Marvel has done an admirable job of building it's Netflix universe, including the one that started it all Daredevil. Still, there are some who prefer the classic comics version, and Hasbro has a new SDCC exclusive just for them.
The new Daredevil figure is part of Hasbro's popular Marvel Legends line and will be available exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con this year (via Yahoo). Daredevil is part of the larger sized 12-inch Legends line and will come with all the articulation you expect from the smaller figures. This version is in the classic all red costume from the comics and will include an alternate portrait (showing a beat up unmasked Matt Murdock), an alternate mask, two swappable gloved hands for his billy clubs, and another set of hands and lower arms with bandages in place of gloves. The exclusive figure will also feature artwork on the box from Joe Quesada and will include poster versions of the art in the box as well. The box even includes Braille on the back.
Daredevil will retail for $59.99 at Hasbro's booth from July 20 to 23. You can see the figure up-close in the gallery, and if you can't make it to the show there will be some limited figures available on Hasbro's website.
Other exclusives include a Star Wars: The Black Series X-34 Landspeeder with 6-inch Luke Skywalker for $89.99, and a Star Wars: The Black Series 6-Inch Grand Admiral Thrawn for $49.99. Both have been released on the retail market, but these versions will include extra bells and whistles, including a pop-up hood and extra detailing for the landspeeder and extra accessories for Thrawn. Both of these will be available at the Hasbro booth as well.
Daredevil will next be seen in The Defenders, which will bring phase one of the Netflix Marvel universe to a close, and will likely set up the next big phase of the universe. In addition to the core four shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist), the universe will also be adding a Punisher series to its schedule, though no release date has been announced.
Daredevil seasons 1 and 2, Jessica Jones season 1, Luke Cage season 1, and Iron Fist season 1 are all available on Netflix now. The Defenders expected later in the year. The Punisher does not have a release date yet, and Netflix and Marvel have also announced a second season for Jessica Jones and a third season for Daredevil, but neither has a release date.
