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

[DoubleTap]

The Avengers version is too pinheaded, the Thor version isn't as bad, even though it's skinnier. I'm changing the body out though, lol. The thing is, with the Thor version there is room to increase his size some, at least. Whereas the Avengers version you go bigger he becomes more pinheaded, lol. Still, I like both, I just prefer the first version. Which is a shame, b/c by logic Hot Toys should do much better a second time around.

Don't know if you've seen the Thor V1 thread but the V1 armor doesn't allow a body switch bigger than what's in there. I know, as I've tried to switch out the body to an ACI muscular one. The sleeveless versions you see are only arm transplants. If you see someone using a Dutch body the back of the armor isn't closed up as it should be.

When you bulk him up like I did with a body suit, he also becomes a bit of a pinhead especially without his helmet and his shorter hair.

What HT missed on the Thor version isn't his size, it's that they didn't add arm pads to his sleeves to give him defined arms like in his movie as well as the Avengers. Hemsworth doesn't have overly big guns as you can see in some of the production shots here, they're just "well defined" via muscle effects on his sleeve.

This was improved in the Avengers version by adding muscle pads which unfortunately contort to odd shapes when the arms posed in certain ways.

Thanks DoubleTap. Well it seems HT's has made the same mistakes again with Thor, just more exaggerated.

I just think like this; for $200+ a person shouldn't have to do anything to alter or make the figure look better. It makes very little sense to me that one of the biggest complaints with the V1 Thor is that he needed bigger arms, they gave him bigger arms and now people are buying V1 and spending more money yet to give him bigger arms. Why not just wait, we haven't even seen the figure in hand yet to say much of it. I would rather not cut or paint or do anything that I couldn't sell it for an upgraded version. In my opinion the Avengers Thor looks to be an upgraded version without doing anything to alter it but time will tell.

It's not like they didn't do a good job, different people just like different things. I like the Thor version because of the face sculpt and want to display him with Odin.

 

[ThorsThunder]

Thats true, it would go better with the Odin figure

Has anyone got all the HT Japan high res Thor pics? I can't seem to find them

 

[DFanatic]

Nope, just have a problem with attention whores complaining on something that doesn´t deserve.

Nah, the head sculpt is bad. It's not just a few people that think so. It's my understanding that a lot people will be passing on this (me being one of them).

Now, quit acting like a just another "favelado" with internet access.

Wow, still?

 

[eczamurai]

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".

Im exactly Hemsworth's lenght then, it's not too big, people in Holland are generally tall like that.

 

[RIDDICK]

Wow, still?

Why not? Figure still looks awful

 

[greygoose]

Not awful, but they did drop the ball on this one.

 

[RIDDICK]

That's for sure.

 

[Viking Spawn]

I think it looks fine now. What would you guys change about it?

Why bother asking, for real. Some people, if a random stranger came up to them on the street and handed them a dufflebag of $100 bills, would complain that the bills were not sequentially numbered.

There is no way everyone will ever be happy. In fact, a substantial subset of the population is literally impossible to please.

Meanwhile, I am looking forward to Thor and Loki.

Agreed.
