ACTION FIGURES

Marvel Super Heroes Marx Toys 1966

Daredevil (#?) 6" (15.2cm) plastic daredevil figure orig. retail: 3 for $1.25 (grey figures in marvel comics circa 1966) I've been told that these figures originally came out in "silver" or grey and were available through the MMMS (Merry Marvel Marching Society). However, within a fairly short time, they were licensed to Marx Toys and were released in red, blue, green, grey, and orange. The original silver figures did not have the Marx stamp imprinted on the bottom of the characters and are fairly rare. The set also included Capt. America, the Hulk, Iron Man, Spidey, and Thor. The Marx molds were also used again many years later in Mexico to produce more figures. I'd love to hear from anyone with info on how to tell the difference between the earlier Marx figures and the later Mexican productions.

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars Mattel 1984

	Daredevil and his Secret Shield (#9140) ?" figure (with billy club, shield and prismatic inserts) orig. retail: $?.?? It's been reported that the painted on face can fade on these (even if they're kept in the packaging), and that the arms and legs can become a darker shade than the body. I've included one example of the prismatic inserts to the right - the top image changes to the bottom image depending on the angle you hold the shield.

These figures were designed to be sold in a vending machine for £1 each in the United Kingdom. The figures were inside the egg, so you didn't know which one you would get until you opened your egg. There were six figures in all (Dr. Doom, Spidey, the Hulk, Thor, the Punisher, and DD) with plans to have more in the future.

Marvel Milestones Toy Biz 1998

Daredevil (#48265) 8" (20.5cm) figure (with fabric costume) orig. retail: $?.?? One of the neat things with these "Mego-like" figures, is the ability to adjust the costumes or even have diff. superheros wear each other's costumes. Long time fan & sometimes contributor to the Resource sent some fashion adjustments in for us all to enjoy. Click here to see his contribution to Superhero fashion. (I'm not quite sure this is what Toy Biz had in mind, Adam...)

Spider-Man Classics (Series II) Toy Biz 2001

Daredevil - red version (#47083) 6" (15cm) figure with 30 (yes, 30!) points of articulation, reprint comic, and a display stand. sculpted by ? orig. retail: $7.95 THE most posable DD figure ever released, WITH a display stand and comic reprint, and for one of the most affordable prices of any DD figure to come out in a long time. The figure also includes removable billy clubs and holster on DD's hip to store them in!

Daredevil - yellow version (#47083) 6" (15cm) figure identical to red figure above except for the color. Also comes with display stand and reprint comic. Even the item number is identical, although the bubble pack is slightly different on the top half. sculpted by ? orig. retail: $7.95 This figure, or this version I should say, has seen more than a little controversy. It was made available only 1 in 42 cases of figures. Speculators went wild immediately, completely destroying the market for regular collectors. The price skyrocketed to around $100 almost immediately on Ebay, and there were reports of employees at toy stores and chains scooping up the figures before they even hit the shelves to sell them on Ebay rather than selling them for the $7.95 retail price. In an even more interesting turn of events, a number of Phillipine toy retailers were able to acquire disproportionate numbers of the yellow figure directly from the ToyBiz warehouses in the summer of 2002. Immediately the Ebay market was flooded with the yellow version, and the price dropped down to the $20 range for a few months. Where it'll settle, who knows?

Spider-Man Classics (Series III) Toy Biz 2003

Daredevil - movie version (#70144/#70155) 6" (15cm) figure with 30? points of articulation, reprint comic, and a display stand. sculpted by ? orig. retail: $?.?? This figure comes in two variations. The first variation (#70144) comes with blue stained glass windows (same as series II figures), a different head sculpt (thinner/more sunken face), and is clean-shaven. The second variation (#70155) has red stained glass, stubble, and a wider face - supposedly this version more closely resembles Affleck.

Marvel Studios 12" Collector's Editions Toy Biz 2003

Daredevil (#?) 12" (30.5cm) figure with DD movie style costume orig. retail: $41.99 Oops! On the back of the box, there is some text describing Daredevil that ends with "...a relentless avenger of justice: Davedevil, the Man Without Fear!" That's right, I said DAVEdevil. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone ever checks these items before they're produced. As to the quality of the figure itself -- incredible. This is easily one of the nicest action figures I've ever seen. The level of detail. The posability. I'm not a big fan of the "movie" costume, but I can ignore it when the quality is so high.

Marvel Figuras de Colección Spain 2004

Daredevil 2" (5cm) lead figure. sculpted by ? orig. retail: $?.?? According to the seller on ebay, these are hand-painted and only available from Spain. I'm not sure what other characters are available in this set, but the seller said that the Daredevil figures were packaged along with Green Goblin figures.
