Yellow is part of the lore. Makes sense knowing it was made from what his dad wore. And also he’s blind so that makes they color choices funnier.

I mean to be fair Matt was blinded when he was like ten years old so he knows the differences between red and yellow. And if his heightened scenes allow him to forge a costume with this level of craftsmanship, surely they can help him “discern” the differences between the color scheme. So make no mistake, Matt knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s making a stupid looking costume with reckless abandon.

The main thing I miss about the ToyBiz Legends and related lines are the bases & diorama pieces. I still use the destroyed Sentinel bases in my X-Men display.

I have several in my Dio, which I actually just posted some pics of in the Action Photo thread.
 
I know Spiderman makes his own costumes but who makes Daredevil's? If I were a blind super hero I doubt I'd be sewing anything. Maybe buying wetsuits and ski masks in bulk.

I thought Melvin Potter helped him out with that? Or am I thinking of the tv series?

I thought he just made equipment by and large. I know the show he made much more for him, but I'm just talking about the costume itself, since in the comics (as far as I know) there's no body armor involved with DD's costume.

Melvin potter wasn’t invented until about ten years after the first issue of Daredevil launched so it’s presumed that all of the suits were made by Matt. Also in the comics Melvin Potter is a very different character. Suffers from delusional psychosis and Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Not that long; Melvin Potter first appeared in Daredevil #18. And he made superhero costumes for rental. In his first appearance Foggy went to him to get a Daredevil costume in order to fool Karen into thinking he was DD. Silver Age shenanigans!
 
Maybe he orders Zentai suits from people in Japan who can neither speak English nor be bothered to know or care who Daredevil is. This is how he learned of The Hand on his first trip to Osaka to retrieve said suits, as he can't use a P.O. Box either because he can't tell which one is his. The yellow and red suit was part of his order by mistake, but he still wore it for years because he couldn't tell the difference.

Marvel's Mr. Magoo.

Right…and maybe he slipped on a banana peel too.


You know how it’s funny how Stan Lee created Daredevil because he wanted to show that anyone can be a hero, even those who were born with a disability that would otherwise shun them in society. He posited that what if it was those very gifts that made a person extraordinary?

And now here we are 60 years later like “Haha look at the blind idiot in his little onesie and stumbling his way to victory.”

Going back to "Secret Wars", which is, y'know, the topic at hand here and not just Daredevil, I'm curious how a third "Secret Wars" wave would look. Would it include some of the villains from the first wave of Mattel's original toyline, like Dr. Doom, Doctor Octopus, Kang and Magneto? Would it make characters from Hasbro's two-packs with the 3 and 3/4 inch "Secret Wars" toys they made and make figures like Cyclops, Hulk, Thor and Thunderball? Will we get more female characters in the wave like Storm, Rogue, Wasp, Spider-Woman, She-Hulk, and/or the highly-requested Volcana? Will we get more solo figure releases? Will they make other characters from the Mattel toyline, like Baron Zemo, Hobgoblin and Electro? There are so many characters left for Hasbro to make that I could see this lasting for at least five or six more waves.
