The Handstand without Fear

I love me some Daredevil and have felt, with the possible exception of the Vet figure from Sinister, that they have never done Matt Murdock justice. Until now apparently.

At first glance the dial isn't too exciting: I think two clicks of 8 attack at the end are a bit harsh, but the Exploit Weakness is nice and the defence should be suitably frustrating for an opponent. What makes him, though, is the white power. Assuming it hasn't changed too much from the spoiled version, this will grant him Leap/Climb and the ability to see Stealthed characters. To me, this makes him a pretty darn accurate representation of DD - shame that first click doesn't have Ouwit or even Perplex though. Perhaps I'm being greedy.

And I like the sculpt a lot - even more than the oh-so atmospheric cross-hugger we were given a few years ago.

  1. im a litle disapointed with this, when we heard about the sp ages ago i expected big things, but its only use is to shoot people with it using his 4 range,until he gets outwit and even then he might not be around long enough to use it

    i dont think he gets in my sealed team

  2. Again if Vet Iron Fist gets 12 AV then DD deserves the same love.

    Agree with Elliott - Not 100% sold here - but 18 DV with SS is tasty (and the sculpt rules)
