One A Day 2.0: Day #313 - Blue Shield

Morgan Le Fay doesn't get the credit she deserves being one of the Avengers most prolific adversaries.
I'm definitely guilty of this. Despite knowing she's been showing up regularly to bother the Avengers since the 70s, she still doesn't make my mental shortlist of their main villains.

That said, I'd still definitely pick up a figure. The story I most closely associate with her is the Heroes Return medieval Avengers tale, so I'd be totally cool getting that version. But I'd most prefer the more simple/classic Handbook look.
 
Morgan feels like a huge missing spot in the roster. 100% would buy her, but just hope they find a way to articulate her legs so we don't end up with a robed statue.
 
Yes please on comic Morgan Le Fay!!!

For those of you that haven't watched The Runaways show, Elizabeth Hurley was so, so enjoyable in that role. I'd love to see her reprise it in the broader MCU in something like Secret Wars.
 
Fully in for either Handbook or Busiek/Pérez Morgan. Though depending on execution, he costume might be a bit of a traffic cone. In which case I'd want it to go all the way to the ground so she'd balance on her dress instead of her (presumably) high-heeled feet.
 
Fantastic Force - I'd like to say yes but realistically they would just end up at the bottom of a bin. So I'd likely pass.

Morgan Le Fay - Now this one's a definite yes! Classic Handbook preferred, but any green dress/skull belt combo would do the trick. Seeing her in that mid-80s Avengers arc reminds me how much we need Shroud too.
 
Day #312 - Blade - 1st appearance (and other costumes)

Would I buy? 1st appearance is a Day #1 instant purchase
Which version? I think the biggest question is: brown jacket or green jacket? I'll take either, but I prefer brown.

Hey Hasbro: 1st appearance Blade/Colan Dracula 2-pack.

I only really need one Blade figure and I've already got several that I'm happy with. Rare pass for me as I would prefer a character that I don't already have action figure representation of.
 
The overall color scheme of the green pants/brown (red?) coat is better as a total design. But I do love that green jacket. I'd happily take either for a FA Blade!

Now that we've opened to door to wired goods I can see a modern Blade with wired trenchcoat getting made in some form or another (plus a dozen other figures that coat could be reused for). He also lends himself to tons of different looks and accessories - I don't know if there's enough Blade love out there for a Maximum figure, but I could see it being a hit if they load it out with weapons, lots of extra heads and hands, and a wired coat to tie it all off. I'd take it.
