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

[Ramatuelle]

I think the Tesseract container is too small

Sexcellent pic, and yes i agree that the container is too small. Now instead of all this waffling back and forth about Thor's headsculpt, this is an objection I can actually agree with.

I think the 7th strand of hair from the left upper wave should be going the other direction!!!






REALLY?????

 

[RIDDICK]

Cheers man.

Np

Hemsworth on the left, and a Klingon on the right.

Damn, both characters look like they just stepped out of a comic book cover. Perfect casting of those two, great set pict.

 

[Viking Spawn]

I agree that is an awesome set photo. Hemsworth looks way bigger for some reason too. I always thought Hiddleston was at least 6 foot.

I think he is, Hemsworth is just a big dude

 

[pauholmes]

TH is 6 ft 2 inch

I think the shadow of the figures are totally wrong. Hope HT can remade both figures from scratch.

I don´t need to have a wrong shadow on a figure I pay 200 bucks!

Yikes! Hemsworth is a huge guy! Wouldn't want to tangle with either of them actually!

....Now those are some TRUE Asgardians.

That tesseract pic is just all kinds of win; thanks, person who originally posted it.

Edit: Here is a very interesting article about superhero costuming. I absolutely disagree with his premise that all superhero costumes, even movie ones, are inherently lacking and visually bad - I think its *very* possible to have someone in costume and looking wonderful, as both Hemsworth and Hiddleston show above.

But its still an interesting article. To wear comics-based costuming, one much be perfectly fit and the costume must be the highest of very high-end... if you can meet those requirements, you have a chance. I will agree with him that most people cosplaying at conventions should cut it out, because they have no possibility of even coming near the character they have in mind.

That photo gives off that impression, but they are not that much different in height

 

[R3d15]

I always wonder that pic maybe is a deleted scene just before he gets his cuffs and his mounth piece

Notice Hemsworth is leaning forward just a tidge.... making him appear a few inches shorter. Not that both of them are not completely credible Asgardians anyways.

Hemsworth: beefcake
Hiddleston: tall dark and deadly

I think you're missing the point. No matter how good, you can never have someone looking AS GOOD as the figure in the comics. Those costumes are perfect, on perfect bodies. No wrinkles, no seams, hugging the body to ridiculous degrees. Costumes like Thor and Loki worked because they departed from the original design to make them more "real" but in doing so they ground the characters in a way that their comic counterparts are not.

One of the points the author was making is that NO ONE can possibly look good in a superhero costume. I dont agree: its very rare to see someone look good in one, but it does happen.

Some cosplyers can pull it mostly females they get in it the hair the tight outfits the guys should cut it out

No offense guys, but all I'm hearing is blah blah blah, lol. Movie costumes are either great or horrible, and Marvel ones are great. Yeah real costumes will never look like the comics, but why would you really want them to? You know how silly most comic costumes would look translated to the real world? I think Marvel has gotten the perfect blend, but it's taken a long time to find that balance. Why shouldn't people dress up? If they enjoy it who cares.

People should not dress up if it offends the eye of the beholder. And the author's description is a great example:

Chabon: "The appearance of realism in a superhero costume made from real materials is generally recognized to be difficult to pull off, and many such costumes do not even bother to simulate the presumable effect on the eye and the spirit of the beholder were Black Bolt to stride, trailing a positronic lace of Kirby crackle, into a ballroom of the Overland Park Marriott. This disappointing air of saggy trouser seats, bunchy underarms, and wobbly shoulder vanes may be the result of imaginative indolence, the sort that would permit a grown man to tell himself he will find gratification in walking the exhibition floor wearing a pair of Dockers, a Jägermeister hoodie, and a rubber Venom mask complete with punched-out eyeholes and flopping rubber bockwurst of a tongue."

Ouch.

 

[Science Friction]

I think people just need to relax, who cares, it's just people having fun, let them have fun. I think it's funny that people care or get annoyed/upset by it.

I found this website interesting.

https://www.celebheights.com/

According to it:

Hemsworth is 6'3"
Hiddleston is 6'2"

Both are much taller than I. I'm a runt at only 5'10".
