Marvel Legends – Daken Masked and Unmasked Variants (Arnim Zola BAF Wave)
The Figures
Left: Masked variant Daken (Arnim Zola BAF Wave) Right: Unmasked variant Daken (Arnim Zola BAF Wave)
Here we have Daken from the Arnim Zola BAF Wave. It has two variants; masked and unmasked. I feel that the unmasked Daken is harder to find.
This Daken costume follows the comic during his stint in Dark Avengers, led by Norman Osborn. He hasn’t gotten adamantium claws yet at that time, but eventually did.
They are the same exact figure except for the head.
Differences
Daken has the tattoo from his shoulders and down towards his forearm. Its paintwork is clean on both figures.
Here is a closer look at the mohawk. How does he squeeze that hair under the mask? Heh.
That mask around the neck has been reused plenty of times for unmasked Wolverine figures. The hair has a decent sculpt.
TL;DR
The two figures are exactly the same except for the head. The unmasked head looks great and is comic accurate.
My Verdict
Left: Toybiz Series IV Wolverine Middle: Hasbro Daken (Arnim Zola BAF Wave) Right: Hasbro Wolverine (Juggernaut BAF Wave)
Although the figures are exactly the same, you need to get both to have the alternate heads. The heads are difficult to swap out too, as Hasbro’s older figures doesn’t use the ball peg joints like the newer ones, where its easier to just pull off the head to swap with another.
Above is a comparison of Daken with his father Wolverine. He’s taller than both Wolverine figures, as he should be as he is taller in the comics.
