EDIT: Is this a surprise Game of Thrones fig?

[hunnipot85]

Body looks much better, not sure what I think of the head sculpt yet though...

[Jedah Kalm]

No helmet? Does he not wear it in the movie even once?

[naria]

Outfit looks good. Undecided about the head sculpt, too.

[SixthScaleEdward]

No helmet? Does he not wear it in the movie even once?

Nope

fig looks like my mother in drapes :monkey1

I like the new body though

[mikericm]

Looks Good. HS is better than the first, but still not great.

[Walker]

That doesn't look like Chris Hemsworth in my eyes..

The body and outfit look good though.

[TeXaZMsM87]

Looks a bit off to me.

[SixthScaleEdward]

I'll be honest and say i wish i kept the original (THOR movie) headsculpt..

oh well, it's sold and i'll get over it :lol
wanted the avengers outfit anyway

[Alainator]

All I have to say is, "WOW!"

[hunnipot85]

Looks Good. HS is better than the first, but still not great.

I prefer the likeness of the first sculpt, but the expression sucked. That one looked more like Chris Hemsworth though, imo. I'm worried what they'll come up with for ScarJo now :lol

[greygoose]

Specs added.

[Walker]

I prefer the likeness of the first sculpt, but the expression sucked. That one looked more like Chris Hemsworth though, imo. I'm worried what they'll come up with for ScarJo now :lol

True that, first the Chris Evans and now this... :slap

What hapenned? They did a great job with Nick fury and hawkeye. :monkey2

[highlander1]

His uniform look's top notched with more detail in the chainmail brighter ,gauntlets better ,pant's meh ok, cape nice ,head grittier then 1st version,boots way better wasnt gonna buy but must a welcomed thor very cool........1st hs was closer but might change my mind after i see it saturday .....

[SixthScaleEdward]

nice to see the tessaract containment device/transporter

:goodpost::exactly: though im hoping this would be cheaper than cap given the fact this comes with way less

[Dracula]

Why did you start a new thread????

[ShortRound]

WTF happened to the head sculpt? Everything else looks great!

[greygoose]

Why did you start a new thread????

Always happens when it's officially live.:wink1:

[The Mike]

The figure is awesome, I like the bulk and the overall look but the sculpt looks nothing like Hemsworth. The first attempt did it better. This reminds me of the Superman 2 in 1 where it looked nothing like Routh but looked like and was a great Superman figure. This looks like Thor to me but nothing like the actor if that makes sense

[darkknight]

Hmmm, body and costume is a improvement. This should be a $189 figure.

[Jedah Kalm]

Why did you start a new thread????

Just the way things are done around here. When the official pics/specs come up, a new thread is created even if there is one already discussing said item. It helps others to immediately realize that the pics/specs have been released.

[Alainator]

I noticed his hair color looks "shinny" gold/blonde. Looks cool and more realistic. better than the first one.

[gaijin san]

Yikes! That HS is appalling! And no sleeveless/capeless/casual Thor look? And only one HS, no laughing/smiling face? Considering how often he's laughing/smiling, that's a wasted opportunity.

On the other hand, outfit looks good and its nice to see the tessaract containment device/transporter but all in all, FAIL.

Pity, this is the first Avengers fig I've been disappointed by.

[The Entity]

The outfit looks awesome! Absolutely great! A major improvement over the first one :clap :rock

The headsculpt... Well, I could always try and give him the headsculpt of the first Thor fig, because that is the superiour one IMO.
This just doesn't look like Hemsworth to me. I really, really hope they fix that headsculpt. :pray:

[The Mike]

Hmmm, body and costume is a improvement. This should be a $189 figure.

I guarantee you this will be the same price point as Cap.

[mojo customz]

cap with no gun
thor with no helmet
its like cheese lovers with no cheese

[gunm]

I think this one is better than the first one, however marginally. Better expression, bigger muscles, ankle articulation. Dang it, how am I going to afford Hulk??? Grrr.....

[darkknight]

I guarantee you this will be the same price point as Cap.


:mad::gah::gah: I'm in denial

[EnzoGorlomi]

Hair looks like Abigail whistler....long sculpted hair is weird

[galmando]

The outfit looks really nice and straight away i can see the difference between this and V1 so i've no problems getting thid and keeping the other

As for the HS, the hair looks nice, but then his hair is different in the avengers than it is in thor, longer and less kept

The HS is nice, i'll agree that the expression is a lit better, it's the nose that throws me off, Hemsworth has this kinda button nose thing going on, on tgis it looks very defined and almost pointy (?)

