Mattel Secret Wars - Daredevil

Got this guy cheap on the bay and considering how rough these Daredevils usually look ,this one's not that bad.If you weren't aware,this particular figure's paint has been known to run,some call it bleeding because of the color.You can't tell from the pic but mine has lighter shaded arms and legs that faded over time.Do not ,i repeat do not try to take a wet rag to your Secret Wars Daredevil figure .It will actually begin to rub off.I find it strange that this is ,presumably,the only figure in the line that does this.On the positive side,he still has the majority of his DD emblem.

Here is my collection as it stands now.

    Oh man... these look awesome displayed together. Although I don't anticipate ever adding DD to my collection, that's good information you gave in this post. Can you imagine finding this figure at the flea market, taking it home, and destroying it on accident while trying to clean it off? I'd be devastated.

      Fuji,you should have seen my face when i saw a little bit of DD's red paint on the paper towel i was using to clean him,lol!I immediately aborted all attempts to wash him clean and left him as is.

    Good grouping!You just gave me a flashback of playing darts in the bar back in my wilder days.Secret Wars still rocks today,Colin,evidently with the mini bobble heads and jumbo releases.A solid line. Just DON'T GET THEM WET!!!

    Very nice! We own this Daredevil, which we found at the flea market years ago but it is in bad shape. Still own many of my original Secret Wars figures.

      Nice,Kim!Marvel based figures were slim pickings back in the early 80s so these were gold in our hands back then.

      Indeed! And sadly they were hard to find in Canada.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

Recent Pick Up!

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
