One A Day 2.0 Day #456 - SDCC Week featuring Goblin Queen

[Thor-El]

I find Vanguard’s choice for the One-A-Day a happy coincidence as I just happen to be currently re-reading the Avengers vs X-Men limited series.

Thanks for reminding me how old I am...

Oh, you're a mere swaddling babe. You have many, many more years ahead.

Yes to classic Vanguard! Of course I need to point yet again that we don’t have classic Crimson Dynamo or Titanium Man in Legends either!

Yes to Mercurio—very cool look.

Absolutely, classic handbook look for Vanguard (pic 1/2). Would pre-order.

 

[Reno]

Yes, I'd buy Vanguard. Prefer the more classic looks.

Day #402 - Baron Blood

Would I buy? Day #1 instant purchase
Which version? Pictures #5, #6 & #7

Poor Baron Blood. He made the Top 10 list last year but didn't make the cut this year. Mabye next year.
I'd be all over a Spitfire/Baron Blood 2-pack.

Yes, I'd absolutely buy a Baron Blood Marvel Legends figure.

Maybe this guy will finally perfect underarm wing design for action figures?

This is why he doesn't place higher on my want list, I'm worried he'd end up not much fun to pose.

I think recent figures like 2pk Black Bolt and Secret Wars Falcon are inching closer to what I want to see. I like having relaxed and outstretched options for the wings. But not at the expense of articulation, like on Falcon. His solid wings plug into both this upper and lower arms, immobilizing his elbows. While it looks good, it feels awful losing that point of articulation. But really, what other position would the arms look good in if the wings are spread?

 

[AceofKnaves]

I would stand up and cheer for a classic Baron Blood.

 

[Lucid Silverback]

Falcon be stuck forever in the display with his arms outstretched lookin' like the damn Geefle.

 

[renfield75]

YES. Yes yes yes yes yes. He's in my top ten. I think I'd prefer the more spidery version that Byrne drew but honestly any representation of the character on the shelf would be good for me. Open and closed wings included would be the best option.

A Baron Blood figure always felt like kind of a pipe dream but 24 years into ML, when we have Box and Crystar and Phantom Rider, he doesn't seem so impossible anymore.

Please and thank you. Baron Blood is an absolute must have. We've got his brother and nephew as Union Jack in the line... but we need the Baron badly. We also need his niece, and fellow vampire, Spitfire, in a big way.

Please give us Baron Blood soon. The skinny base body would be perfect to reuse for Diablo. C'mon Hasbro. You know you want to.

Emphatic yes to classic Baron Blood. Agree the Byrne Handbook look is ideal. Enjoyed that Jackson Guice/Roy Thomas Dr. Strange run, so throw in a Victor Strange alternate head. 100% on board for a Spitfire two-pack. Include a Spitfire vampiric head and make it a Halloween-themed 2026 release.
