Hasbro Marvel Legends Spider-Man Animated VHS Daredevil vs Hydro-Man 2-pack

I think the cel shading is pretty decent on this DD figure. This and the Wolverine VHS are the only two that Hasbro did at least okay with the cel shading off the top of my head.

I am actually growing to like it more. I really dig the way they did the cell shading on this one compared to some other less attractive cell shading attempts they have tried. It adds kind of an edginess to the figure which I think suites the darker themes of Daredevil's character pretty well. I probably wont be picking this set up, since I already have a decent enough Daredevil figure and I am kind of indifferent to Hydro Man as a character, but I do think this Daredevil is cool nonetheless.

Yeah I agree, the more I see this DD, I like it, the cell-shading works here at least for me, it gives off a comic vibe, I dig it, never liked any Cell-shaded figure before but since this does have a very off the pages of the books aesthetic going on it appeals to me, now as a Animated Cell-shade this doesn't work.

still not gonna buy this pack, despite actually being pretty into it, I already have a red DD and a Hydro-Man, just gotta pause on that "buy it alll" mentality.

I was going to say he went swimming through an oil slick, or was being attacked by a certain alien symbiote, but now I see the Carnage vibes.

I don't understand why some of these animated figures have the cell shading and others don't.

I'm really liking that Daredevil less and less each time I see it. I still really want the Hydro-Man, though. It might be time for Hasbro just to throw on the towel on any type of cel-shading. Decided to pass on Morbius/Strange altogether. That's the first of these animated Spidey sets I've passed on since Spidey/Carnage.

Shown below via Hasbro's Dan Yun is an in-hand look at the new Daredevil Figure from the Marvel Legends Spider-Man Animated VHS Daredevil vs Hydro-Man 2-pack from Hasbro. Pre-order exclusively on HasbroPulse with a suggested retail price of $49.99.

I've always dug clear figures, like Iceman and Crystar or Ghost Starscream, so keep 'em coming!

Though hopefully it's just the lighting makes him look darker in the in-hand pic.

It's too bad that I really like this Hydro-Man, I always wished this was the version we got first because all Water form Hydro-Man is the cooler version, this figure would however have been even cooler had it had the big water arms from the previous release because those actually were the reason I thought the figure was cool.

Fun looking set. I like the water effects. It would be nice if there were some for his hands, too.
