Nice pictures Brainiac!
Based on the mostly lukewarm reviews on this figure (a few by reviewers who are hardcore DD fans), i am strongly considering cancelling my pre-order in the hopes that there will be a more appealing costume design for season 3, and if so, Hot Toys will produce a second version with that new uniform. As a few of the reviews have pointed out, the scale and proportions of this figure concern me as well. I don't know... This was a figure I was initially really excited about, but not so much now. I believe season 3 begins filming next month, so hopefully some screen leaks are posted online revealing a new costume design.
Still thinking of dumping my $50 International Code on him, just to have a Netflix Daredevil in the collection.
(Another exercise in team building).
If youre still thinking about it now, just do it. Sounds like youve made your decision already about getting him.

There's only a few pose options available due to the fit of the suit, like this simple one which works well.
Articulation is fine, the suit is nowhere near as restrictive as ones on other figures such as Ant-Man or Nolan Batman.
Restriction isn't the problem, but the way the suit fits, wrinkles and bags.
Only a few poses make it look good by pulling out the wrinkles.
God, this turned out awful.
Money saved.
Some of the pictures here clearly show that you can make this figure look good even in a basic standing pose. But you have to do some minor futzing.
It's one of those figures that I feel I ought to have, but not one I really want. A bit like Drax.
There's only been a few photos where the HT Daredevil doesn't look like a frumpy muppet.
Platty got a good image of him:

I'm a fan of the Frank Miller DD run in the comics and I think the show captured the spirit of that extremely well. This is the MCU Daredevil and there is no other character in the MCU anything like him. They clearly didn't hit a home run with this figure, but I also don't think it's a bad figure at all. If you like the show, and/or like the character in the comics I think this is a must have. I'm looking forward to getting him.It's one of those figures that I feel I ought to have, but not one I really want.
Jedi, don't preach.Looks good to me. Keeping my preorder.
Oooo I'm gonna keep my preorder!
