"Symbolism is tricky. It's a fine line.”
"Haven't you heard? I'm a cold-blooded killer."
Following his appearance in Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, Muse’s stock is pretty high at the moment, and as a result, his first-ever Marvel Legends figure was announced in February 2026. He would be part of a comic book-based 2-pack, joined by another Daredevil foe in the shape of Bullseye. The set is a Hasbro Pulse Exclusive, and it shipped out to collectors in mid-June.
On arrival, the pair are packed into the usual format Marvel Legends 2-pack with a large front window. Rather than the usual plain black, the box uses a deep red comic book panelled artwork, over which is applied the Daredevil comic book logo. The Marvel Legends logo sits in the top left corner, while the Hasbro logo, in white, sits in the bottom left, following on from the character names, which are listed as Marvel’s Muse and Marvel’s Bullseye to avoid copyright issues.
Artwork featuring both Muse and Bullseye has been drawn up for use on the box, with the right-hand side panel filled with a split panel of both characters. The same art is used again, in a smaller panel, on the opposite spine, with a full-size version on the back, split into two red-framed panels. There is no background text or details for either character.
Inside the box, the figures and the myriad of accessories are all set into an inner plastic tray. This then sits into a cardboard insert that uses the same comic book red-hued panel art as the box.
We start with Muse, who is based on the Ron Garney artwork, and features a pair of black coloured ruffled trousers tucked into a pair of motorcycle boots. The three buttons of the trousers' fly are painted in silver as are the three buckles on either side of the boots. The upper torso is cast in white with red blood stains on the hands and forearms, fading as though smeared up the sleeve. There is a further blood splash on the chest, with red and black droplets and spatter.
Muse is wearing a pair of braces, black rubberised plastic with painted silver buckles that loop over his shoulders and connect to the belt of his trousers. The back of the figure has the same, but with Muse’s backpack built in. The backpack, also black plastic, has no functionality. It cannot be opened to stow any of Muse’s weapons or accessories.
The headsculpt is the same white as the torso, with a hood with the eyes cut out. Black smeared paint is added to the eyes, and where this black smears over the open eye pieces, you can see a red pupil staring back at you. Muse’s ribbed black hat is part of the head sculpt and is not removable.
Muse features the standard 21 points of pinless articulation, and without any significant impediments of his costume, he is really extensive in how he can be posed. Muse can kneel and sit, while the arm range is extensive, thanks to the butterfly shoulders, allowing plenty of action-oriented poses with his weapons or spray can. The torso joint also supports ab-crunch, allowing Muse to lean and crouch, ready to pounce on his victims, the braces being flexible and not fixed fully, move with the crunch.
Muse has a selection of hands, arriving with a pair of clenched fists. You can swap these out for a selection of four gripping hands, a pair of tight grips, and a second pair of more open grips. Each hand is coloured to match the blood smear on the main body.
You are not short of accessories for posing with Muse, and they start with a blue spray can, which fits in one of the wider gripping hands. The weapons start with a bloodied wooden coloured baseball bat, which fits in nearly all of the gripping hands, the wider of the sets allowing Muse to cradle the wider business end of the bat in two-handed poses. The blood design is in keeping with Muse but won’t be to everyone’s taste, and it can look a little light and pink in places.
There are two knives, both with silver blades and more applied blood smear, again a tad too pinkish for my liking. Both knives included a silver pommel, with one having a black grip handle and the other a light leather colour. These fit in the tighter of the gripping hands.
The bladed weapons then move to a Machete, more blood down the silver blade, and with a black painted handle.
The final weapon is a hatchet, with more blood on the gunmetal head, and with a black wrapped grip. As noted, the backpack for Muse might have been a near storage option for some of these weapons, but that functionality has not been included, so other than holding them, there are no holstering or stowing options for Muse, save trying to tuck them into the straps of his bracers.
