1/6 Hot Toys - Infinity War - Thor

Are we not sure that EG Thor won't be released then? Is that why everyone's getting the IW version?

Have you seen the movie ?

 

[medicomsucks]

I can't wait for endgame thor. He was my favorite part of the movie. I'll probably get two for multiple costume versions.

I thought Thor was really great in the movie. That's why I asked the question.

Yes I thought he was great too, but it's not the normal Thor you would expect. It could have been you hadn't seen it and thought it was just another new version.

In any case don't know if HT would really go there ?? Maybe further down the line if there is interest.

If hot toys play it smart they can basicly make their money double because of this movie

EG Thor (final version) reminds me of a Gimli like Viking hybrid. Should look great as a figure.

I think we get an eg thor, but I honestly see the figure being the same, new head and stormbreaker and that's it

Why not ? EG Thor is pretty much the most OP. Wielding both Strombreaker AND Moljnir. That's probably why I like him over IW Thor. He's a bit on the overweight side, but the armor covered everything anyway. He looked beastly man.

Yeah, I can't imagine wanting that version. Just terrible, I felt like I was cringing every moment he was on screen. Gotta wonder how much Hemsworth hates playing Thor to go along with that. Relieved I have this figure now.

It was actually Hemsworth's idea to be

fat and out of shape!.

I was holding out hope EG Thor would be awesome so I skipped this fig, but I think I may try to get this one now instead of the eventual EG Thor figure after seeing the movie.

If hot Toys were smart they would rerelease this one as he appears in the beginning of Endgame. But I want EG Cap and Iron Man so want Thor from it also, he's still badass, just made weaker.

Can't believe I missed out on this. Just watched the movie today. Hopefully I find one soon.

Oh you'll find one...I think what you meant to say is you'll be able to purchase one at a reasonable price.

 

[Rudimus]

Really want Endgame Thor & will sell the IW version for it, hopefully Hot Toys is just waiting to announce until most people see Thor in the movie.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

I understand why some people were dragging their feet on this but it's crazy that literally minutes after a figure sells out folks are already calling for a reissue[emoji38].

That said it's pretty rare for a figure to double in price overnight. Last time I remember this happening was when Carrie Fisher died.

 

[gmoney5000]

Just wait for the Asguardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Thor fig.

Sorry, but that's a dumb take on this, if you think he hates playing Thor. If anything, his arc since Ragnarok has rejuvenated his interest in Thor, and may be the reason why it's possible we'll still have more of him in the future MCU.

He spent four movies playing the exact same character and he was ready to quit until they finally made Thor one of the most interesting of the main Avengers.

I see so many people walking away from Endgame with the notion that "fat Thor" was just a visual gag for some laughs. And while they definitely played fun with it, Thor's physique is the ultimate statement on how low he's been brought by recent events.

In IW, we saw him on the brink; he'd lost his mother, father, brother, best friend, had to kill a sister his father had lied about, lost his home and nearly all of his people. He went on a last-hope quest to kill Thanos, and failed at the crucial moment. And THEN, they hunted Thanos down to reverse the snap, and THAT failed too.

He was broken. He had given up. That the actions of Thanos had crushed the spirit of even the mighty Thor was a testament to how devastated everyone was. But it's when heroes are down that they have the most interesting opportunities to grow and to change. There's nothing fun about watching a character just always win.

You can dislike Thor's representation in Endgame if you want, but dismissing it as simply a "gag" is a disservice to a fantastic performance by Hemsworth over the past three movies as the Avenger that has lost the most, and in a way has the most redemption to gain by finally defeating Thanos.

TL;DR= Endgame Thor is day 1 preorder for me if they do it.

Great summary! And yeah, I totally dig Thor's EG look!

This Thor was nothing but a parody of the character. It felt like ridiculous slapstick comedy, so no I don't consider my opinion dumb.
