Good news for me. I'd like to ship DD and Riddler together.
According to a Reddit post Daredevil has been pushed back to Oct

I would be somewhat relieved if Daredevil HAS been pushed back.
I had him pre-ordered, but I also want to get Mondo's Real Ghostbusters figures and since I don't know when in Fall they're going up, I cancelled him.
With this news, I put him back on pre-order. At least with an October release, that gives me a little more time.
Kaiju Daddy has got Daredevil and comic Captain America in hand

Very excited to see more pics of these two! I've got three other Marvel Mafex figures waiting for these to show up before I ship.
Summary of Reddit post:
KD said those are store display samples, Cap is 9/25 and DD is 10/1. The store staff didn't know much about DD and was asking if he was a popular character. KD says he thought Cap is the best "look and execution" for a Marvel comic Mafex. He thought DD is closer to Nightwing in size rather Spider-Man.
He sounds impressed with Cap. I felt a little let down from the original promo pics, so I hope I agree or at least come close.
I only just placed my pre-order for Cap yesterday. He looks too good; I'd be kicking myself if I missed him.
I hate that head sculpt on Cap. I'd probably have ordered it otherwise.

I usually don't pre-order unless I think it's a figure that will sell out before or shortly after release. I didn't think demand would be too high for this Cap, but then I noticed about a month ago most Japanese retailers had already sold out of their pre-orders, so I ordered him then where I could.
I still mostly expect him to be easily available for a month or two after release, we'll see.

He looks good. I can't decide if he's enough of an upgrade over the ML 3-pack to justify the ~$80, but he looks great in his own right.
I agree that he doesn't look like a huge upgrade over the excellent ML version, but I'm glad I got an order in. DD is one of my favorite characters and this looks like another great figure. Matt's one of very few characters I don't mind having a duplicate of.
Wow, shading on him looks excellent. Not sure why, but this brings me back to picking up the original SMC Daredevil as a kid. Can't wait to get him in hand.
Mafex timelines crack me up. I was talking about this figure in this very thread over a year ago (new boards have already been around for a year?!).
Next Marvel Mafex is Nate Grey
