Neither of these two are strong desires for me. Nothing against them, but no strong interest either. Pass.
This one is interesting. But I'm out on Don Blake. The civilian identity for Thor never worked that well and the character has been much better IMO since they ditched that aspect and just leaned in to the God of Thunder part. I can see why people would want one but this is a civilian identity I need a figure of less than Bruce Banner or even Hank Pym, and I wouldn't be broken up if they don't make it. I'm not dying for a Steve Rogers in civvies, or a Janet Van Dyne in an evening gown or bathing suit or whatever. I don't need civilian looks for all the heroes.
As for Shaper of Worlds - I would buy that if they made it. Seems like it wouldn't be that difficult to engineer and would be a fun addition to my Cosmic/FF adversary shelf.
I love the character of Thor. Donald Blake not so much. Now if he was in a 2 pack with a desired Thor character, I would probably pick that up. As a stand alone figure pass.
Shaper of Worlds would be cool to add to the collection. Yes please!
Sort of surprised Hasbro didn't do a few of those 2 packs like the FA Hulk and Dr Banner. Easily can see a few. Dr Blake (basically the Banner body in a labcoat with a stick) and early Thor (80th mold with new head and longer handle Mjolnir). Tony Stark (suit body) with early Iron Man (repaint FA Iron Man gold). Peter Parker (Romita style in nehru jacket or Ditko style in yellow sweater) with Spidey, etc. Seem easy sales with low costs.
The new forum is so annoying to use on mobile—I get auto logged whenever I open another tab. So frustrating.
Anyway, check out the modern Donald Blake who is a very powerful Thor opponent:

Hey everybody - some family situations have arisen so I’m gonna have to take a little break from my beloved One A Day and the forums in general.
I’ll be back - hopefully soon!
Please feel free to continue any fun and lively discussions. Pick a character and discuss!
Belasco is today’s archive character.
Thank you so much @beamish ! This has given me something to look forward to for so long it's a reflex to check every day. Take care of yourself, the forums will be here whenever you come back.
Take whatever time you need. We all appreciate your dedication and the work you put into this topic.
Wishing you and yours the best, and I hope your family situation works out in a positive manner.
I hope whatever tribulations your family is facing are resolved quickly and with the best possible outcomes, Beamish. Thanks for doing this for the board dutifully each day.
Yeah, Belasco is another occult character that I was hoping might show up in the EoV, oh well. Hopefully, we’ll get one via other means.
I’m a big ‘yes’ to Belasco.
So sorry to hear you've got some family issues to sort out, Beamish! You've been bringing a lot of life to the forum (pre- and post-blip) and your (temporary) absence will absolutely be felt. Best of luck with everything!
Yeah I love this thread and all your efforts, Beamish! Best of luck!
Wishing you all the best Beamish. We will all be here when you and the shoebox return.
Take care, Beamish.
Classic Belasco is a must have. 🙂 Oh, and take care, Beamish. I hope that all is well.
