Marvel Legends Daredevil Hobgoblin BAF


I ordered Daredevil from the new Hobgoblin Build a Figure series from Dorksidetoys.com in the states as I thought I'd be waiting a while to see these guys in the UK, and yep, still not seen them here.

Like I said, this is from the Hobgoblin BAF wave but I won't be finishing the Hobgoblin. I have pizza eating Spidey and now Daredevil. If I come across Spider-Man 2099 in the wild here then I'll pick him up, but I'm not too interested in the other figures. Daredevil comes with the right arm of Hobgoblin and one of his pumpkin bombs


The only accessories Daredevil comes with are his two billy clubs which are nicely sculpted but are made out of a really soft gummy plastic which I don't love, but they're good for what they're for. They also clip together but they don't become long enough for Matt Murdock's cane, so I'll be keeping them separated.


They also sit nicely in his holster on his hip, which sadly keeps riding down but again, not the end of the world


The gummy clubs and slightly loose holster aren't the end of the world because this figure really is great. The paint apps are nice and clean with a nice dark read for the majority of the suit and a great looking lighter red for his boots, gloves, DD on his chest and eyes.


I specifically like the paint colour Hasbro used for the flesh tones on Daredevil's face, I think it's a really natural looking colour and it's applied cleanly


Articulation wise, Daredevil's head is on a ball joint so he can look left and right and up and down. His shoulders are hinged and on a ball joint so they can move up and down and outwards, the elbows have a double joint, and his hands swivel and bend up and down.

He has a torso crunch meaning he can move back and forth a little, he has a waist swivel, hip joints, thigh swivels, double jointed knees, boot swivel, foot articulation and ankle pivot.


I completely recommend this figure, he's an excellent Daredevil figure and a great addition to my Avengers team.


Go Figure!

Marvel Legends Inifnite Series Spider-Man Build a Figure Hobgoblin Wave


Several reasons why I wanted to pick this figure up: One, this is a seriously cool looking comic accurate Spidey; two, it comes with a half masked head sculpt - awesome!; three, PIZZA. Spidey comes with a slice. I really don't know why, but it's freaking brilliant.


Spider-Man also comes with Hobgoblin's leg for the BAF


Spidey gets extra hands, web thwipping hands, clenched fists, and wall crawling hands


And as mentioned, you get his half masked face.


Out of packaging this Spider-Man is a really nice figure. The paint is really pretty neat although I've heard some complaints about sloppy paint applications, especially round the eyes, but thankfully my figure is really quite neat.


The half masked head is a really nice sculpt and the paint is a really nice flesh tone, and thankfully it means he can eat his 'za! The wall crawling hands hold the slice perfectly, with the cheese running down in between fingers.


Articulation is really pretty good on this guy. His head is on a ball and hinge joint, the shoulders have an armpit type swivel joint and there's a hinge letting his arm move up and down, there's a bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, and his wrists swivel and bend.


Spidey has a torso crunch, waist swivel, hip swivel, legs moves forward and back, he has thigh rotation, double jointed knees ankle articulation and pivot. All in all, it makes for a really nice piece.

It's such great fun to pose this guy, and best of all, you can get Spider-Man into a handstand, which is incredibly cool.


And here he is with Figma Amazing Spider-Man, Marvel Legends Amazing Spider-Man 2 Spidey, and Marvel Legends Superior Spider-Man.


If you're a Spider-Man or Marvel Legends fan I recommend picking this guy up.
