1/6 Hot Toys Avengers: Endgame - Armored Thanos

[SilverStar17]

I just got the email that my final payment is pushed back once again to June 15. If I asked for a full refund, do you guys know if I get my rewards point back as well? I used a lot on this and I'd hate to lose them all.

Presuming you still want this guy, you’re willing to pay full price just to have him now?

I'm actually thinking if I get a refund I'll just use the money for something else instead. I wanted this figure but since it's taken so long, other items have become more of an interest now, so I'm debating.

Destiny arrives on Tuesday! Finally!

I just got mine and I'm thinking of selling him off honestly. Thanos was awesome in Infinity War, but Endgame sort of soured me on the character. That, all the delays, and other priorities + the pandemic make me feel like I shouldn't keep him.

So it seems that selling of your Thanos is.....Inevitable......

I can for certain understand having other priorities at the moment and needing some cash, so some figures may have to go. However, if you’re not planning on abandoning 1/6 collecting altogether, I don’t think this figure should be one of them. He’ll likely go down in history as being an iconic cinematic villain, so you may regret selling him later on after all this passes and things get back to normal.

Got mine as well and It's a keeper!
I also got Marco's Resin head and Gauntlet.
I'm all good now

Curious why you felt it soured you on the character? I thought it was interesting in that they showed us the difference in personality between the Thanos who went through what it took to assemble the stones himself and the "younger" one who didn't. It was like a character arc in reverse.

Let us know when you finish painting it!

Ok, as promised here are some photos. I?ll preface this with the fact I?m terrible at posing and angling figure photos and the lighting in my house is terrible! And yes I know Loki?s helmet isn?t screen accurate but I hate putting that thing on so it stays on forever!

None the less, I had fun doing this

Thank you!

Yeah he was my first ?expensive? HT and getting his helmet on without scratching his face or breaking the thing had me all hot and sweaty lol

I?m glad they engineered Thanos? helmet so well.

Yeah it isn't abandoning the hobby altogether, just focusing solely on figures I think should have "premium" representation in my collection. I have at least five figures that are in storage due to space, and it makes me feel bad since I dunno if I'll ever have room for them.

Well, pretty much for the exact reason you mentioned.

Thanos in Infinity War earned all of his achievements, and felt deeper as a character. In Endgame he felt almost like Steppenwolf from the Justice League movie, and had everything handed to him. He feels way more like a generic villain. It's a bit weird because in the flashback on Gamora's home planet in Infinity War he still feels like Infinity War Thanos, and that takes place well before Guardians, which is when Endgame Thanos is supposed to be from.

I just thought the transition between the two wasn't satisfying, especially for the big Avengers conclusion. Moments stick out like when Scarlet Witch gets revenge against Thanos for something he hasn't even done - it reminds me of the Donner Cut of Superman II where Superman goes back in time so he never forfeited his powers for Lois, but still kicks the diner guy's ***.

 

[SilverStar17]

Well in SW’s defense, she didn’t know that the Thanos that killed both her and Vision was actually killed himself, so for all she knew, 2014 Thanos was the same Thanos. Asking if that’s the same one isn’t exactly a question you’re going to ask when the only thing on your mind when you get revived is “**** that guy.”

I get what you’re saying, but I didn’t really get that feeling. I thought he was still pretty bad *** in that final fight scene, but it was pretty demonstrable his character took a back seat in this film in order to give fan service by paying homage to all the films up to that point.

 

[Captain Clown]

Yeah, it was definitely a fanservice-filled movie, which I thought was disappointing after how "unsafe" Infinity War was, I'd say it's almost comparable to TLJ vs. TROS, but without firing directors.

I get that it had to pay homage to the MCU, as it's a "soft finale", but I was hoping it would still try to roughly follow the Infinity Gauntlet story line - especially with Adam Warlock being teased in Guardians 2, what a waste that is now.

 

[SilverStar17]

Very true.

Actually, I kind of equate SW in EG upon first seeing 2014 Thanos, to the way 1955 Biff was in BttF 2 when he came to after being knocked out by George and saw 1985 Marty in disguise crouching over him.

“YOU!”

Still waiting on mine,. but this is a really good video for some pose ideas.

I really wish I hadn't seen this. Now I need to get an IW/Endgame Cap !!

 

[Che-Che2837]

Yeah he has some great posing videos! I?m just going to use my CW Capt instead when mine comes in. I have a 3rd party mjolnir I bought on eBay already.

 

[roninjai]

Converted my payment plan to a single payment today. Hopefully it will get processed asap and this guy will be in my hands soon.

Yes, I have CW as well. I'll use him too.

One of the best fight scene moments in the entire MCU run !