In fact it looks a bit like Karl Urban

But i love it anyway cuz i can tell it's Hemsworth anyways, there's always gonna be the slightest of details off as it is such a tiny thing to sculpt when you think about it

[Alainator]

Anyone knows what time does the pre order starts on Friday? 11am? 2pm?

[Slp bishop]

WTF no helmet I may just put the head from the first on this body very disapointed In the sculpt and lack of helmet

[King Darkness]

Arms look better, but that's about it. Underwhelming.

[Dracula]

Just the way things are done around here. When the official pics/specs come up, a new thread is created even if there is one already discussing said item. It helps others to immediately realize that the pics/specs have been released.

Always happens when it's officially live.:wink1:

Sometimes I understand the people who get tired of the countless Hot Toys threads... Lol.

[wofford29]

Head sculpt looks terrible.

[sandysuicide]

I'd been dying with the idea of HT making an Avengers version <3 this has seriously made my day and thank god i hadn't bought the Thor's movie version, though i still may buy it in the future. Now all I need is a new Black widow :panic:

[The Entity]

I think it's the brow that's throwing the sculpt off. It's too pronounced or something. Fix that and they have a way better likeness on their hands.

[TeXaZMsM87]

I'm just glad this didn't blow the first figure away. Now I won't be tempted to get another Thor figure and can save up for the green beast.

[darkknight]

I'm still keeping my Thor v1 and also getting this Avengers Thor

[Frank]

Too bad I'm beginning to expect mid level HS from Hot Toys anymore.

Looks like Leonardo DiCaprio from some angles with hair done by Dog the bounty hunter's stylist.

Nicely done though. He looks brutal!

[bandito]

Sometimes I understand the people who get tired of the countless Hot Toys threads... Lol.

Just edit the first post will reduce numerous threads.

[King Darkness]

I'm just glad this didn't blow the first figure away. Now I won't be tempted to get another Thor figure and can save up for the green beast.

The only thing better than the first one, imo, is that arms. Otherwise, its not that good. Proportions are off. HT bulked up the arms and upper body, but left him with baggy pants and bird legs. Looks too top heavy. And the sculpt isn't much, if any, of an improvement.

[Centrocal]

They should have gone with rooted hair.

[Balrog]

Damn it, I was really looking forward to this one. We'll see how it looks once released. I wonder why they sculpted Leonardo Dicaprio instead of Hemsworth...

[gaijin san]

They should have gone with rooted hair.

Never. Rooted hair is never the answer.

[Balrog]

Too bad I'm beginning to expect mid level HS form Hot Toys anymore.

:mad::mad::mad:

[DFanatic]

Ok, since you guys are so polite I'll say it. HS looks like trash! The figure overall looks better than it's predecessor but come on, you can't deny that that headsculpt doesn't look good.

I'm disappointed I even woke up for this.

[The Mike]

Kojun? Didn't he ____ up Indy's portrait too?

[highlander1]

other then uniform kicking *** why no bare arms like a lot wanted.........I guess thor 2 movie will get that version in 2015...

[DFanatic]

You know, I cannot even bring myself to make fun of the people that bought the first one, ha ha. That's how bad this headsculpt is.

[Centrocal]

Kojun? Didn't he ____ up Indy's portrait too?

Nope Arnie Kim.

[hunnipot85]

Kojun did Wolverine I think... (a headsculpt I liked, but a lot of people said it didn't look like Hugh)

[gaijin san]

Such a disappointment, there's just too many issues for HT to fix before release, HS is way way off, no option for bare arms (and if this is a new scale fig we can't even swap it it for another style TT, am I right?), only one HS...

:Flush

[hunterelf]

HS looks like a brother from the KP muscular body

[Clau]

Too bad I'm beginning to expect mid level HS form Hot Toys anymore.

Looks like Leonardo DiCaprio from some angles with hair done by Dog the bounty hunter's stylist.

Nicely done though. He looks brutal!

My thoughts exactly, hope they price him properly given the bare accessories.

They could still change the HS.

