finally picked a pose for my Thor until I get my helmet. I painted the chain-mail a much more silver color with some gloss. I also glossed over the forearm guards and the "grey" parts on the shin guards and the thing that wraps around his leg
That is actually Chris' little brother Liam.
you should post pics of the mods you made (with decent lighting please )
Who interestingly enough is putting into Miley Cyrus. Just a little useless information for you.
will do once I can get some good sunlight. It's been pretty cloudy recently and with the holidays and immediate birthdays, I haven't had the time to sit down and try to get the best that my skills can get me.
Plus, I'm not that great of a photographer. not like you Nick
Also, (and I know I'm firmly in off-topic territory now, so apologies) do you have any pointers on attaching the scabbard to the tiny, fiddly little chains? I've assembled everything else without breaking anything but I'm skeered of those tiny little chains.
Ahhh. Nice. I'll give that a try. I did something similar with the little blue knife-things. 'cept I cut up an ornament hook. Shoulda thought about that for the scabbard as well.
Thanks!
::we now return you to your regularly scheduled Thor thread::
Who's head is that on the Machiko figure's body?
Excellent photos, btw. An interesting background goes a long way!
When a non toy collector sees my shelf of Hot Toys the thing that impresses them most is Thor's metal hammer, it happens everytime, they pick it up and go "Oooh".
If I let them touch them that is.
I may be one of a few who don't particularly like this figure. First of all, I loved the movie, but the costume is something to be desired. I don't have a problem with the cape and tunic, but I'm just not diggin the "pants". I call them "pants" because that's what they look like. And Thor doesn't wear pants. He wears, what, blue leggings? tights? something more form fitting. Perhaps his leggings should have matched his "arms". I've seen some Thor concepts that show that chain-mail look. Real cool! Secondly, the boots just don't look right. I wished that they could have come up with something that looked like the comic, maybe a little more sleek. Hopefully we'll get to see a more improved look in the upcoming AVENGERS movie (fingers crossed). And then there's the Helmet. Though we all know they couldn't give him a spiked helmet with wings (as we're accustomed to in the comics), cuz that would look downright silly. This helmet isn't bad, but it's not great either. It looks big and should be more closer to the face, like Odin's. Now that is a great looking helmet. Hopefully they will improve this too. We'll see. Anyway, that is just my two cents.
