfirebird4662]

If this came with accessories, I think it would have been a great release. I'm okay with no wash, it has decent articulation but no accessories is a bummer. :/ Awesome toy photography at the end. 👍🏻

[@El_capitanazo]

Hasbro is doing doble ball peg bad because one of his favorite youtuber say hinge is better, even if he argue with him about the issue gets mad and aggressive, but we know the truth about which is better when is ingeniering properly

[@numerousncomicsandlegos6780]

Feel like the red could be a little darker

[@TheMattTrakker]

If it's all new sculpt, I wonder what 4 other figures they have planned to use the same parts

[@Duomaxwell02M]

See haters, Anthony can ACTUALLY praise a Marvel Legends figure as long as its deserving of it! 😄

[@jestaalchaosborne]

I think I have a new favorite look for elektra lol

[@munizbros999]

Pretty sure Hasbro purposely doesn’t try on the ML line bc they have to share profit with marvel 😂 would explain why they actually try on the GI Joe line, gotta get those selling

Any Okinawan karate practitioners out there who can tell me if that stupid claw grip is a real thing?