[hunnipot85]

Am I the only one who thinks his head looks too small in some of the pics? Kinda pin-headed??

[schokolade]

WTF no helmet I may just put the head from the first on this body very disapointed In the sculpt and lack of helmet

why are you even asking about the helmet when you obviously haven't watched the movie yet? noob

[highlander1]

this if anything can greatly help 1st version bashed together for a great thor but all good will buy but 1st hawk-CAP-IMN-FURY-THEN HULK'S.........

[schokolade]

another thing why his head looks slightly pin headed is because his neck is too long...shorten the neck, his head would look wider

[Silasya77]

Head looks a bit too high up from his shoulders. Makes his arms look too low. Headsculpt could benefit from blonder eyebrows and beard, too. Regardless I don't think it's enough of an improvement to warrant a purchase. Thought this would be my first Avengers figure, but I guess not. Hope Loki turns out better.

[devastator's balls]

Am I the only one who thinks his head looks too small in some of the pics? Kinda pin-headed??

That's kinda how I see it too, looks way too small compared to the rest of his body

[Darkseed]

The close ups look decent but the far away shots look off / too pale.

[plasmid303]

LOL That head sculpt is hilariously bad.

I really did laugh when I first glanced at those pics.

I clicked on the thread, excited to see this figure, and then I just burst in laughter.

It is awful. Awful. Anybody who knows my posting habit here knows that I'm not quick to spout hyperbole, but...

This is the worst sculpt I've ever seen from hot toys in a long, long time.

[skeemer]

Body is great. Really not liking the mean expression they been putting on them.

[Dave_W]

Meh. It looks like DiCaprio in a wig and I'm not digging the Goldilocks style curls at the tips of the hair. *****!

[Centrocal]

Gentlemen, to your Photoshops :lecture:

[hunnipot85]

Body is great. Really not liking the mean expression they been putting on them.

Yeah. Widow better not look like she's on her period. :( :lol

[greygoose]

After the drive to work and reflecting upon the pics I think there is something deffo off with the headsculpt. I was really hoping we would have two headsculpts with this too.

[plasmid303]

Oh man, I just now saw that it was sculpted by Kojun. Not one of his best efforts.

[chRd]

they botched up cap's HS, now this. but then again, good thing my money is going to this, not the first version

[toylion]

Yeah. Widow better not look like she's on her period. :( :lol

She looked fantastic on Leno last night. What a class act.

[gdb]

Wish he had his helmet but still he looks great!

[greygoose]

Wish he had his helmet but still he looks great!

Accurate to the film atleast.:lol

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Head looks weird IMO. Can't quite put my finger on it, the symetry of eyebrows? Length of the head? Too small for the body? Something just doesn't seem right :dunno

[greygoose]

Something just doesn't seem right :dunno

I think that's just the Hot Toys way these days.

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I think that's just the Hot Toys way these days.

Is it because they are rushing these out? The masked Cap looks great but not the teeth flaring one or this IMO.

Other than the head this looks great :)

[IXI Nick IXI]

I still like the original head better...and the hair....

Everything else looks great though!

[DinoLast]

What a great sculpt of Leonardo DiCaprio

[elvis1976]

He looks like Di Caprio, likeness isn't really good.

[Gipetto0812]

Headsculpt is too small and looks weird in terms of likeness. It's definitely going to need some tweaking before its release. Body looks good though

[cokebabies]

Head looks weird IMO. Can't quite put my finger on it, the symetry of eyebrows? Length of the head? Too small for the body? Something just doesn't seem right :dunno

I can't figure it out either.

In some of the shots, it's pretty dead-on. But in others (most others), something is really strange. Not even stunt double closeness.

edit: I didn't notice Dicaprio, going to go back and look.
edit2: Yup, definitely see it now

[Hamanu]

At least I won't feel bad waiting for the next version to come out from Thor 2.

[schokolade]

the hair line is too deep and the top part of the hair looks too flat.. looks like he's trying to defeat loki using a good hair brush

[Johnny Utah]

That sculpt is not Hemsworth. Bring on Tony. He owned the film as usual.

[Spiderwebb13]

Looks fantastic other than the headsculpt. Just does not look right.

