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

[DGTWoodward]

Avengers Thor is in the same boat as the DX12 Batman. He can look really good if you're willing to modify the crap out of him.

No, you really don't to modify anything. You can change the arms if you want, and remove the sleeves but it is not necessary and it hardly constitutes anything 'major'.

Out of a line of outstanding figures like how the Avengers ended up, Thor is probably one of the best ones - along with Loki.

I've since sold my Thor for financial reasons but while I had him I personally thought he was a great figure, a good likeness and very impressive.

I should probably clarify that removing the sleeves and altering the body is something I consider "major", in that it's a lot more extensive and requires more parts than simply repainting or whatnot.

Cutting it close regarding the new Thor, huh? I guess beginning of next month.

I don't know why people hate the Avengers outfit. The Dark World one I thinks looks bland, monotone. The Avengers one is more colorful from a figure standpoint, and looks more closely to the comics. Looks more "superhero" than the Dark World one which is more primitive or "medieval" looking.
My guess, like Captain America, is for the individual movies they go for a more low key look. Then come Avengers time, a more stand out look. After all when you are fighting along side other high powered teammates. want to look your best and stand out more.

"Aye, and I, Thor, thwip thee"

Did you put a smaller body or arms? The arms look smaller and sleeves are wrinkled up. Not to mention the head looks big.

Ugh I wish I bought that Thor months ago when I saw him.

Looks like the chain mail from the first Thor figure

Thor. The red headed stepchild of the line. He doesn't get the love he deserves

<<<<< Photos snipped for space >>>>>

On the contrary, I love my THOR figure. I think he is a huge amount of figure for your dollar.

The Asgardian Brothers

​

Just look at the costumes of these two figures, like the overall intricacies of Loki, and the micro-writing on Thor's chest-plates. Thor is one of my favourites from the whole Avengers line, and I don't regret buying him for a second.

​

Agreed! I think Thor is fantastic! Never understood all of the hate on him either. Everyone has their opinion and as long as you like him, that's all that matters!

 

[Malgus]

Lot of the hate comes from owners of the inferior first Thor.

 

[boylost99]

This Thor is definitely the better one of the two, even if the sculpt could be improved.

 

[DGTWoodward]

Not from this owner of both.

I always liked the first one from the moment we saw the proto pics on the SSC site. Another item I have no regrets owning. Plus there is sentimental value attached too, it was an anniversary present from my wife. It was also our first purchase from my, now regular, UK supplier.

Is the Avengers Thor better? Well, technically, yes I suppose it is really. But that does not mean that I will ever hate it. Nor that I want to sell it on. I don't collect just to sell on a little later, that's not me. I love all of my figures, even the slightly less excellent ones.*



* As we are so spolit for quality of costumes, accessories and amazing head sculpts these days, that's how I prefer to look at things.

Except for Big Chief Studios's Dr. WHO Amy Pond figure.

Time to throw this one in the garbage like the 1st version. Make place for the 2 new Superior Hot Toys Thor from the Dark World.
