I don't dislike DD but I think, like a handful of other characters, could be improved though.<br /><br />Thanks for reading. Purchasing links? Yeah, sorry if I'm short on those--I try to include links to Amazon from time to time but it screws up my formatting somehow. But I'll definitely include them when I can.

Aside from the over-obvious joints Toybiz was so fond of, it is a superior execution of ol' Hornhead. Also, it came with a thigh holster for the Billy clubs, a base and flexible stand, some BFG that fired walking canes or something and game cards for the SHS game. Much more value...<br /><br />You also forgot to mention that MU DD is too short compared with the others. Ideally, he should be roughly the height and build of Iron Fist or Spidey who have stood in for him in the comics.<br /><br />Time to work on a custom that marries the best of both! Nothing like the application of a little Murphy's Law to get Hasbro to reissue DD with a better sculpt/buck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-50898421893272744202011-05-09T22:51:59.631+08:002011-05-09T22:51:59.631+08:00Haha, excellent answer! ;)Haha, excellent answer! ;)SirDragonBanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061860978530022895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-11793975488993887452011-05-09T16:07:23.184+08:002011-05-09T16:07:23.184+08:00Heh, the yellow Daredevil?

As you say, improvements could be made but without them it's not the end of the world. I have yellow DD, Moon Knight and a carded Union Jack myself.

But he'd easily be in the upper 8s if they gave him a sleeker body. I have to say that as portly as this buck looks, it's actually just as flexible as the Surfer/Human Torch body and more poseable than the Black Spidey/Archangel body.<br /><br />Funny, I've actually got Union Jack lined up for review too--and I actually like the figure! ;P<br /><br />As for the SHS Darevil, perhaps the Rangerlord can chime in? He's got every Daredevil ever made, you see (or at least I think he does--cuz no one lse wants 'em! :P)<br /><br />@The Rebel - Yes, the yellow one's the same body. How can you stand all those red slashes all ove, though? ;)SirDragonBanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061860978530022895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-41692204950927194722011-05-07T09:27:51.542+08:002011-05-07T09:27:51.542+08:00Nice review on a 'classic' figure!

Figures like DD and Union Jack desperately need a re-work. I'd love to track down the SHS Daredevil, he's much more in line with how a 4 inch DD should look.<br /><br />http://tvandfilmtoys.com/index.php/2010/11/retro-review-daredevil-marvel-superhero-showdown/Meangreennoreply@blogger.com