[Centrocal]

No sleeveless costume :monkey2 maybe they're saving it for second figure :dunno

I knew he would have no accessories,and they threw in some kinda tennis ball canister or something?:cuckoo:

They could've added the extra chest armor and Gauntlets :slap

[King Darkness]

http://ifyouforgetme.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/karl_urban_eomer.jpg

[Piperita]

It's the shape of his jawbone and the puffiness of his cheeks. His face is... a bit to square for Hemsworth. That's why in some pictures you can see a likeness - where you can't tell how low and wide his jaws are.

... Then there's how in-set and close together his eyes are, how short his nose is, and how small and close to the nose the mouth is. Basically, pretty much everything is off.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I think he looks great. Just, you know. It's kind of not really Hemsworth.

[EndoSickness]

I like the sculpt very much and I'm not seeing Leo in it, but I'm Brett sad that it is THAT low on accessoires!!!
Really hoped for the sleeveless look as an alternate...

[Centrocal]

Anyone else think the nose is off center ?

[gaijin san]

http://ifyouforgetme.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/karl_urban_eomer.jpg

:goodpost::exactly:

[TotalDominAsian]

Haven't seen the movie yet.. but I'm already unsure about his hair. In almost all of the action pictures, HT is only showing it from one side of his face. The side of his face with the exposed ear seems to make it weird to pose him with that side visible.

[gaijin san]

I have no problem with HSs that put some feeling into the character, I thought the Thor v1 was far too dull in expression and I think the Avengers Cap unmasked sculpt looks great.

But this is just bad.

I'd love to see what Yulli would have made of this...

[badrat]

Body looks much better, not sure what I think of the head sculpt yet though...

:exactly::exactly: Won't stop me from POing it though. I like it enough to buy.

[7166charlie]

i actually really like the headsculpt and am glad ht are going for more expressions and aggression in their sculpts, body looks awesome and i seem to be one of a select few that can see Hemsworth but you never know guys this isnt final product sculpt may vary,

[elvis1976]

THe more I look at this, the less I like it.

I'm happy with my reworked V1.

[EXOTICLEX]

Looks Good. HS is better than the first, but still not great.

you need to get your eyes checked....this hs looks nothing like CH.....more like Josh Holloway/Karl Urban.....wow....go back to the drawing board on this one Hot Toys...>Can you say....RUSHED....

[EXOTICLEX]

http://ifyouforgetme.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/karl_urban_eomer.jpg

lol....didn't see this before my post but you nailed it KD.....looks nothing like CH but just like Karl Urban...

[Rainpaulo]

Don't like it at all....easy pass....the head sculpt from first one is a lot better...will stick with my first Hot toys Thor which is a very under rated piece. Missed opportunity from HT.

[CTO15]

I feel like both Thor and cap are suffering from being too pale.

I think the V1 Thor does have the better face, but this Thor has the the better everything else, damn you hot toys, now I have to buy 2 figure to get the ultimate Thor figure

[gaijin san]

?...The main problem is the eyes and the eyebrow. I made a comparison pic of real life Chris. This might be the reference photo as well for the Hot Toys sculpt.

I added the 1st Thor HS as well for full comparison

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l197/riverspoons/Rspoons/Thor.jpg

This is spot on! Excellent comparison. :clap
Forehead too high, brows too pronounced, eyes too small and too sunken, nose too straight, nostrils not arched enough, the point of his jaw is too low, chin too broad._

In short it's just all horribly wrong. Please, please HT get this sorted before release!

And sleeveless look too.

[ryanbayliss]

Initially I thought the HS looked really bad. But after seeing the HS next to the real thing I think it's pretty good. Maybe the forehead is too high. It's a damn sight better than the first version.

[rdc2]

I like Thor in helmet with the first Hs...

[Dr.Mirakle32]

After seeing the movie, I'd prefer the sleeveless look. I wonder if the chainmail sleeves can be easily removed.

[bandito]

SRP: HKD1,280
POP: HKD1,230
VIP: HKD 1,150....

Same price as The Boss & Naked Snake @ToyHunter HK.... so going by that standard... SSC may charge USD215...

[Veil1]

While the head sculpt is off, what makes me weary of this figure (and all hot toys figures with this feature), is whether or not the armored arms are rubber or some sort of cloth. They look like rubber, which possibly leads to deterioration. With Hot toys jacking prices higher and higher, you'd think they would resolve the issue.

[gaijin san]

I'd pay $215 for this happily if they fix the HS, add a laughing HS and sort out the sleeveless look.

