First up is Netflix Daredevil!

Marvel Legends Netflix Daredevil Photo Shoots - The Toyark - News

[ddarko]

Hi face in the cover photo for the album looked funny lol. But from rest of the pics, it actually looks pretty nice! The entire figure looks nice actually.

[Weapon X]

Think I'm gonna get these when they're cheap later on. Just not retail-price-worthy for me.

[Chopper Face]

Mine arrived two days ago and it sold on eBay last night. I was just not impressed. That facial expression is too goofy. Yeah Charlie Cox has some pretty big fish lips but my Daredevil was giving me a a derpy smile from inside the box therefore he had to go. Guess I'll be selling off Punisher when he shows up too. Mezco it is then.

I've really been looking forward to a Netflix DD figure, but I may be the only one that wanted the Black suit Season 1 look. I know it's a simple design, but I really like it. This one is cool, but I agree about the expression, it's not the best. Overall though, seems like a cool figure.

[GizmoTron]

I actually just bought Daredevil, and my first impression is that people are going to be turned off by that head/face sculpt. That may just be the limitations of a Marvel Legends sculpt, though.

I also wanted the Dread Pirate Roberts version.

[Ebonyleopard]

I'm surprised Daredevil doesn't have a Matt Murdock head.

The Punisher is up next.

"Short printed"? Is that the rumor going around about these? Because it doesn't seem like these will be too hard to find.

[Dr Kain]

Um, I'm sorry, but how can you say there are no cons with Punisher when your figure clearly has an issue with his left eye? He looks like Le Chiffre from Casino Royale.

Didn't you take points away from the Icons line for bad eye paint jobs?

Hasbro was smart enough to make Punisher two per case. Usually they're pretty stupid about which figures they pick (or rather don't) to get over-packed.

Two different people dude.

[Dolemite]

Nonetheless, Dr. Kain's point stands. Listing the figure as having "no cons" and "great deco" when it looks like one of the eyes was burned out with a hot fireplace poker defeats the point of even doing a review. If I was reviewing a car that didn't start, I wouldn't say "who cares, I'll just return it and get another car."

Regardless, nice photo shoot. Looking forward to seeing pics of the Man-Thing BAF.

Glad to hear. They also packed Ragnarok Loki two to a case as well, for which my girlfriend is overjoyed.

BTW, I have to ask, En Sabah...you don't appear to be a mod or staff here (unless I'm mistaken), so who the heck are you? You seem to know everything. Do you work in the industry or something? HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THESE THINGS

Dr. Kain may have a point, but he never has anything good to say....ever! I imagine if he does reviews, it'll be all cons regardless what the figure is lol No lie, he looks for the bad in everything! You've seen the posts, you've been on here long enough.

Um, what?

First off, I do reviews. I have a Youtube channel where I review Kaiju movies, horror movies, and Toku shows.

Secondly, if you think I only say negative things, then you clearly ignore the vast majority ofmy posts. Yes, I will say negative things, but I also praise things when they are praise worthy. Bullseye, for example, is amazing. Blade is a great, but flawed figure. Dark Phoenix is one of the most badass, phenomenal Marvel Legends in the entire series. The Cyclops that came with her is also amazing.

Yeah, he's certainly one grouchy, crotchety dude for sure.

He's still right about the Punisher review, however. And after looking on ebay, it seems that A LOT of these Netflix Punishers have jacked-up eyes.

[Dr Kain]

How am I grouchy? Because I post my feelings whether they are positive or negative? Also, it seems like you are intentionally reading my posts as groucy even when I'm not being grouchy. There was nothing grouchy at all in my questioning why the eye is not listed as a con.

Wear it like a shield and nobody will be able to hurt you with it.

See? Grouchy. And that's after I said you were right!

Which is a good thing, too, because when I saw him yesterday I noticed one of the two Lokis was a bit better with the face paint.

No I am not a mod or staff member of the Toyark. I am the eternal, the seven lights, the undying horizon, I am APOCALYPSE!
Seriously though I'm just an enthusiastic fan with a solid retention of a lot of stuff I read about the hobby. Star Wars was my first big gateway into actually collecting toys and there are of course many different articles and even published books explaining how the industry blossomed. Honestly I picked up a ton of stuff by following Randy from NECA, Entertainment Earth, BBTS, and Toyark itself on Twitter. When consumers ask questions and they actually get responses I am able to piece together parts of the larger image regarding the whole process of getting figures made. One can learn a lot by being a fly on the wall.
