Hot Toys: Thor - Thor Love and Thunder 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure

[a-dev]

Man forgot they were still using the same sculpt of AOU. Holy **** was this a lazy one. They've had better likeness with the Rag/IW/EG faces.... so weird to downgrade on a 2024 figure.

Yeah. While this sculpt was an improvement on the DiCaprio sculpt of the Avengers figure, it's looking a bit generic now.

I’ve been waiting for this to release so I can get a set of the new bare arms for a custom. Now just have to wait for it to get parted out stateside which will be a couple more months

While I’ve never had an issue with the AOU sculpt (I prefer to the Ragnarok/IW sculpts), it’s still pretty lazy of HT use it again. Though, I guess this was before they were actually feeling any heat, and therefore need to do better, from InArt. Shouldn't expect too much from them given how many times they also reused the same Tony and Cap headsculpts.

I’m surprised this didn’t get the rolling eyes like the Jane Foster figure will have, which likely be the only character I get from this movie. I would’ve liked Thor’s fur armor with moveable eyes.

Yea, it would’ve been nice of them to update the sculpt. However, Jane Foster only got the update b/c it appears to be a reuse of the AOTC Padme sculpt with new hair.

I'm gonna try and pick up the head and arms and put them on the IW body so I can recreate this look from LaT.

Ooof that’s a great idea - might do the same

Tempted by this as i don't have a Thor but i get the feeling the prices are going to drop a fair bit since movie wasn't best received and the costume is not 'classic' Thor.

For some reason TBA has the standard at a higher price than deluxe.

That happens sometimes with TBA. It probably means he has extra deluxe and is just trying to get rid of some.

It's because Standard is free shipping but Deluxe has shipping on top.

Standard - 2540 HKD Shipped
Deluxe - 2770 HKD Shipped

Can take 150 HKD off too by using code 150HKDSpecialA

I'll wait for the artisan avengers 1 version that is inevitable.

It should be a different sculpt. Last year there was an update that showed sculpts of Tom Holland for the final suit in NWH, Jane Foster, and Sheri from Wakanda Forever. I hope they don't re-use the AOTC Padme sculpt. To me that's underwhelming.

I think this will be around for a while, for the reasons you said and the sculpt isn't new.

Yes, count me in.

Yep, it should be a new sculpt, but more than likely isn't. If you compare the two sculpts and ignore the hair, you can see that the "updated" Jane Foster sculpt is the same as the Padme sculpt just under different lighting in the promo pics and probably slightly different paint apps.

Justin's review:



TLDR: He's mixed on it. Hates the outfit design, the figure is okay. Head sculpt isn't the best Hemsworth HT has ever done. Worried about the pleather on the pants, lightning effect pieces look like s***.

Haven't watched Justin since the TW fallout. I liked that review though. He didn't speak with his over the top character voice and voiced things he didn't like. Good review though, kind of what I expected. I'm glad I passed, but I definitely want a set of those arms.

Well I can accept the same sculpt. but with better paint application. Paint makes a big difference.

Yup agreed. Definitely want to get at least one set of those arms but would like to get a couple for previous releases and customs

looks like this HS won’t fit on any other Thor figure thanks to the magnetic attachment

Just ordered deluxe from TBA, price of deluxe reduced today to 20HKD above standard

I'm sure it will reduce further but my collection has been crying out for Thor so couldn't wait any longer!

Man this would have been a great look for a peak Thor representation on the shelf

I watched those reviews of the new figure and I don't like it. HT needs to make this b because that is THE Thor look for me. Or re-release IW Thor.

 

[Musashi3290]

I actually don't mind it now that I have it in hand. Sculpt is decent with proper lighting.

The masked sculpt is a giant pain to get lit, though. The batteries have to be installed inside the head approx 1/2 inch deep. Why wouldn't they make the insert removeable?

I might pick up a spare body to display both heads.

A roadworn 2.0 would be sick
