Born Again 6-Inch Action Figure – Hell’s Kitchen Just Got Real
I’ve been waiting to talk about this one.
Daredevil has always been one of Marvel’s most layered, gritty, street-level heroes, and Hasbro’s latest 6-inch Marvel Legends figure based on his Born Again Disney+ appearance is something that caught my eye the second it was revealed. This is one of those releases that’s going to split the collecting crowd—comic purists on one side, MCU diehards on the other—but I’m here to say: this figure works, and it deserves a spot on your shelf.
If you’re collecting the Born Again wave or you’re just a fan of Daredevil finally getting the spotlight he deserves in the MCU, this one’s for you. Let’s break it all down.
Character Overview: Daredevil, the Man Without Fear
First off, let’s talk about the character. Matt Murdock is unlike any other Marvel hero—and that’s saying something. A blind lawyer by day, and a bone-breaking vigilante by night, Daredevil walks the line between justice and vengeance better than most. And he does it without billion-dollar armor or god-like powers.
- First appeared in Daredevil #1 (1964), created by Stan Lee and Bill Everett.
- His powers? Heightened senses after being blinded by radioactive material as a child.
- His storylines often explore Catholic guilt, justice, trauma, and corruption.
- Frank Miller’s Born Again arc redefined Daredevil as a gritty, psychological character.
- Netflix’s Daredevil series reintroduced him to modern audiences with brutal realism.
- And now he’s back—officially—in the MCU’s Born Again series, portrayed once again by Charlie Cox.
This figure isn’t just a new suit. It’s a symbol of Daredevil’s full return to center stage in Marvel’s live-action universe.
Toy Description: Hasbro’s New Take on a Gritty Icon
Hasbro’s Marvel Legends line has had a few shots at Daredevil over the years—some comic-accurate, some Netflix-inspired—but this version stands out as a sleek, modern hybrid that draws on the Born Again Disney+ aesthetic while staying true to the character’s roots.
Design & Sculpt
The figure sports the new Born Again costume: a sleeker, darker tone of red (bordering on crimson), with a slightly armored look that gives it real-world functionality without overdoing it.
- No bright red spandex here—this suit looks like something a man would actually wear while taking beatings in back alleys.
- The sculpted detailing on the torso and limbs suggests reinforced fabric—think urban combat gear, not cosplay.
- The “DD” emblem is subtle, not oversized. It’s there, but it doesn’t scream “superhero.” It whispers “vigilante.”
The mask sculpt is particularly sharp—clean horns, defined cheekbones, and a stern expression that reads perfectly in any pose. The unmasked head? Optional here, but hopefully we see it pop up in a future release or as a pack-in.
Articulation
You already know what to expect from the Marvel Legends buck, and this one delivers:
- Butterfly shoulders for double baton stances.
- Double-jointed elbows and knees for crouching on rooftops or delivering those signature Daredevil kicks.
- Ab crunch and waist swivel for high-dynamic posing.
- Rocker ankles for those one-legged, mid-fight stances.
- Bicep and thigh swivels for full movement range.
He’s got the range you need to pose him mid-fight, crouched in the rain, or standing tall next to Spider-Man or Moon Knight. And that matters. Daredevil isn’t a flashy power-blaster—he’s a brawler, and his figure has to move like one.
Accessories
Not overloaded, but the essentials are here:
- Two billy clubs – Can be joined together or wielded separately.
- Swappable hands – Open palms and baton-gripping fists.
- No throwing baton effect or rope dart, unfortunately—but if you’ve collected Legends long enough, you’ve probably got one of those from a previous release to swap in.
Would I love a rooftop base or some rain effects? Of course. But for a standard Legends release, this loadout gets the job done.
Availability & Price

This isn’t a retailer exclusive, so it should hit wider markets—but with the MCU buzz around Born Again, expect it to move quickly. Charlie Cox’s Daredevil has a fan base. And this is the first figure to officially represent that new chapter.
Final Verdict: Should You Add This Daredevil to Your Collection?
- If you’re a MCU collector, this is your new Phase 5 Daredevil.
- If you’re a comic fan, it still respects the core aesthetic.
- If you’re looking to build out a Marvel Knights display, this fits beautifully alongside Punisher, Moon Knight, and Blade.
This isn’t a deluxe. It doesn’t come with rooftop gargoyles or busted alley walls. But it doesn’t need to. It’s Daredevil—lean, focused, no-nonsense.
And in a world of over-stuffed releases and reused sculpts, this figure feels fresh, faithful, and necessary.
Closing Thoughts
Daredevil doesn’t need a cape. He doesn’t need superpowers that light up the sky. What he brings to the Marvel universe—and what this figure captures—is grit, skill, and street-level justice.
Hasbro nailed it here. The sculpt is clean, the articulation is solid, and the costume is sharp without being flashy. It’s the kind of figure that grows on you the more you pose it.
Whether you’re a rooftop diorama builder or a carded display-only type, the Daredevil: Born Again Marvel Legends figure has earned a spot in your collection.
