Back on topic, think someone else's idea that the cape should be wired is an interesting one. I agree, that would be pretty cool to see.

I'm torn on this. On the one hand, it would be awesome. The one figure I own with wired clothing is the Medicom Mustang, and when I first got it I thought that feature was the coolest thing ever.

On the other, that wire was really thin (as it should be, any thicker and it would get hard to manipulate) and I'd be super nervous of weakening it/bending it out of shape with too much dynamic posing. Cause where's the fun of wired capes without dynamically posing them?

What I really wish--and it doesn't look to be the case--is for the cape to be removable like V1 Thor. I've actually been planning on making a wired cape for my Thor anyway, so doing one for Loki as well wouldn't be a big deal. And then if I accidentally bend the thing into an accordion, there would be less freak out afterwards.


Also. Every time I think that sculpt can't possibly impress me anymore, more photos pop up. Wow.

I prefer the non-wired capes. I actually think the cape that came with Odin is my favorite one Hot Toys has ever done.

Yeah, the material had a much nicer weight and texture to it imho.

A detachable cape would be great, I'd love it and would probably make this figure even more expensive. I know people were saying earlier in the thread that they wanted the staff to light up, which would also be awesome but by the time we got done with all these details, Loki would be $500.

Seconded. Great pix, Pau and keep 'em coming.

p.s. and OT, Friction, what is the name of the Red Skull miniseries you mentioned? I'd be interested in looking that over.

Yeah, unfortunately little details add up quickly. It's like making a pizza with too many toppings, lol. I'm interested to see how the 1/4 stuff is handled and priced.

The miniseries is called Red Skull Incarnate.

Can I ask the about the masses of TH love flowing here...

You have 'Venice Beach, power-gym beef' types like Hemsworth and Evans,

And there is the slim 'emaciated European romantic' type like Hiddleston.

These are two vastly different facial and body types, and yet TH does not seem to have lost any ground in the adoration stakes whatsoever. I was wondering if any female Freak might bridge the seemingly obvious disparity?

As for being male and comfortably sharing opinions on how other men look..? No problems from me there, I think that this film has a collection of really good looking men that cater to all tastes. Actually all tastes are well catered for, whatever you preference, with this cast.

His wife will either be very proud or go ballistic at all the attention he seems to be getting from fan girls. LOL

In related news, didn't someone mention that they would contact Tom about this figure? Wonder how that went?

Hahaha! You have used The same words that my mother : I really don't know what happened, I used to like Chris Hemsworth, I'm not overly fond of bulky guys, but he was ok. The change came after seeing Thor The second time, I just loved The way TH acted, as I said before I think his personality attracts me, his versatility as an actor, he says clever things when he's interviewed not as The typical pretty face. I don't know man, that's At least what happened to me : :

No comments from TH on his twitter so far...

I will try to answer....

Men and women process this information differently, and I am speaking from real-life observation here. Men are often fixated on a body-part, or on a specific overall type. When they find what they are looking for, puns intended, its on. When they find out later [as they often do] that the brain encased in that body is in no way aligned with their own, trouble begins. What I'm saying is that men will often choose a mate based on looks alone. [Please don't throw rocks, this is only what I've seen after a lifetime of observation].

Women are a little different. Believe me when I say that women enjoy the eye-candy too - we do. But women only really become serious when they LIKE YOU. Sexual attraction is a must as well most of the time, but that LIKE must be there for things to heat up further. Men will endure contact with a woman they actually hate, as long as the ginormous breasts [or whatever] are there. Women REFUSE TO DO THIS.

So a woman is open to more possibilities. They're not stuck in that "must have ginormous breasts and be blonde or it aint happening" mindset; when they find what appeals to them, thats when the magic starts.

You know what? Really, from my own track record guys like Evans and Hemsworth are more my type, except that I prefer dark-haired men. However when you meet a perfect storm of physical attractiveness AND that voice, that marvelous voice..... his voice is no small part of Loki's charm and he could talk anyone into doing anything with it, I imagine. UK men are well known to have that vocal charm, and when one talks to them in real life it is all one can do not to melt into a puddle at their feet. Seriously!

So glad they did not coach Hiddleston out of his accent, its perfect for the character.

As far as his wife or girlfriend - there seems to be some confusion as to her actual status - she had better batten down the hatches because this sort of fangirly adoration is part of being involved with someone in the entertainment industry. She's a lucky lady & I'm sure she knows it.

Back on topic! Is it any closer to December yet, must. have. figure. now.

I'm not fond of bulky men either! To me, TH is one of the most beautiful men on the planet.

However, I was a fan of comic Loki long before Tom played him in Thor, it will be interesting to see how many people buy this just for TH rather than the character himself.

Must agree, for years I was of the opinion that Loki was the most interesting person in Asgard.

Just started "The Trials of Loki" TPB; one of the first things Loki does is to sneak into Sif's bedroom at night and cut off all her hair, out of jealousy that she prefers Thor. OMG, lol. Yeah, Thor is not too happy about that one.

So the movie fleshes Loki out a bit for me, resulting in a perfect storm of interest, carnal and otherwise.

@Ramatuelle: Good thing it works that way and not in reverse. I'm not buffed or anything, a bit overweight even, yet I always managed to get the good looking GF. Speaking 3 languages helped. Go female attraction to brains and personality, I say (and to tallness lol)! It would have sucked big time if that principle didn't apply

BTW, Alice Cooper once said he never cheated on his wife since the fangirls were never after him, but after his "stage character" instead.

The new Journey into Mystery with boy Loki is a blast. He is my favorite "villain" for sure.