Otherwise I'm seriously considering passing on this guy.

LOL!! I knew i was right! Leonardo DiCaprio? Nah, i said early on Karl Urban

Somebody get me my medal!!!!

[elvis1976]

The sleeves looks more sculpted to me.
DOesn't look like the same material than the first version at all.

Pretty sure it is rubber unfortunately.

[Coriolis]

I was wondering about the HS. It doesn't look great on the pics where his head is tilted down. Indeed reminds of Dicaprio.

But it's good when looking straight in front of him. Then, it has less shadows under his eyes and it looks more like Hemsworth to me. Lighting during the photoshoot could be deceiving. I think it'll be even better in person with natural light.

Only nitpick would be the cape being slightly too high above the shoulders for my taste but this should be an easy fix.

[galmando]

I've read so many posts in this thread complaining about the whole helmet issue

For those who have and those still waiting to comment on such issues, give it up!!!

See the movie, come back and then post

You should know by now that Hot Toys tend to tailor their figures and accessories to specific movie and scenes from within that movie

So if there is no helmet, that ain't their fault. This not a Thor re-release, this is Thor as represented in The Avengers

... or various other actors/characters as they appeared in different films depending on what you think of the HS

[Custo]

Only reason I'm picking this up is because I don't have the first one. The sculpt looks like Leonardo DiCaprio more than Chris Hemsworth to me.

[bandito]

Better patterns... or various sizes in different locations .... but just like the first...
Specs:
- One (1) dark blue-colored with red stripes garment and silver-colored patterned long sleeves

[elvis1976]

Well we will see.
If it's like the first version they must have used different muscle arms.

Cause I make the sleeves more thight on my V2 and no way it is taking the shape of the arms as good as this one.

That is why I leaned more to sculpted sleeves.

[Hydeous]

Sculpt looks really good, IMO.

[lord-22]

as expected we have a piss-off steve rogers's headsculpt

and a slighty enoyed thor's headsculpt

should be the other way around

[andrewm]

i like this version better than the first one.
also, just got out of the movie and it looks like im picking this guy up along with the rest of the team!

:goodpost::goodpost:

at last someone speaking sense, wish people would stop moaning about the lack of helmet he only wore the helmet in Thor for about a minute and that was only to appeal to comic fan boys. In all honesty the helmet is ridiculous and makes no sense its far too over the top thats why the modern Thor doesnt wear it.


Im liking this Thor, i was a little unsure on the head sculpt, again the expression but its better then the plain dull look of the first :)

the main thing im disappointed about is the lack of accessories i HAVE seen the film and so know there isnt alot he could come with but it would of been nice to see something more or at least make it cheaper in price
the idea of a build a figure type is growing on me.

[RaZaTrOn]

I don't particularly like the headsculpt, I do think the first one has a better likeness, I think what ruins the sculpt is the brow, I don't recall Hemsworth ever having that kind of expression. in the film.

I wish it came with something else to make it more unique than the Thor figure. Nevertheless I don't expect perfection but i do expect this to be the cheapest figure, should really be cheaper than the original.


http://plasticandplush.com/images/2011/01/HT-Thor-05.jpg

Just for example this is what got before + Mjolnir rock and an extra hair piece. We get less here so it best be cheaper!

In some pics the HS looks like a pissed off transvestite in others it looks just okay. I don't see much resemblance to the actor though :(

FOR ME..This does look more like Thor than the 1st version, absolutely. If this is the same sculptor who sculpted Indiana Jones.. he is very capable, but.... His jaw line (side to side when looking head on) is to wide as seen in the photos above. He or who ever always seems to make the chin boxy when it should be more pointy. This is still a cool figure in my opinion and will most likely get him for my Avengers 1/6 Dio display I'm planning on making. It not nearly as bad as the flames burning for it now in previous posts.. but this is par for the course.

This looks much better already! I really hope Hot Toys make it better.

[Hamanu]

I think there's a logical reason why no sleaveless look. HT is ptoducing the avengers in their battle costumes. The sleaveless, capeless outfit is his "civilian" clothing, before he does his "By the Power of Grayskull" mojo.

Just as we get no Stark figure, Rogers in trousers and leather jacket or Banner, we won't, by that same logic, get civilian Thor.

