Hot Toys - MMS175 - The Avengers: 1/6th Scale Thor Official Specs and Pics

[DocTroy]

Don't get me wrong (see where I said I've spoken to their customer service several times? haha) I'm pumped for certain releases. Those being:

1. Bane
2. DX11 Joker
3. Thor
4. Hulk
5. MAYBE Wolverine (rather have the new film's version depending)

I'm anxious and excited. I want them now... but hey, I don't mind waiting. In the past month I've bought a Tumbler, DX12, AVN Cap, DX09, Superman and Hawkeye and also Flexed Bane and Joker. If I spent anymore money on these things right now I'd be divorced and castrated. Could I afford them? Sure... but lets be reasonable, I've spent over $1,500 on these things in 3 weeks! I need the break and welcome a few delays.

With everything slated for March I think the most realistic and comprehensive release schedule would be:

Late January: Bane
Early February: DX11 Joker 2.0
Late February: Thor
Early March: Black Widow and Catwoman
Late March: Spider-Man
Early April: Loki
Mid April: Camo Tumbler and Mark VII
Late April: Wolverine
Early May: Hulk (and I think that is being optimistic)

Thats not counting Ada Wong, BD T800, etc. Some of these can be interchanged, but with the heavy time frame of DX12, DX11 and Bane they might want to go with Marvel releases, which is why I pushed Catwoman after Thor and Black Widow.

DISCLAIMER: This is a purely speculative and opinion based list. It does not reflect my preferable release schedule or yours.

If I had my way it would be released like this:
Late January: Bane
Early February: DX11 Joker 2.0 and Thor
Mid February: Catwoman
Late February: Black Widow
Early March: Hulk
Late March: Mark VII
Early April: Loki
Mid April: Wolverine

then I don't care about the others, haha

This isn't taking into account Iron Man 3 stuff, Man of Steel releases, Pacific Rim, The Wolverine, Thor 2 and the rumored TDKR stuff. Heavy year.

What makes you say Catwomen released before Loki and spiderman was she not show after them

 

[DocTroy]

How often does that play a factor?

 

[pauholmes]

I don't care where are going all those speculations about the releases, I just can't stand that HT is holding back the Avengers line, almost a year later, c'mon HT!!!!

Judging by your board content you have a man crush on Loki... but hey, good thing that is MY list of preference and not YOUR list. That is the list, as it states, that I would be cool with.

And yes I'm aware what SSC website states for Bane and Joker, but hey... they NEVER change their release schedules, do they? Nope, never, not once, ever... wouldn't dream of it.

Wow no need to be such a **** just because people disagree with you

 

[DocTroy]

Hey look, the peanut gallery!

He complained about my list, which was my opinion based (not fact based).

No need to be such a **** and try to butt in. My logic is sound. His? Whines because Loki hasn't been released yet. Does it suck? Yep- but it's the nature of the beast.

BACK TO THE FIGURES NOW.

 

[tommyh84]

Ok you've obviously got an attitude problem, I'll leave you to it

 

[DocTroy]

Thats a matter of perspective- which your's is wrong. Complain about the release schedule of toys. I'll enjoy what I pay for and be grateful I can have the luxury to buy expensive products.

That would be true, if I were a man. Which I'm not. That would surprise the hell out of my husband though.

I'm glad ~you~ like your list, I think the rest of us will pass on your list. Which thankfully, is not official. Catwoman is not going to be released before Loki and Hulk, lol. You will be lucky to see her before the end of this year.

PS: please stop "whining" about Bane and Joker, ok? See how that works....? No...?

Wow, what is wrong with you? Also, apostrophes denote the possessive. If you want to nitpick we can start there.

Guy thinks he's better than the rest of us because he served in the US military and that somehow makes him more moral than us.

He's a sad ignorant man, let him be.

Back to Thor, I think he is one of those characters that would benefit from having real (fake) hair instead of sculpted which would help with his head articulation. Though with his long neck, that doesn't seem to be much of a problem. But aesthetically, real hair's better innit?

 

[RaZaTrOn]

If it's like the Black Widow from Iron Man 2 then no.

 

[yongkykun]

If it's like the Black Widow from Iron Man 2 then no.

But that was all a lie. HT didn't make the figure, Mattel did under HT's commission

On a serious note, I think they fixed that on Avenger's Black Widow. Besides, we haven't seen a figure of a bloke with rooted hair from HT yet and Thor (and Loki, actually) would be great with rooted hair imo.

 

[Boba Ben]

I respect your opinion, but I'm glad Loki and Thor have the plastic hair.

 

[yongkykun]

Well they do look alright. It's just that I saw a modded Thor from the first movie with rooted hair and it looked better. I suppose sculpted hair does last longer anyway...

Rooted hair is a nightmare, be glad Thor does not have it.

Its very difficult to get in scale with these smaller figures, often comes from the factory with borked-up styling, and is often loaded with stiff hairspray or gel or whatever crap they put on it. Washing the product out leaves you with an uncontrollable mess. I have seen way too many struggles with rooted hair to want HT products to have it. Sculpted hair FTW.

Didn't know all that.

Thank you.

Futz!

Sculpted hair on something this long would've looked terrible.

It could've been sculpted for this release since it's short... but if it's anything like Thor, it would be hideous. God is Thor's hair hideous. So bad.

Sure you can futz it to make it look good but with the prices we are paying for these figures they should come looking right with no futzing required.

 

[Privyet]

Oh yeah baby, I wanna futz you till the sun comes up.
