by Modern, there's been 2 Thor looks to come out within 3 year (I think)
Modern Thor (Heroic Age Look) - This is my favorite look to Thor
Marvel Now (Current Look)
Although both are wearing a helmet, so that's the only thing missing from the figures. So really, depends on what you think looks better. Who cares what others say.

Haha it's me being nitpicky, man. I like my Thor just being Blueish, and silver just like in the comics.

Just watched The Dark World again for the heck of it...It's crazy how much darker colored thor's chainmail looks in the film, with bits of the scale sticking out to create uneven texture. At times it looks almost black. I think that's what's off putting about the Hot Toys armored version - the sleeve is too silver and the pattern is too perfectly even. I think if they had applied some weathering on the arm it would push the armored version over the top 
That was a nit that was thrown around when this was first revealed, and I agree. I wish the chainmail was darker like it appeared on screen too
It boils down to which one you like better but maybe exclusivity, the rock base, how he appeared more in the movie or in your favorite scenes are things to consider in making a decision too

It's not up yet.
Nor will it likely ever be. TA doesn't part out exclusives unless SSC can't move them quick enough (ie the con exclusives) at lets retailers buy them. Considering this is wait listed, they won't be getting any.
Fuuuuuudge. I'm not paying $100 on eBay. Guess I'll be gluing some gravel together...

Also, I think it's only fair to judge these figures (either Light or Heavy) on their RRP. People will charge (and pay) whatever they want for collectibles.
Their value for money can only be gauged by their actual sale price, not their secondary market prices.
But regardless, they are both reasonably expensive for what you get.

Wolverine has two full outfits and his spare hands come with metal and "bone" claws.
They are all overpriced, yet we buy them anyway
This is the wooping truth. And buying them anyway is the exact reason why everything has become so inflated!
I've said it in several different threads recently, EVERYTHING in the high end 1/6 licensed game is $10-$40 overpriced (HT of course being the main culprit). I understand that things have been improving each year and the price would continue to hike accordingly, but I think they hit the plateau last year but prices continue to rise. There really is no way for me to make logical sense out of why the DX12 was $260, the DX11 I think was $275..... and Winter Soldier is $250
