2024 Upper Deck Marvel Studios Series 1 Blaster

UD Marvel Studios Series 1:  I really like the Yelena Belova character in the Marvel cinematic universe.  Played by Florence Pugh, she's similar but very different at the same time, from Scarlett Johansson who played Black Widow.
Found these recently at Target (toy aisle where they also have cards).  I like them.  The design on the first 50 cards come like this Baron Zemo card.  Looks similar to Upper Deck's 1997 Legends Football set.  The next 50 look like the Star-Lord and Hulk cards.
We get horizontal offerings as well.  This design isn't a favorite of mine, but it is simple and works okay.  I do like how the actor's/actresses' names are part of the fronts.
We get some shiny type cards in the form of Dazzlers and HoloGrFX inserts.  I like Dazzlers but the HoloGrFX cards don't do much for me.
I really like this card.  Might be the colors within the scene and the design.  Whatever it is, I like it.
The Debut cards make up cards 101-130 of the base set.  Then we get Canvas and Portraits inserts.  All three of these are fine with Canvas being my favorite.  I'm still not sure about Portraits.
Series 1 of Marvel Studios focus on Marvel television series while Series 2 is focused on their latest movies.  I'll definitely pick up a box of Series 2 when I get a chance.
The backs are pretty simple, but I like the information provided including appearances in the cinematic universe.
There is a Jumbo insert in each blaster about the size of the blaster.  They are okay but I'm never sure what to do with oversized cards.
These are fun.  Having watched all the television shows these take you back which is enjoyable.  There are autographs possible if you get the hobby boxes.  I may pick off singles here.  A few more characters/actors I'd like to have.  

Looks like Wanda is getting ready for Valentine's Day...
