Marvel Legends Daredevil: Born Again Figure – Is It the Best Daredevil Release Yet?

Right, folks, gather round because we’ve got some proper toy news to dissect! Hasbro has just dropped the Marvel Legends Daredevil: Born Again figure, and I’ve got thoughts. Big ones. If you’ve been following the leaks and whispers in the toy-collecting alleys (also known as Reddit and Instagram), you’ll know that this one has been on the radar for a while. Now that we’ve got official images, it’s time to break down what we’re getting—and whether this is a must-have or a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of release.

Marvel Legends Born Again Daredevil – What’s the Verdict?

From what we can see, Hasbro is going all in on screen accuracy for this one. The suit matches up with what we’ve glimpsed in set photos and promo material for Daredevil: Born Again, and while it’s a far cry from the classic red look, it definitely gives off that street-level hero vibe. The sculpting looks sharp, and the texture on the suit adds some nice depth. The figure comes with multiple accessories, including his signature batons (because what’s Daredevil without his trusty sticks?). No alternate head, though, which has left some collectors muttering under their breath.

The articulation appears to be what you’d expect from a modern Marvel Legends figure, so if you want to recreate some rooftop parkour poses, you should be in good shape. That said, the real question is…

Daredevil Born Again – How Accurate is the Marvel Legends Figure?

Now, let’s be honest—accuracy is a slippery slope when it comes to Marvel Legends. Sometimes, Hasbro nails it (see their recent Marvel Legends Maximum Series Spider-Man), and sometimes, well, they don’t (see half of the MCU figures with weird head sculpts).

This Daredevil seems to be pretty spot-on with the new show’s design. The colours are muted, much like the Netflix suit but with a more tactical feel. Speaking of which…

Marvel Legends Born Again Daredevil vs. Netflix Daredevil – What’s Different?

Comparing this new Daredevil to the old Netflix Marvel Legends Daredevil, a few things stand out:

• Suit Design – The Netflix version had a more padded, almost armour-like look. This one leans more into a streamlined, fabric-heavy aesthetic.
• Colour Scheme – The Netflix Daredevil was black and dark red; this one appears to be fully in the black/grey zone.
• Sculpt & Articulation – It’s likely that Hasbro has refined some articulation here (at least, we hope so), but we won’t know for sure until it’s in hand.

The biggest miss for fans? No unmasked Charlie Cox head sculpt. The Netflix figure had one, and fans have been vocal about wanting it here, too.

Where to Buy Marvel Legends Daredevil Born Again Figure & Release Date

If you’re looking to grab this figure, here’s what you need to know:

Now, where does this new Hasbro Daredevil Born Again Marvel Legends figure land in the grand scheme of things? Too soon to say, but here’s my quick ranking of some of the best Daredevil Marvel Legends figures out there:

Complete Checklist of Marvel Legends Daredevil Figures

If you’re new to collecting Daredevil figures, you might be wondering how deep the rabbit hole goes. Spoiler: Pretty deep. From ToyBiz days to Hasbro’s latest, Daredevil has had a solid lineup over the years. A proper complete checklist of Marvel Legends Daredevil figures would take a full post (and maybe I’ll do one), but here are the essentials:

• Classic Red Suit (multiple versions)
• Yellow & Brown First Appearance
• Shadowland Suit
• Netflix Daredevil
• This new Born Again version

Daredevil: Born Again – The Story Behind the Series

Now, before you hit pre-order, let’s talk about the show that inspired this figure. Daredevil: Born Again is set to reboot Matt Murdock’s story in the MCU, bringing back Charlie Cox but with a new take on the character. While the name comes from Frank Miller’s legendary Born Again storyline, don’t expect a direct adaptation—it’s more of a fresh start, tying Daredevil into the wider MCU and Wilson Fisk’s political rise in New York.

The original Born Again comic is a brutal, gritty tale that sees Daredevil lose everything at the hands of the Kingpin. It’s one of the defining Daredevil arcs, and while the show likely won’t follow it panel for panel, there’s a chance we’ll see elements creep in.

Final Thoughts – Is This the Best Daredevil Marvel Legends Figure of 2025?

From what I’ve seen, this is a solid release. If you’re a Daredevil fan, it’s an easy buy—especially if you’re into the MCU versions of characters. If you prefer comic-accurate figures, though, you might be holding out for the next retro carded re-release (because let’s be real, Hasbro will do one eventually).
