1/6 Hot Toys - Infinity War - Thor

[subzro]

Seems like these don't sell out until after they are released if it's a popular figure. HT can increase production numbers up until the very end of a run.

Well I was thinking of waiting for my SSC rewards to settle, then I have around $70, so I"m just waiting till I get $100RP so I can get Thor. Do you think that will be too late? I don't know if this is gonna sell like hotcakes and sell out early.

I wouldn't start getting worried until much closer to the release date. I think you have time.

But another risk/benefit scenario for you. You can't use RPs on a Waitlisted figure, so in the unlikely event it sells out, waiting for RPs would've been futile.

Unless you never plan on ordering a figure from Sideshow again, you could use some of those pending points on another figure, right?

No one can say for certain how these figures will do. Recent trends show us that the more popular figures tend to dry up not too long after they're released, but generally still after they're released and not before. But IW is huge. But then they could be doing bigger runs because of it. Or they may remain conservative.

That said, I think most people here would tell you not to worry.

Oh ok, good, I'll still will try and go for those RPs to pay off Thor then. Ideally, I want to use the RPs as much as possible. Hope to get $100 more by the time Thor releases. But as you guys said, it should be ok. I don't really plan on spending the RPs on another figure, as I already pre-ordered Thanos and have a monthly payment for that already. The next figure would be entirely paid off with RP is what I hope to happen .

Totally understandable. Just keep an eye on it or on the forum around release time for delays or a low stock warning. But as long as you get it around when it finally comes out, you should definitely be okay. I have a feeling it'll be delayed, too, since most everything tends to be.

Thanks for the tip! I'm not usually a Thor fan, but Thor really stood out for me this film so I really want him in my collection.

Just seen this on Instagram. Not sure on how genuine but if it is it looks awesome.

I wish the eye patch was removable, the promo photos aren't accurate to the film.

Is that Rocket's eye?

Might be photoshopped. I know someone of Facebook photoshopped one.

The eyepatch is removable. It's magnetic.

He has no scratch on his face, above and below his eye in the movies, like shown on this head sculpt, but he does look that way on the Infinity War poster. Weird.

 

[Oddacon]

I'm 100% certain he does.

I like Thor with the eye patch look though.

Thor was the best character in IW and his figure will be the best Thor HT ever made. Definitely gonna pre order this.

I agree, along with Thanos of course....

and his figure will be the best Thor HT ever made. Definitely gonna pre order this.

Ummm, you mean in your opinion. While I didn't like the design at 1st, it has grown on me. But you can't say it is the best HT Thor, especially if it's not even out yet. And as a Thor fan, it's not even close for me by design. That still is either the DW or AOU versions. They seem to be the closest we will get to a classic comic book looking Thor figure in the MCU.

I never liked the Ultimates Thor and that's what Thor from IW closely resembles. Thor should always have long hair, and the proper Mjolnir, not the Ultimates axe version while giving it the name of Beta Ray Bills's hammer, but whatever. Obviously they needed a weapon with an edge as seen in the movie. His blunt hammer wouldn't have had the same effect in the climactic IW battle ending. But this has grown on me, and I really think I may add him to my Thor collection, especially after seeing IW.

Enjoy YOUR favorite Thor when it comes out. Mine will still be my DW version(s) with his proper look & the one true Mjolnir.
