Summary
The Classic Daredevil PX Exclusive uniquely represents the character's original yellow costume with a distinct, stitched-together, homemade aesthetic, differentiating it from previous red and Shadowland variants. It includes three interchangeable heads (standard, battle-damaged, and unmasked Matt Murdock), six pairs of hands, dual baton sets with one featuring a posing wire, and a translucent red radar sense effect, enhancing display options. While praised for its detailed tailoring and accessories, articulation is somewhat limited by the tight costume, and the iconic yellow shorts design elicits mixed reactions among collectors.

- Sculpted boots, gloves, belts, and holsters matching the yellow costume design
- The yellow stretchy fabric returns to position well after posing, maintaining tight fit

Cons
- The yellow costume’s half-thigh shorts are visually awkward and disliked by some collectors
- “Batwing” style fabric flaps under arms cause odd bunching and restrict some arm articulation
- Tight red pleather torso slightly limits torso crunch and leg articulation compared to other Daredevil variants
- The wire for the baton poses is very thin and sags easily, making dynamic poses difficult
- Some issues with “camel toe” effect in crotch area due to costume design and fit
- Minor paint rubs and inconsistencies on yellow cowl, including sloppy edges and rub marks (reported in some figures)
- Ankle swivel is tight and may not be intended to rotate fully due to costume constraints
- No major new accessories beyond those reused from other Daredevil figures, though paint and color variations present
