Walgreens Marvel Legends Yellow Daredevil Released!

Earlier this week I talked about the arrival of one of the two final 2015 Marvel Legends items: the Target Exclusive Marvel Legends three-pack containing figures of Ultron, Indestructible Hulk and the West Coast Avengers Vision. But that’s not to say that the other final item for this year’s range hasn’t been released recently as well: the Walgreens Exclusive Marvel Legends First Appearance Daredevil figure is also at large! And while he was previously only found online, Classic Yellow Daredevil is starting to show up now in Walgreens stores as well…

Spider-Man Legends Exclusive Classic Yellow Daredevil Figure

At San Diego Comic-Con 2015, two new Walgreens Marvel Legends exclusives were announced by Hasbro for this summer/fall: a Black Ant “Ant-Man” figure (which I was totally expecting) and a Classic Yellow Daredevil figure (which I was only 50/50 on being their Daredevil exclusive). But while their Irredeemable Ant-Man figure hit stores within a week of SDCC 2015, collectors have had to wait a mite longer to get their hands on the exclusive Yellow Daredevil.

…But no longer! Word broke in the latter half of September that the online Walgreens store was now taking orders for the First Appearance Daredevil 6″ figure, and he started appearing in mailboxes (and on ebay) shortly thereafter.

And luckily for those folks, the Marvel Legends Yellow Daredevil figure has now begun hitting Walgreens stores the past week or so… in limited quantities.

Back of Box Marvel Legends Walgreens First Appearance DaredevilWhile the 6″ Ant-Man Black Ant figure was relatively easy to find in stores–as he shipped in a fully-stocked shipper display of just himself–the Daredevil First Appearance action figure isn’t so lucky (yet). For the moment, Walgreens stores are receiving full or partial cases of the Spider-Man Legends Rhino Wave–but instead of Misty Knight, their cases have Classic Yellow Daredevil figures in them. Poor Misty!!

Back of Walgreens Daredevil First Appearance FigureUnfortunately, Walgreens stores seem to either be receiving restocks of the Hobgoblin wave from earlier in the year or the Rhino wave, which is making things difficult for those hunting for DD at retail. Furthermore, since it’s common for a single case to be split between several stores in an area, even if your local store does have some of the Rhino Series figures, there’s no guarantee that they received–or will receive–the First Appearance Daredevil figure right now.

Matt Murdock Head from Walgreens Exclusive Yellow DaredevilBut there is hope on the horizon! According to Walgreens employees, a shipper display of just the 6″ First Appearance Daredevil figure is scheduled to hit stores by December 2015. That’s two months away, mind you, but at least we know that there should be a healthy stock of this hotly-demanded Hasbro Daredevil figure arriving throughout the rest of the year.

Yellow Daredevil Marvel Legends Figure and Accessories

This figure is going to be especially popular with collectors because it includes a Matt Murdock unmasked head that the red Marvel Legends Daredevil released early in 2015 did not include. The Matt Murdock head will fit comfortably on the body of the Marvel Legends Chameleon figure in this same wave, so you can make a custom Matt Murdock pretty easily! (And with some modding, you can get the Matt Murdock head onto the popular Agent Coulson suited body from the SHIELD set as well.)

In addition to the alternate unmasked Daredevil head, this figure also includes a red repaint of the long two-part baton that came with the regular version of this figure and also the Hellcat figure released in the spring. I’m still not big on this accessory, but I suppose I like it better in red than I did its two prior colors (white and blue).

Marvel Legends Yellow Daredevil FigureI’ll post an update to the Marvel Toy News Facebook Page once the full shipper of Classic DD figures hit stores in the winter for those who are waiting for a flood of easy-picking Daredevils to arrive. Keep watching for the alert if you’re determined to have a multitude of this action figure to choose the best one(s) from.

Have you found the Marvel Legends exclusive Yellow Daredevil at your local Walgreens store yet, Marvel collectors? And if so, are you planning to use the extra head to make a Matt Murdock figure out of Chameleon or another figure, or are you not interested in having a 6″ Matt Murdock action figure?

Walgreens Marvel Legends Yellow Daredevil Released! — 10 Comments

  1. Your late to the party again, these hit over two weeks ago, I ordered mine from walgreens 3 weeks ago

    • I would say it’s your comment that’s late to the party, B, since I explicitly said all that in the article itself. =P

  2. The unmasked face looks like Channing Tatum wearing Cyclops’ glasses. Fairly decent mold as well. Got tired of the Daredevil figs that shared Wolverine’s or Spiderman’s molds.

  3. I found one a week or two ago, I love this figure, it looks awesome. I’m thinking about picking up another to paint the “all-new, all-different” costume.

  4. It is modern hawkeye. too lazy an effort, won’t even bother with this one..let it fall where it may!

  5. I still haven’t seen this fucker in stores and it’s November 5th now. Colorado Springs.

  6. Just hit 5 Walgreen’s tonight and had no luck. Did see Agent Venom, Black Ant, and the Hulkbuster BAF wave, though.

    I went out looking b/c walgreens.com said stores had the DD fig in stock, but apparently, the website counts all ML figures in its count of their exclusive figures. Multiple stores said “2-5 in stock”, and when I got to the stores, sure enough, there were 5 ML figures, or more, but none were DD.

    Someone on another site claims he was told by a Walgreen’s employee that full displays of DD are headed to stores in December.
