@@Xmanny87sorry to say kraven isn't accurate. It's not the animated series Kraven but it's based on it. They will eventually do another Kraven more accurate. Hopefully they do.
I’m strictly a comic figure collector… but this is really tempting. I never got the chance to get the previous DD, and this one looks really cool. I do have the older hydroman, so I’ll have two, but I’ll see what happens. Might have to pick this up
I’m glad to see cel shading done right and on my favorite street level marvel hero. A couple of points: making it Hasbro pulse only is annoying because they don’t deliver to where I live and the bigger sin is not doing the blue punisher against Matt. Having those two in a pack would’ve been absolutely incredible.
Hopefully, we get a Spider-man animated series 2pack: Silver Sable and Black Cat. Both in new Black widow body mold. Now that's gonna be lit for sure🔥. Though if they don't want to include Black Cat since they love random characters, maybe they could add Chameleon instead. Still gonna buy it since I need to have those two in an updated version.
I want all of that. As a huge Black Cat and Silver Sable fan, I’m dying for Black Cat and Silve Sable on a double diaphragm joint. Just note that they’ll require a new upper torso. Hopefully with more range in that area.
I ordered it and I’m so happy you reviewed this because mine isn’t here yet but I do plan on reviewing it later. I’m missed out on that three pack with daredevil so I’m glad I get another chance plus I didn’t get the first hydro man either. Also I’m even more hyped for daredevil because I recently finished all three seasons of daredevil✌️
I have my DD on hand and it feels like the butterfly shoulders were improved. They go further back now. And totally agree on a new Punisher. Best of luck on that replacement.
So dear hasbro i’ve waited and waited for a classic daredevil for a long time. Both your offerings have been a gotcha pack. How can you not offer a A list character as a single pack release? It’s ok i’ll take my money and buy the mafex. Xmanny great review as always and appreciate you laying the truth at the company’s feet.
Love your reviews dude, even if I have the stuff on order (like this one) it's such a hype builder when the items look good 😊 and I will def be scrutinizing that DD for paint mishaps. Top tier 🤙also many good points, I'd 100% buy deluxe hydro with swappable arms and water spout attachment (sandman repaint option too)
Love the review but What I need from you is to break down X-men 97. What did you think ? You're one of my favorite RUclips I like to hear talk about X-men cause you know what your talking about and I always learn something. I'm lovin it and I'm super hyped can't wait for tomorrow's episode.
We're definitely getting a VHS punisher in the next one or after. The vhs two packs follow a theme for the waves. First one was 1 villain and 1 civilian. Now i noticed its one superhero that cameod in the series and 1 villain. Punisher is absolutely coming. My bet is Punisher/Vulture two pack with his old and young heads. Then Blade and Chameleon. Wave 3 will also have a theme which i predict with 1 Spidey variant and 1 civilian. My predictions for that are Man Spider and Norman Osborn, Regular Animated Spidey on RYV body and Felecia Hardy, Battle Damaged Spidey and Eddie Brock, and finally, which i 100% think we'll see no matter what: Spider Carnage and Uncle Ben
That sucks about the missing paint on the right leg, I quickly ran over to mine to see if mine was like that too, thankfully it wasn't! But that sucks Manny!!
@@Xmanny87 you mentioned contacting Hasbro to get a replacement... I've had to do that around 7 or 8 times in my life, only ONCE were they actually able to give me the same figure that I needed replaced. Usually they give me a figure of "equal or greater value" which sometimes ended up working out in my favor, but I really just wanted a replacement for my messed up figure!!
I agree. The retro card line should be for animated and comic based figures. These "VHS" boxes are just hold overs from the plastic less packaging scam Hasbro was running. Not to mention Pulse being a big FU to the direct market in general.
Have fun! I’m jealous. I won’t be able to go but one of my close friends is going to help take some pics of new legends reveals. I’ll cover those on my channel too.
This cel-shading does look waaaay better than anything else they’ve done so far. I still won’t grab this though because I hate this buck. Hydro Man looks dope tho
The first daredevil had virtually no paint. The new one comes with A LOT of paint that only a niche group of people want. The hasbro team is going to do their best to milk as much fucking money out of daredevil before they give us a perfect classic one. Haven’t bought a legends figure since 2022 and honestly I’m nowhere near getting a new one soon. There are so many other lines actually getting right all the time. The legends team just keeps seeing how they can squeeze us for as much money as they can. Pass.
I really hope we get a lizard in this line don’t give me wrong. The retro lizard is nice but man he is way too small in my opinion. Lizard should be big and hulking not quite big, of course, but pretty big in my opinion.
I get you. They went with the more classic comic Lizard who was much smaller in size. It’s a matter of preference some liked the smaller one to be classic comic accurate. I prefer the big hulking Lizard like you do.
@@Xmanny87 hell to be honest with you i just wish they gave me a single card back of Hydro-Man. My Spider-Man cardback collection looks wonky with a bunch of his villains coming in exclusive 2 packs. I'm looking at you doc ock
Atp, I’m just waiting for Hasbro’s Marvel Legends team to finally give us some Hulk: The Animated Series Marvel Legends (also, the 2019 80th anniversary two-pack Hulk practically looks like Hulk from that animated series).
Not sure if I'll get that new DD since I already have the DD from the 3-pack which I'm already pretty happy with. That said, regardless of how people feel about the armored DD, that's still ML's best DD figure to date IMO.
They did it with crystar and this new hydro man, but im begging hasbro to do a comic classic iceman in the translucent blue, i feel like we haven’t gotten a good iceman in forever
The only way "light science" was applied to the shading on that Daredevil is if you assume the light is coming from the back. Otherwise it makes no sense to have heady shading in the central ab area and no shading on either side of that. Looks better than what they did in the past, but it's not the kind of shading you get if you assume a specific light source and apply shading in accordance with that, at least not based on figs I've seen where they were truly consistent with that.
They didn't do the three pack right, and neither this one, seems like a classic move of Hasbro, milk a lot, till next version. Probably they will do the red and yellow version, just for more pleasure, lol.
I haven't gotten this VHS pack yet, but I'll get them. But definitely the Spider-Man and Wolverine Fantastic Four 2 pack, yes, that one I really want. I could kidbash that Spider-Man in the Fantastic Four blue outfit with a Power Ranger lightning collection belt and sword man. I'll make something new. Who knows, when I get that set, I don't mind. I like it. But I have a set I'm using in my collection as Avengers Twilight issue so that Spider-Man In Blue could be something 😆.
@Xmanny87 True, but I really want a redo Superior Spider-Man figure 😩 I really want one with the Spider Devices and Spider Arms. I mean, if they reveal a 3D image at Wonder Con, I have 6 words. SHUT UP & TAKE MY MONEY!
Hasbro's gonna milk the 2 pack 3 pack to death now that they know they can over charge for them and don't even need to put in a BAF part. The BAF lines? Force collectors to buy 6 figures but 3 to 4 of them are repaints that nobody ask for.
Everybody says the cell shading on DD looks good but I am not so sure of that. What I mean is he looks good with a mix of red and black regardless and if he was a different color character, would it still be considered as good?
theres 1 way u can give the hydro man figure them arm effects just get the classic "1996 ToyBiz Marvel Spider Wars Aquatic Arsenal HYDRO-MAN 5" Action Figure" pop them arms off and u got water effects ^_^
To be honest Manny bro, I'm not feeling the match ups.... they should've went with Chameleon instead of hydroman, and blackcat (new body) instead of Dr Strange
Yeah. I’m entitled to that option as a consumer. And I said I’ll seek a replacement. Which means I’m not fully returning it for a refund. I’ll get an exchange to get a new one and send this one back.
God you're such a whiner. Who cares how they sell the figures? Two animated series lines really doesn't cause any issues unless you want it to. Are you not just happy to get the figure variety? If you want some and don't want others, at least they are available for those that do want them.
I feel an Animated Punisher with Man-Spider 2-pack would be ideal. I wouldve also accepted Kraven but we already got an Animated series Kraven
Yeah. Back when this 2 pack was revealed, I mentioned that Punisher and Man-Spider 2-Pack is what I’d want to see.
@@Xmanny87sorry to say kraven isn't accurate. It's not the animated series Kraven but it's based on it. They will eventually do another Kraven more accurate. Hopefully they do.

