1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 224 - Thor: The Dark World (Thor)

[DarkAngel]

Yep, the discs on his tunic and the bits in the middle are of a slight gold which actually irks me and made me not wanna get the figure. But I was wondering if I could repaint it. I didn't even notice they were gold in the film till this figure came out.

Hmm wow I still didn't notice

Hmm notice the gold here now?

How in the...I seriously can't believe I missed that. Thank you

That is my least favorite part of the figure. I would much rather they stuck with silver,
the gold just looks gawdy and out of place with the rest of the outfit, IMO.

I also personally prefer the way the cape looks and attaches on the Avengers costume.

If my wait list converts, I will be putting the Avengers armor on this guy.

Haha you're welcome. What do you think of it?

Not a fan. I'll wait until I have it in hand but...

Oh no! I'm sorry to make you realize that. But that's the reason why I'm thinking of putting in an order and maybe repainting the gold parts. I don't know if it will look good plus I do not have the skills for it XD. So I'm debating whether or not to see what the AOU Thor looks like or possibly even waiting until Avengers or even Thor 3 to see what the costume department ends up with. Its such a gamble though.

The good still way overwhelms the bad though. I love this and can't wait to get it so no worries

Haha well that's good to hear! I don't know what decision I should make though. It's either this or start saving early for AOU figs

I have to start saving for AoU too. So excited as far as getting this goes...it is clearly the best Thor yet. Maybe get it then sell later? Unless the gold is a deal breaker for you of course

 

[Bttfiii]

I just googled screen caps and those parts are gold

The main reason I've been thinking about getting it is because I can get $100 bucks off him. Maybe I'll sell him if I end up not liking him in hand or something. I would hope I could be able to sell this for a good price in the after market like I did with Agent Coulson.

Yeah there ya go. Seems like a good plan to me. And who knows, you could end up loving this thing!!!

Not sure what the fuss about the gold is but heres some screenshots of the armor:

leaning towards keeping this version and cancelling the light armor as I feel like this is better representation of Thor. Please comment if you disagree....maybe it will help me make up my mind. All I want is one Thor that reps the comic book version with a modern take.

I'm not fussing. Just never noticed it until guy66657 pointed it out Doesn't change the fact that this looks AMAZING

The base alone is worth choosing the Light version over this (he looks amazing on it in hand). If you get one get the Light, unless you absolutely have to have the sleeves.
Now that the poncho comes with both, and the fact that the heavy only comes with a cardboard circle, it makes the choice easier.

...or get both!

Get the light version now. Will probably be the only sleeveless Thor ever. There will be at least 3 more armored Thors (Avengers 2,Thor 3, Avengers 3) down the road. And also what Rory said. Easy choice. Though ask yourself, what is Thor to you and how does he look like (as in sleeveless like classic comic, or armored like the movie and newer comic versions). I prefer sleevless. If he's a god/demi-god he doesn't need armored sleeves.

I really want to snag the light's base off Toy Anxiety.
