Hot Toys - THOR

[Spartan Rex]

Thor perhaps Loki and call it a day. Unless this film rocks, two will be pushing it IMO.

Odin with spear and Ravens

Remember HT nbr one priority is the Asian market therefore, IMO we are lucky to get Thor. I am in a western culture and beyond Thor, Odin, Loki and Enchantress the characters are rather foreign to me...

 

[Spartan Rex]

After years of shoving Pokemon and anime down our throats you guys owe us.

There's potential for a broad line in successs. Sif heimdall warriors 3 destroyer frost giants etc.

 

[Sachiel]

I'm not buying it.
ALF wouldnt be able to go toe to toe with the Hulk.

How do you know?

Depending on who writes the comic, ALF could totally pwned the Hulk!

So, what price could we be looking at for this?

Due to the small amount of accessories and likeness of a near unknown actor, I'm guessing around $130.

Given the recent trend in Hot Toys pricing I wouldn't be surprised if the asking price was $189.

Be careful how much praise you give new items... You never know- HT 'people' just might read this forum, and set their price point based partially on the fanboy response found here.
So many people screaming 'Instant buy!' might encourage them to charge whatever they wish, because they've seen proof that people will pay it ahead of time...

Characters and names from Norse mythology are popular in Asian-made games like the hugely successful Final Fantasy series. While the specific characters from Marvel's Thor might not be well known in Asian culture, the names Odin, Loki, etc etc are.

Doesn't guarantee the success of the Thor movie or merch though haha.

That would count me out.

I love how we spend time ranking the strength of fictional characters then take it for gospel.

Although I hate to admit it, Charles Barkley is stronger than Godzilla. There is video evidence.

I'm predicting a pricepoint right near Spidey's. Probably $139.99. Spider-Man is a surefire seller and has the roofbase alternative. So far we've seen nothing but hands and realistically looking at the character and figure what else could they add?

I would also bank on just Thor, maybe The Destroyer as it'd be right up HT alley with the Iron Man style plastic body and light up functions. Past that for Loki, Odin, etc it'll seriously depend on how the movie does both in the US and abroad and the toy sales. I would think they'd have designs at the ready but I doubt anything gets greenlit until results are shown.