Gotcha. Let me know if you do and tell me if you like it or not, if you decide to get it.
This looks like a sketch out from a comic book bro
This looks more out of the Daredevil comics than the cartoons.
The hydro man figure gives me hope for an awesome Iceman figure in the future
That’s one of the few characters they can’t get right. His AOA however, was the best Iceman figure in my opinion. I love that figure.
Oooh that would be nice

Great review you’re very knowledgeable about paints and apps love the posing and this confirmed why i need to get this figure asap.

Always my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the review.
To be honest, I like DD more than Spider-Man. He gives me the feels for some reason. This cell shaded DD is the bees knees!
The cell shading is missing on one of his bees knees lol. Daredevil is awesome! We all have our favorites. 😎👊🏽
I missed out on the 3 pack so I can't wait to get this Daredevil! Like you said it reminds me so much of the Daredevil from that FF cartoon

Top tier 🤙also many good points, I'd 100% buy deluxe hydro with swappable arms and water spout attachment (sandman repaint option too)
This cell shading reminds me of the old ToyBiz paint shading. Definitely copping since I need a classic DD and never had Hydro Man lol
Good pick up for you then. I think you’ll like it a lot.
your hydroman impression had me dying 🤣

100% with that bischoff look. It looks just like him.
It really does! 😂
Another great review bro! I’m gonna have to cop this pack for sure, feels like a home run for me plus idk why but I’ve always loved hydro man haha
If it feels like that to you then you should definitely buy it. I think you’ll like it and thanks for watching.
We need a harry Osborn and vulture two pack
I need a serious update on Vulture. Sculpted feathers is a must.

