1/6 Hot Toys - Infinity War - Thanos

It looks good to me...he even has a slight smirk.

I wish they would show the 2nd head.

Your right, I don't see Thanos at all in that sculpt

If that is a final product photo, then bravo HT. Smashed it.

That's the same pic that was posted in here back in April though, so who knows, but yea definitely want to see the second head.

Ah, I see. I did wonder when I saw it pop up on Facebook this morning (first time I've seen it). Fingers crossed it hasn't been messed with and sculpt #2 is equally impressive.

I was just playing since 'OOF' is not usually a good response, at least in North America. Like you see somebody fall out of a window and go oof, that hurt. You see a great headsculpt, the correct response is probably more 'oomph' or 'yowzers'.

Gotcha. In my neck of the woods I think it's an expression used to draw attention to something significant, both positive & negative (meant positive in this instance).

Same and I certainly see it as a VERY positive 'Oof!'. They smashed it

I’m surprised that this is still not getting an early release. (Actually it’s better for our wallets )

I would be shocked if this isn't shipping by April 26th. The body has got to be a problem since its pretty unique. Hulk is probably close to the same height, but hot toys knew they would make more versions of hulk. Thanos may only get 1 more version, so maybe they are trying to be conservative with number of figures produced. The gotg version didn't sell well I guess since you could buy it a couple of years after release for less than retail.

I think part of the reason GoTG Thanos didn't sell well is that many people wanted to wait for a newer version (since it was known that Thanos would be the villain for the final 2 Avengers movies). Plus there were some QC issues as well. I'm still skeptical that a new Thanos figure is coming next year, but its possible. I want an armored Thanos as much as everyone else, but the way Thanos is being rolled out feels like this will be the only version and we will get updated A4 figures of Cap and a few others. Hope I'm wrong though.

Love Thanos, but skipped the GOTG one. It just looked like an average toy. To be fair, he didnt look that great in the movie anyways. The paint detail was so-so, and the armor was just a sculpt, it didnt look like armor or clothing. If the armor and skin looks like its the same piece with different paint apps, just looks like a $100 toy.

Some people might not like the IW Thanos outfit, but at least it looks like an outfit, a separate piece. And the head sculpt looks like a more real life.

I passed on the GOTG version simply because he had not done anything in the MCU that made me want to spend the money on it.

Yep, all he did was sit down on his throne.

Honestly, most people (including myself) viewed that image as Thanos having “hung up” his armor because he achieved his goal BUT...

Marvel, especially with the Russo’s, have definitely been showing things in trailers specifically to misdirect the audience.

I’d bet on no armor if I had to make a guess but I’d prefer him armor with the possibility of a properly sized HT armored Thanos. The GotG Thanos is teeny.

Exactly. That armour is a scarecrow now. But you could be right about the mis-direct.

On the other hand there are also theories that Thanos won't be the big bad in End Game. He achieved his goal. The Gauntlet is broken. It's not like he is at war with the Avengers and will try to find them. All he wanted was the snap. Therefore there could be some other new threat to lead into the next movies.

Still, if there is time travel involved, there's a decent chance of seeing Thanos in the armour from the past. But definitely no gauntlet. I wanted him with the gauntlet, that's why I've pre-ordered this version. No armour needed with the Gauntlet. Represents the whole movie to me.

I hear everyone mention this other threat but not seen anyway say what it is. Anyone want to say in spoiler tags.

From about the 22 min point. This show is actually pretty cool. Robert Meyer Burnett is a 1/6 Hot Toys collector, they have a different figure from his collection each week. Campea can get a bit too much sometimes, but in general I like him. RMB certainly has amazing comic book knowledge. Watching him and Schnepp on Collider Heroes was amazing.

Watch the whole thing if you like discussion on comic book movies.

Indeed, from the IW Art Book

It was also in Infinity War itself

which they point out in the commentary is an homage to the comics where Thanos makes a scarecrow from his armor
