Blade Merchandise – The Day Belongs to the Hunter
Vampires fear the sunlight. Blade doesn't – and that's exactly why the vampires fear him. Marvel's most famous vampire hunter, born a half-vampire with all the strengths and none of the classic weaknesses of the undead, wears his nickname Daywalker like a declaration of war. With his sword, sunglasses, and leather coat, the character became a style icon of Marvel's darker cosmos long before superhero cinema turned into a mass phenomenon: the Blade films of the late nineties proved that Marvel properties also work as hard, adult action. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed Blade merchandise for anyone who prefers their heroes on the night shift – the product page gives details on each item.
What makes Blade special?
The uncompromising nature. Blade doesn't rescue cats from trees or give speeches – he works through a list, and vampires are on that list. That he's also fighting his own thirst the whole time makes him the most tragic type of hero: one who defeats the monster inside himself anew every day. Visually, the character is a gift for collectors – the silhouette with coat, sword, and dark glasses works just as well as a statue as it does on a comic panel. And because Blade regularly makes guest appearances across the wider Marvel universe, he also turns up where you might not expect him: sometimes in a team-up, sometimes as a variant in special series like Marvel Zombies.

Colleagues with an edge
Blade isn't the only Marvel character who lives in the gray zone: Deadpool handles his jobs with considerably more chatter, Venom shares his body with his monster, Punisher also keeps a list, and Wolverine knows the problem of the beast within all too well. The complete cosmos is bundled in the Marvel brand world.