Yeah but at least I made it my viewers aware now and just want to look people out.

I had no interest in this two pack till now!!! That DD is awesome!! I'm going to wonder con Anaheim this weekend cross your fingers I find one 😊
Have fun! I’m jealous. I won’t be able to go but one of my close friends is going to help take some pics of new legends reveals. I’ll cover those on my channel too.
We need a McFarlane Spidey on the RYVs body with this type of cel shading
Looks better than the previous DD, but I think I’ll wait for the Mafex DD
Understandable
6:01 Cant wait to see mondo make a spiderman the animated series DD
It’s going to look amazing! Their Spider-Man stuff so far looks stellar.
I think DD is the best cell shading we’ve ever gotten from ML. This 2-pack is super tempting, but I don’t need Hydro Man.
Cell shaded looks sick👍🙌 Daredevil is a cool character. Great review video 👍👍👏🔥
Thanks Jiggity Joy! You the best!
@Xmanny87 😊😁 hehehe Anytime!!

Sucks about the QC issue man, but if you'd feel up for it, it doesn't look too hard to repaint yourself. Could be a fun learning experience.
Maybe. But I’ll see how the replacement goes.
i wish they reused the Cannonball figure base. color it in a bluish color and gave it to hydro man as alternative water legs
Right? Don’t understand why they don’t translate that same concept over to Hydro-Man or Sandman.
@@Xmanny87 hell to be honest with you i just wish they gave me a single card back of Hydro-Man. My Spider-Man cardback collection looks wonky with a bunch of his villains coming in exclusive 2 packs. I'm looking at you doc ock
This is a win win for me.
Only been collecting for under a year, and need a daredevil and a hydroman 😀
This can easily pass a comic DD too as in most of his comics he had cross hatching like this
Absolutely 100% agree with you. It can fit in both comic or animated displays.
Atp, I’m just waiting for Hasbro’s Marvel Legends team to finally give us some Hulk: The Animated Series Marvel Legends (also, the 2019 80th anniversary two-pack Hulk practically looks like Hulk from that animated series).
Pretty sure those pants on last stand spidy are from the Disney+ Hawkeye figure as well.

Their best Iceman was AOA in my opinion.
We're actually getting Maury bench is in human form from the 90s tas Spiderman not a comic one.
I would like to have an animated Eddie Brock and Cletus Cassidy
Im wish listing a Hydro-Man, Sandman and a composite Mud Man three pack! 🙏🏼
That would be cool!

Fair enough. Thanks for watching.

I wonder if the cell shading on this DD is easy to remove
I’m wondering how many people had QC with this 2 pack because mines face was absolutely ruined with red mark directly on his nose

Just got mine out of the mail as I see this review dropped. Gonna pretend I'm reviewing it too
LOL! Enjoy the figures
incase you want to remove the cel shading on DD, it wasn’t hard for me to
I also wanted to say that those Spider-Man last stance figure, his pants are from the MCU Hawkeye just to let you know
Still a new jeans style if this is the first time it’s being used again.
@@Xmanny87 yeah it was also used for the MCU Talos from secret invasion
the cell shading is way to much on that dardevil
why does the shading stop at the lower arms and legs?
Still waiting for a single release Daredevil
As are many. Hopefully soon, my friend.
To be honest Manny bro, I'm not feeling the match ups.... they should've went with Chameleon instead of hydroman, and blackcat (new body) instead of Dr Strange
Sorry Mr. Manny it should say "I think all figures should be........"
14:21 Hasbro knows one thing when it comes to hydro man: give him the smuggest ass grin to make him look like as much as a creep as possible lmao
😂😂😂 they do understand that assignment
How do you get replacements?
You email them with a photo and explain your issue. Have your order number ready too. Their email is customerservice@hasbropulse.com
Really you going to return it cus a minor paint hardly noticeable?? I would understand if it came with two right feet or arms. But I guess.
Yeah. I’m entitled to that option as a consumer. And I said I’ll seek a replacement. Which means I’m not fully returning it for a refund. I’ll get an exchange to get a new one and send this one back.
"Marvel legends hydroman vs daredevil" would have been sufficient enough as a title 😅
Bro! Thank you for letting me know. For some reason it recognized the file name I had it on my computer. So now I corrected it. lol.
@Xmanny87 no worries dude!
I think I'll figure should be solo carded and then the doubles be like $5 less then everyone gets what they want
It would be nice but that’s just not how they run business unfortunately
It’s funny how hasbro put dd in a 3pk then a 2pk 2 years later so are we gonna get a single release one in 2026?
LOL! Looks like the current trajectory
TWA-CYPDIG
{this was amazing, can you please do it again}

I won’t be able to as they’ll ask for this one back as part of the process.
