Oh Bullseye. Such a huge line in the sand. For some people the Toy Biz version is the end-all, be-all action figure of the aptly named assassin. And I’ll admit, it totally deserves it’s place in Marvel Legends history. But I’ve also been waiting for something more classic comic. More simplistic yet eye-catching. Thank you, Hasbro.
Again, don’t get me wrong. I loved the original figure. I still love it, being reminded of just how great it is after digging it out of the storage tub. And really, this isn’t a contest. There isn’t a winner. It’s all preference. And really, when it comes down to it, the two Bullseyes serve two different purposes. If you’re more of a gritty, realistic type, you have your Bullseye already. If you prefer the clean comic style, Hasbro now has you covered.
We all win. C’mere, ya big lug, we can hug it out.
And this figure has it all. Well, it doesn’t have playing cards, but I’ll let that slide. Knife. Gun. A cool blade throwing effect that actually works fairly well. The pointy finger is my favorite. The missing tooth. But what caught me off-guard was the alternate, unmasked head. I didn’t expect to care for it too much, which is okay because it’s an extra. I will NEVER complain about extra stuff in my toy packaging. But I’m surprised at how much I like it. The masked head is sinister while being a bit playful, which I really dig. But the bald head is downright evil. I don’t usually go for screaming faces but it totally works here. I’m afraid to put it next to other figures. Hell, I’m scared to have it in the house.
Can you tell I love the hell out of this figure? Buy it. If you don’t love it you can send it to me, free of charge. You pay shipping, I get it. Free of charge. You can’t beat that deal!

I’m pretty sure the Toybiz one has been used for a figure within the past
2 years. It was so great that it’s always stayed in the rotation.
payday was yesterday so im finally gonna stop by today after work and see whats left after two days ahahah. expecting it to be wiped out.
PS. ALL OF THE PAINT APPS WERE EXCELLENT!!! COME ON STAR WARS TEAM, TAKE A CUE FROM YOUR MARVEL LEGENDS STAFF DOWN THE HALL THEY ARE KILLING IT!
i cant believe my closest Gamestop got 2 complete sets of this wave (maybe even 3, they had 3 daredevils) on wednesday. i had to pass because i was broke!!! ahhhh. they also got GOTG wave 2, and a weird assortment of the Warlock wave (4 cyclops?!?!?!) it was the freshest most available stock i’ve seen at brick & morter in a long time. i was mystified. i should have snapped pics because no on will believe me but the gamestop people already annoy me so i dont think they would understand someone taking pictures in their cramped store aahahahaah
4 jim lee cyclops!
2 full sets of man-thing wave !~ (i really want to complete the man-thing BAF)
This looks awesome! I can’t wait to get this guy!
YESSSS the unmasked head fits on the Hawkeye bod! I’M SO HAPPY. I opened this page and the first thing I did was scroll down to see if you’d done that. You did! Thank you! SO cool.
I can’t wait to make that custom. I gotta plan out what paints I wanna use, make him distinct from Heroic Age Hawkeye.
great photos the unmasked head makes bullseye look like freddy kruger. may replace my old toybiz one with this one.
Btw my favorite picture is the re-creation of your profile pic.
Oh Robes… you know I love, and I get how you toe the line, but there is a clear winner. TBML Bullseye was among the best of the line. It’s body is still used (sparingly) today. It’s beautiful. But this one knocks it out of the water. The base, the shape, the expression, the extras, the articulation, just done. People might have nostalgia, but if someone were coming in to the line, there would be no reason to recommend the old one over this unless they needed an undersized galactus leg. Love it. Can’t recommend it enough
That is how I always pose Daredevil – looking the wrong way
Love the comparison shot between the ToyBiz version and the Hasbro version. I remember that figure being the shit back in the day. Surprisingly, I don’t think the older version fares poorly against the newer version but,I think I prefer the proportions and clean iconic look of the Hasbro version.
Wow, this is one impressive Legend. This makes me regret passing up on the Red Daredevil because the Yellow and Red ain’t my thing
Gotta admit, I was shocked the TB one was as tall (slightly taller even) than the new Hasbro one. Love all the pics!
Great photos. I love the Hawkeye one.
