Good question. Another rubber armed Thor is insta-pass for me though.

Whats the problem with the rubber arms?

Well you have to worry about how posing will affect them. I've kept the arms on mine straight but not everyone are museum posers. Sure seamless looks good but there's not the peace of mind that comes with jointed arms.

A lot of people complain about seams but they don't bother me

Yes, and there were plenty of people having issues with the rubber after they posed the figure quite a bit. On top of that and the biggest issue for me personally, is that when the rubber armed Thor is posed with a bent elbow the entire thing looks terrible imo.

Looks crap on Hulk too with the odd looking elbow pit/bicep

Yes Rubber arms are totally wrong for action poses but totally right for museum poses..... or in the box poses

True, but I plan on having Thor wielding Mjolnir like a boss so museum poses are out for me.

If the figure does end up having rubber arms, I will look forward to grabbing an extra body on ebay to make a custom with.

Cant wait for this to go up purely just to see everyone try and dump their movie promos before the value tanks

I don't think the light armor was a movie promo, was it? It didnt get that high aftermarket anyway. I think a lot of people dismissed it because of the rumored arm problems.