Moving to Bullseye, he is based on his more modern comic book look, which includes a pair of military brown cast combat trousers, with sculpted pockets and ribbed knee pads. These are tucked into a pair of black combat boots with sculpted lace design and a cut tread to the bottom.
The torso is black, and a tight-fitting shirt with arms that are cut short just below the elbow. To achieve this, the lower forearm piece is cast in black with the skin between the cuff and the hands painted over in flesh tone. While this looks ‘ok’, there is no sculpted transition and the flesh tone is a bit off in colour with the black visible beneath.
Bullseye's hands are cast in black to reflect the gloves he wears, while the only other decor on the torso are the bullseye symbols in white on both shoulders. Over the torso, Bullseye is wearing a combat belt and webbing. These are individual pieces in a softer plastic and coloured a military tan like the trousers. Into these are sculpted throwing knives, painted in silver and with the upper set across the chest featuring open holes in the grip. None of these are removable.
The first head sculpt is a full mask, in black, with the white bullseye logo on the forehead. The visible eyes are printed in a realistic style, and you can pick out Bullseye's intense blue eyes and the dark brows above.
You do then get a second head option where the mask is open around the nose and mouth. Here, the mask part is still coloured black, with the bullseye logo in white, but now we also have blood spatter across the side of the mask and face. The exposed face is grinning maniacally, and again, facial printing is used to add realism, even though this is a comic book-based figure.
Bullseye has 23 points of pinless articulation, two more than Muse, thanks to a boot cut that allows a swivel just under the knee. Again, without any significant armour or bulky clothing, there is a good range of motion that Bullseye can get into, with the arms able to wield any of the included weapons, including the handgun and sniper rifle, as we will see shortly.
In the pack, Bullseye appears to be packed with fewer accessories on the right-hand side of the box, but there is an obvious intention for some parts to be shared with Muse. In fact, if you look at Bullseye's combat webbing and belt, there are holstering loops that can hold the Hatchet and either of the knives we saw earlier in Muse's arsenal.
Bullseye comes fitted, like Muse, with a pair of clenched fists. For the accessories, you can exchange these with a pair of gripping hands that also include trigger fingers for the guns. There is a fifth hand option by way of an open-handed throwing knives included to simulate Bullseye ready to unleash a barrage of knives at an opponent.
The included handgun is simple and cast in black and can be held in either right or left gripping hand, with the trigger finger slipping into place.
The larger sniper rifle is more detailed with lots of detail down the barrel and main body of the gun, cast in gun metal, and with the but of the rifle painted in a wooden finish. While not specifically designed to fit that way, you can loop the sights of the rifle into the loop on the back of the figure to have a cross shoulder look, which looks pretty good from the front.
The rifle can be held up in firing poses, but there is not quite enough head articulation to get Bullseye looking straight down the scope; you can get close, but it needs a more extensive neck joint or a dual joint neck to have the eye line up with the scope.
This two-pack is very much riding on the success of Daredevil: Born Again, yet has been designed and executed as a comic-based release. Whether that means there is more demand in the comic book space despite the Disney+ series apparent popularity, or whether there were insufficient costume design details to develop the figures directly from the show ready for an early(ish) 2026 release.
For fans of the MCU, like myself, the Muse figure will be passable as a live-action release considering how close the onscreen costume is to the original comic design. Bullseye two, particularly with the full mask, is very much aligned to the realistic body proportions of the cinematic figures and while the costume is not close to the deep blue sported by Wilson Bethel. You can see in our final image that posing them with Daredevil from Born Again does not leave either of them looking out of place.
The set is a Hasbro Pulse Exclusive, and the initial allocation sold out quickly. Let’s hope for a restock for fans and collectors who did miss out when the pre-order started in March, and let’s also hold out for the possibility that parts from this can be repurposed into actual MCU versions in the future, and our Born Again collections can be expanded past Daredevil and Punisher (and the incoming Jessica Jones).

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force) and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
