MAFEX Marvel Figures

Hmm wow that is like exactly what I want from ML on the Vulcan body. And alternate heads like this vs doing the 1 stoic face they do every. single. time.

BBTS has DD up with some static/museum shots.   I think he looks really good.  A bit on the skinny side, but so much range with those butterfly joints.   

I'm not 100 percent sold on him yet, but I imagine I'll end up getting him unless Hasbro bangs out new/improved version.  That last one from the 3 pack was really close to being the definitive DD IMO.

Gorgeous. Strange that I have a small amount of faith in Medicom's projected Sept. 2024 release date?

He's up at HLJ and AmiAmi already.

Yeah, DD isn't blowing me away as much as I thought he would. He seems really gangly! I wish they'd gone with metallic red/silver on the billy clubs as well, instead of all white.

DD was always the one Marvel figure I really wanted Mafex to do but this one isn't doing it for me. The proportions look weird -- the legs and (especially) the arms look skinny, and the head looks a bit big. I'd probably be more excited for it if not for the ML three-pack figure, which is nearly perfect (and would be perfect with a shoulder swap).

Daredevil looks too scrawny.  

I do wish the arm articulation could be more cleaned up, but I guess that's just how Mafex designs them.

I think DD looks good, he usually has a athletic build. hes not the buff type. the legends version has weird narrow shoulders

I like him. I'm okay with a slim DD.  But the faces... I think that's what stopping me from loving it. Not sure what it is.. they hit okay from some angles but in others he looks a little nerdy. In hand, though, I don't think I'll be able to put him down. Excited, day 1 preorder for me. I'm sure I'll love him two years from now, when he finally arrives. 

I'm surprised the DD reaction has been mixed. He's a bit skinny, but I've never pictured Matt as a brawler. I think of him as a ninja/acrobat-type. He doesn't really even have superpowers.

The proportions look fine to me, though I'll mostly display him with his limbs obscured anyway:

Yeah, after letting it set it and checking the pics out again a few times, I went ahead and ordered this guy.  I think he looks great, and will go well with the Mafex Spidey and Wolvie on my shelf.

My hope is that they do a Zeck style Punisher next, and that he is not underscaled!   Don't "Thor" Frank Medicom!

Not untrue. Need something in between the two. 

I've come around as well.  I'm not bothered by the shoulders or screaming head as I expressed yesterday; that head looks great.  The shoulders are just unfortunate posing with the wrong camera angles, and I realized last night many Mafex figures would look the same as DD does in the promos if posed like that and photographed from the same angles.

I didn't really pay attention to the Daredevil's body type until I made my post yesterday, but I don't mind it. With him doing parkour and acrobatics, it makes a little sense. At least, that's how I tried to justify it. I went ahead and ordered him from BBTS.

And a Mike Zeck Punisher would RULE! I just hope it won't be another Winter Soldier situation.

I don't hate it, but that voice in my head is asking me why I'd want to get it when I have the three-pack version already.

I like the luxurious import toy smell.  

Made from the richest forms of ABS and PVC plastic.

Preordered immediately.
