Check out some incredible and unexpected bootleg LEGO minifigures - Heroes Assemble by Sheng Yuan - coming soon to eBay for cheap (or if you can't wait and want to pay a little more or buy in bulk, available now on AliExpress.)
This first batch may seem a little 'meh', until you get to the lower right hand corner. Yes, kids, that's Red Robin in BootLEGO minifigure form! Also shown is movie Hawkeye, yellow Deadpool, and Phoenix. Not sure how these will be bundled when they come to eBay, but I'll take any Marvel also-ran to get my hands on that Red Robin!
This next batch shows Beast and Ant-Man, along with Green Arrow and a masked brown costume Wolverine! None of these are 'must-haves' for me (I already have the Decool brown costume Wolverine) but I wouldn't mind owning all of them, so I'll wait and see how I feel or how they are bundled when they hit eBay.
Here's a batch that I will definitely try to get: Comic book Hawkeye, Galactus (!!!), Cyborg and Nova. That Galactus is just incredible and probably will never be seen in an official LEGO set.
Finally, Sheng Yuan has bootlegged the recent GameStop exclusive Plastic Man, a minifigure I would love to own. This batch also includes Daredevil, Loki and Magneto. If bundled in this manner, I may pass and just try to get an official LEGO Plastic Man, since none of the others really appeal to me (and since I already own a Decool version of that Magneto.) EDIT: I just noticed Plastic Man has elongated arms and legs, unlike the LEGO version. Looks like I will have to pick this one up after all!
These should be popping up on eBay really soon, so keep your eyes peeled. In my experience Sheng Yuan makes some top quality bootleg LEGO minifigures, and while many of these may be available in official LEGO form, some aren't and probably never will be.

Sympathy for the Daredevil
First, I want to thank everyone here for the birthday wishes. It was a great day, I had so much fun.
But my day is over, so enough about me. How about seeing some swag!
First up on the birthday haul is Daredevil in his original costume!

Like with Captain America, I am very picky when it comes to Daredevil action figures. So much so that I did not have a Daredevil action figure before this one. You see, the thing is, I have nothing against his red costume; it's just that I always wanted his first costume FIRST. I'm weird like that.

I recall that Marvel Legends released a yellow version years ago as a "chase" or "variant" figure, and I really wanted it, but since I never saw it I never bothered with the red Daredevil released at the time. Nor did I ever bother with the movie version. The less said about that one the better.
I'm glad I waited, as this version (from Hasbro's Marvel Legends: Nemesis Walmart exclusive line) is far superior! It was well worth the wait to get Daredevil into my action figure roster.
His nunchucks fit nicely in his leg holster too, which is very cool.
Daredevil's head sculpt is excellent, his horns are nice and crisp and his face looks tough and heroic. The head sculpt even has wrinkles on the top and back, like a real cowl would. Nice attention to detail.
The costume isn't exactly like his first appearance, which had one large "D" instead of two small ones, but since this is just a repaint of the red version released in the same line, I can forgive that.
I just love gaudy superhero costumes, and Daredevil's original is one of the most gaudy. I'd say it looks like it was designed by a blind guy, but that'd be insensitive. Anyways, I love it and personally feel like I now own one of the best Daredevil action figures ever made.

"I don't get it."