[Biojex]

Everything looks pretty good. Headsculpt needs work....and I don't like any of the, arm raised poses...they look silly.

I think that the first headsculpt has more pros in relation to accuracy, such as the hairline, the jaw etc..

Whoever combined them is bang on the money, that is perfection.

I think you're partially right

You're explanation of why we haven't seen sleeveless Thor makes sense, and i'm inclinde to agree. But i DO think that we'll see 'civilian' Thor somewhere down the line

It's such a cool look and it is a different outfit so it's sonething for them to fiddle about with

There is 0 point of making a sleeveless and cape'less Thor figure separate to this one because you will be able to do that with the figure anyway. The same way all the dudes in HK get the pieces off to sell individually on ebay.

I like that touch up and maybe ht will change the sculpt but tbh if they dont im happy to have the current one i think it looks awesome in certain angles and i like the fact it has an expression to it

[DGTWoodward]

Just so that we can all see what has been done to the costume for the movie, I put this together. You can see that despite initial similarities, they are totally different designs...

http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk290/DGWOODWARD/ACTION%20FIGURES%202011/THORTwinFigurecombo.jpg

And secondly, someone commented on the previous, superseded (and now locked) thread, RDC2 I think, that the figure is out of proportion. I have to say that I agree. The position on the shoulders and on down the arms, is set way too low for the relatively high position of the head. This means that he either has the neck of a giraffe, or trapezius muscles like door-steps!!

It is there on all the pictures to a certain degree, but this one seems to show it up in such a way that i can easily highlight with some crappy outlines (drawn clumsily by me so be patient :pray:)...

http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk290/DGWOODWARD/THORedit.jpg

I am also not too sure about the girth of the figure. Have they used some version of an 'Arnie' body as the basis for this one? I know that the overall size of the 1st figure's arms came under dispute but now overall, he seem really seriously wide compared to the v1. Like they have listened to the constructive criticism from the v1, tried to address it but over-shot by a certain amount.

That aside, I like it. I will wait to see what the price is before I decide on POing it. I'd bet $215, the same as Cap:A. I cannot see it being any lower.

What do you think, rubbish art attempt aside?

[Balrog]

V1 head with V2 hair and body.
Better IMO.

There we go.

[kajobaldisimo]

This looks awesome and, to a good degree, an improvement over version 1.

But not enough to make me replace my old one. I love it enough to stick with it.

I must be crazy (or sane), I haven't committed to any HT Avengers figure yet...

[galmando]

You could do that, except it wouldn't be anywhere near accurate as his 'civvie' outfit is completely different, the torso, the cape lining and even the gauntlets

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m291/galmando/e92cf6f3.jpg

I think we will see this in time. This outfit is as different to the battle costume as is the Thor v1 to the current Avengers suit.

The first one is better in every respect from the middle of the nose upwards.

The new one has too big a forehead/hairline is too receded.

Eyebrows are way too arched, eyes are wrong...

Then face is too 'full', chin shape not quite right


Sometimes a sculpt can be off in all these areas but still have a good likeness to actor, not so in this case i'm afraid.

The only thing better about this one over the v1 is the hair IMO

[bobamike]

That head sculpt looks more like Leonardo caprio with long hair. Maybe he will be Thor in the next Thor movie, so hot toys is bringing his likeness out now so we won't fuss as bad then.

[Frank]

This is the new Hot Toys guys and gals which means that all criticism on headsculpts will be immediately forwarded to the team who does the next version of the same character in a few years.

We got a nose bridge that isn't long enough, a receding hairline, and finally the patented Hot Toys look of seriousness (brows always forced into a "V"). Are we getting to the point when the best part of these reveals are the teasers?

Make it worth my while to trade up on my orignal Thor, HT!

[olvidadero]

Great looking figure. Just not Chris Hemsworth.

[Ash Housewares]

I'm seriously considering picking up the original releases of both Thor and Cap and getting the rest of the avengers line.

[ryanbayliss]

I'm glad most of you don't like this. More of a chance that I will be able to pick it up cheaper.

[Marvel-ous]

I'm glad most of you don't like this. More of a chance that I will be able to pick it up cheaper.

Yeah, the problem with that is that the vast majority of people who "don't like it" still buy it anyway. No coherence.

[hrambo001]

I actually think the figure looks great, the headsculpt too.

