The object of this review is a small "piece of history" for who collects Marvel statues. If I remember correctly, in fact, the Daredevil is identified by the number # 1 in the vast catalogue of Bowen Design, which means that (except for the very rare pieces in real bronze) it represents the progenitor of the entire production of 1:6 scale pieces of the famous American house. Released in 1998, the piece was sculpted by Randy Bowen, with an edition of 4000 samples for the red version and 2000 for the yellow one. Ten years later (2008) the same statue was also released in the faux bronze version, unlike which, however, the original statues were produced in a single block, avoiding to separate the figure from the base. The pose of the character is static, in the typical "museum" style that characterizes most of the Bowen pieces: Matt Murdock stands on a fairly tall, slightly pyramid-shaped pedestal, embellished with a play of thicknesses along the entire perimeter and two metallic-looking coats of arms, depicting the face of an angel (frontally) and that of a devil (on the back). The same basis will be used by Bowen in the following years for different characters, all of them related to the world of the blind hero (Black Widow, Elektra, Bullseye). The elegance of the figure underlines the great talent of Randy Bowen in sculpting the human body: the outstretched legs and the arms placed slightly away from the torso highlight the athletic physique of the character, with well-defined muscles on chest and abdomen, while the hands grip the two ends of the famous "stick", joined by a thin rope. On the contrary, the painting clearly shows the weight of the years: the colors are vivid, very faithful to the tables of Comics, and the nuances on the muscular contours are not lacking, but overall a certain approximation in the use of colors is evident as well as a lack of attention to detail, especially on the face, where the paint appears too light and uniform. Due to the polychromy of the costume, this critical aspect is much more evident in the yellow version, where, however, there is also a greater number of details, such as the small buttons on gloves and boots, the belt and the sheath of the stick in a different color with respect to the suit or even the triangular silhouette of the upper part of the same boots. The color of the red version, on the contrary, is of a very good level. In any case, the statue still boasts an indisputable charm and undoubtedly deserves a place of honor in the collection of any fan of Bowen Design.
