Here by popular demand - Articulated Thoughts One A Day 2.0.
2.0 you might ask? What's different?
-Please add YES or NO to your comments, indicating if you'd buy the figure or not.
-Because the private messaging function is on this site - Guest Star Saturdays are back!
-I'm actually going to comment.
-I've taken the original list and jumbled it up.
-I might try out a few other things along the way.
Enjoy!

Let's start off with the #1 most wanted character in the Fwoosh poll from this past January -

Skurge the Executioner
Yes or No? YES

My take: Skurge is my #3 most wanted character. I prefer the Handbook version, not the more modern version based off the MCU. He should be bigger than Thor. Whether that makes him standard size or BAF/Deluxe - I don't really care. I just want him in figure form. A 2-pack with an updated Enchantress or with Thor in a Face-Off set would be awesome. The MCU version is not an acceptable stand-in for the comic version. As I've stated for years, I think Skurge and many others are victims of the MCU vs. comic IP "confusion" embargo put on comic versions of characters that appeared in the MCU. Skurge has been in many Top 10s over the years.
Get on it, Hasbro.

Yes!

Even at increased prices Skurge would be a yes. I need him for my Masters of Evil shelf (and also a new non-jelly-kneed Enchantress.)

I saw these forums have polls, I wonder if it is possible to edit and do a new one each day in the same thread?

I figured it out! Poll added! Thanks for letting me know!
 
I'd absolutely buy a comic Skurge, but am also mildly content with the MCU Karl Urban version that I currently have displayed. Skurge is 7'2" according to my Marvel Encyclopedia so that's still a standard sized figure to me. In my mind they should be able to do anything under 9" as a standard figure at the standard price. Others may disagree.

The Warriors Three, Balder, Kurse and a comic Heimdall are all higher on my personal list of Asgardian/Thor character needs, but throw a comic Executioner and a classic pinless Thor in there with that group and that's a full wave that I could get excited about!

Yessss! Love the return of One A Day!

Skurge is a GLARING omission in the line right now!
 
Absolutely, it's stupid that we don't have him yet. It would be fun if he came with his helmet but I wouldn't lose sleep if he didn't.
 
100 % purchase if it's handbook accurate Skurge. Given the number of Thor movies, it's downright bizarre that so few Asgardians have been done. The helmeted head would be a cool inclusion too. If the next Thor film does also include Greek gods like Hercules. I'd also like to see some comic-accurate Olympians, Venus/Aphrodite in particular.

The 4th Thor movie has Zeus in it. I won't say more, just in case you haven't seen the movie, yet, but I believe that Zeus is in the trailers, hence why I mention him.
