Marvel Legends Marvel Knights 2017 Wave: Daredevil

Now…normally, we like to bring you these figures in waves wherever we can.  Hasbro surprised the heck out of us though, with a fantastic bag of great toys as a thank you for attending their NYCC 2017 event.  One of the great items in that bag, Marvel Knights Wave Daredevil!  In this wave, Hasbro addresses a solid chunk of the Netflix Marvel characters, and they do so with incredible faithfulness to character likeness.  But, is this Daredevil really the bees knees?  I’d suggest yes…but ultimately, I got to say “Bees knees”, so I win either way.

The Good

  • Exceptional Charlie Cox likeness is featured on the lower half of Daredevil’s face.  The technology Hasbro is using to create and design is at this point, hilariously good.
  • Costume is captured perfectly and in shocking detail, texture is present all over the place on this figure and it gives it a premium feel well north of it’s $19.99 price tag.
  • Included billy club fits perfect in DDs hand, and combines easily.  It stays connected snuggly, but also comes apart with little effort.
  • DD includes an alt set of fighty fist hands, good for punching other figures.  
  • The paint application here is fine point.  I didn’t see any stray lines, there is a ton of sharp detail all over.
  • Back to the textures, there is so much going on with this character, armor texture, leather texture, everything is spot on here.
  • Articulation is solid featuring all of the modern points, I think the only thing not included is the butterfly chest joints.

The Bad

  • If ever a figure screamed for an alternate unmasked head…

 

The Rest

Daredevil did here what he did on Netflix, jumped the line and blew the doors off the building with awesome.  We are hoping and looking forward to reviewing the whole Marvel Knights Marvel Legends figure wave for you in the near future, but for now, Daredevil really steals the show all by himself.  This figure is just so faithful to the source material it’s crazy.  Probably going to need a Marvel Knights wave 2 though, for Luke Cage, Iron Fist…and hey, maybe Moon Knight.  I can wish, can’t I?

Magic Box: Lightseekers Starter Pack Tyrax

Magic Box: Lightseekers Starter Pack Tyrax

Magic Box: Lightseekers Starter Pack Tyrax

What is Lightseekers?  You know how there are all these Toys To Life games out there, where you take the toy and you put it on a base, and that toy comes to life in the game, but then you sit on your couch and play the game, mostly like any other game?  Those games are fun, we are big fans, but this game is different.  What if you could take those toys, and move them around in the real world instead of using a video game controller?  Wouldn’t that be really cool?  That’s Lightseekers!  

 

Lightseekers is just getting started, you can pick up two starter packs, and each character in the different starter pack is available without the starter pack.  You can also pick up weapon and backpack accessories, and the best news, there are a ton more Lightseekers on the way!

Lightseekers Starter Pack Tyrax

  • The Lightseekers Starter Pack Tyrax, and all of the Lightseekers are avaiable on Amazon today!
  • The Lightseekers starter pack includes:
    • The Tyrax character (also available as starter, Mari) It should be noted, Tyrax and Mari are the race of character, the Tyrax character’s name is Jax, and Mari’s race is Kora.
    • Fusion Core
    • 1 Weapon
    • 6 AR Cards
  • Lightseekers connect with your mobile device over bluetooth using the Fusion Core piece that you put in their back.
  • This fusion core piece requires that it is charged (using micro USB).  Once charged, plug it into the back of the character, open the app, and pairing couldn’t be more simple, you just click the character and go.
  • The Lightseekers action figures really are a sight to behold, sturdy, brightly colored, well articulated, and incredibly well designed.  These characters just ooze with a look of “I have to know more!”
  • The Lightseekers game is a ton of fun with a bunch of great modes.  
    • Adventure Game is a traditional objective based story mode where you interact with the Lightseekers world using your character to advance the story.  Tons of great RPG elements here, and tons of great ways to upgrade your character, keep reading.
    • Action Games – jump right in and play your favorite style of game, fighting, flying, coin collecting in different environments!  Some of these games require a figure, others do not.
  • Speaking of…Lightseekers is playable without the companion toys…but SO MUCH Cooler with them!
  • In addition to the character / avatar for Lightseekers, there are 350 cards to collect, all can be scanned into the game for in game items, bonuses, buffs, etc…
  • You can also collect accessories for your action figure, connect them to your action figure, and they will be present in the game…like jetpacks!
  • Gameplay is fun and engaging across all modes, and absolutely enhanced when using your Lightseekers figure as your controller.
  • Even more fun?  Well, you can play 2-player! 2 real world action figures duking it out on your mobile device!
  • This game is beautiful, using an art style that is both unique and familiar.
