Yeah I think the arm issues are going to keep it on the lower side.

 

[PopCultKid]

How bad has the arm issue been? Mine are still fine and I don't see many people talking about it here. Are most of the reports on FB? (I'm not on FB)

 

[PopCultKid]

Nice Joe

 

[Maxvoider]

mine its still fine

 

[Bjjer]

I think the potential is enough. The potential was there too for the IM pink panties but the fanbase for IM is huge, not so much with Thor

Current value is $300. Movie Masterpiece Series - Hot Toys Collectors Price Guide - CollectHT.com

Nice. I just sold mine for $300. Think I will go armored version when I have the funds...or should I wait for AoU?

If you want the one with the armored sleeves, it might make sense to pick up the Dark World figure. Based solely on the AoU trailer, Thor may be going sleeveless, exclusively.

^ Armored up....

Ahhh...but which one will HT make?

I got both, and sold the LAA version right away (also for $300). Both versions are great, but the armored one stood out for me much more than the LAA for some reasons of course, that goes under individual preferences). If you can get the regular armored for a price lower than its SRP (I got mine for $210), I highly recommend it

I was considering buying this figure but keep reading about an issue with the arms, can someone explain to me what is exactly this issue and what should I be looking for in case I decide to buy it?
Thank you

Skin/paint peeling off

 

[Centrocal]

Has anyone ever tried using this Thor body for the Bane figure ? would like to see how that looks

 

[jodl73]

I think the ones who have the problems are the ones who pose him like crazy. I pick one pose and leave him there. When I do pose him I don't bend the arms like all the way. If I do I don't do it repeatedly. These aren't G.I. Joe/Toys R us figures.

 

[egel]

Careful now, an assumption like that might make some victims to this issue quite angry.

 

[HeubertMichael]

Yeah. With reported instances of arms with paint peeling off RIGHT OUT OF A SEALED BOX, it's unfair to throw victim-blaming assumptions.

 

[therealjustin]

Definitely unfair, as I never had a chance to pose mine before getting that sinking feeling of disappointment. Both of my figures from Sideshow were already peeling when I opened them.

 

[imaI2EAPEi2]

IVE GOT a loose light asguardian thor for trade, looking for loki.

 

[The Green Goblin]

Ha ha, I thought that was a pic of the real Thor, until I took a closer look.