Having said that it'll be a pass for me. I have the original Thor version and to be honest there's not enough of a difference between the two to justify me dropping 200 bucks for it.

It's the same issue I'm having with CA, although at least there it's just a color scheme issue since the suit is new.

[Padrinno]

Do you think HT will change the face?? or is too late??

[carbo-fation]

He looks ugly!

[a-dev]

Haha! page 16! What a good guess! I knew when I came back online today the thread would be on page 16. I haven't even looked at the pics yet.

Yup, seems like the people not fond of it will buy it and those who do love it don't buy it lol

[tommyh84]

Price wise this should be cheaper than Fury and Hawkeye. The Accessories are next to nothing.

[Rzeznikk]

I think it looks pretty good. The likeness is slightly off, but Im sure it will look better in person. Some people saying it looks like Dicaprio or Orlando Bloom....Im not seeing it :lol

Im not the biggest fan of Thor originally so Im not really picky with this one.

[a-dev]

Not even joking - if I were looking to put together a Leonardo DiCaprio figure I would use this headsculpt with different hair. It looks incredible but IMO it looks every bit as much like Dicaprio as it does Hemsworth.

edit- ah going by Rzeznik's post I'm not the first person to say so.

[Calcifer]

Love the costume and the new body, I agree that the likeness is off so hopefully they tweak that some more before release.

He comes with very little doesn't he? they really should have included a dio stand of some sort to make up for his lack of accessories.

This is bye far the worst release in the avengers line so far but if I get it its just to comlete the line.

[RIDDICK]

Not a great update at all. At least previous figure had Hemsworth's likeness and helmet.
Here we have no base, no afload of acessories, no second head sculpt, no costume/body for display options...
WTF is this?!!?!??!??

SO far soooooooooooooooo disappointed.





- Authentic and detailed fully realized likeness of Chris Hemsworth as Thor
- Movie-accurate facial expression
EPIC LIE! :slap

[Bizzitty]

I was excited for this reveal....WAS...Head sculpt is AWFUL in my opinion, it looks nothing like Hemsworth in the movie....

I like the new body and the way the armor fits, but we get BARELY any accessories?? The first THOR came with his helmet, hammer, stone base, extra hands, display base and the Avengers version comes with Mjolnir and some hands...and a display base....and I guarantee he'll be listed at or around $220.....PASS :wave

OH...and I also think that the headsculpt on v1 was always fine and looks like Hemsworth as Thor, this one looks like a Thor cosplayer....

I normally don't have alot of hate for HT reveals, I mean in its own right it looks good, but the face sculpt is off, BIG TIME and with hardly any accessories, I'm out...I'll proudly display my THOR version with his glorious helmet!! I loved the helmet from the movie. Granted THOR never wears it in this movie.

Bottom line...the money I set aside for THOR is now going to HULK :yess:

If this were supposed to be a sculpt of DiCaprio my complaints would merely be 'can you shorten his hair?' 'Make him look less angry' 'make his stubble more patchy'.

So disappointed in this fig. I was really looking forward to it (figuring it would be an instant upgrade over the V1). Sadly it's not worth an upgrade....even for the body.

Seriously? JC Hong is the best art director in the business, some of the paint jobs HT have brought out of late beggar belief. Nobody else can do paint like Hong. Even on this substandard effort the paint effects are incredible even if the tone is too pale.

lol I just notice, looks like Hemsworth has a scar on his lower lip and Kojun sculpted it in. Funny how he picks up little details like that, yet the over all likeness is off :lol Definitely that massive forehead making it look like Leo :slap

[RIDDICK]

Seriously? JC Hong is the best art director in the business
Nobody else can do paint like Hong

Now you failed since HEAD-art-director and Painter isn't the same thing at all :lol

Actually, that would make a killer base for a Gangs of New York custom. If they give us a Daniel Day-Lewis Loki, then we're all set.

With all due respect to the HT crew, slow down and focus on each individual product more. You're tripping over your own feet here.

Maybe the stern expression is meant to capture dismay over his rapidly receding hair?

[tommyh84]

Already watching some Thor v1 headsculpts on eBay to put on the body of this new figure :lol

[a-dev]

Didn't Kojun sculpt Barney Ross (Stallone)? That was a great sculpt.

At least they gave him a really tall body this time. I like everything on this figure except the headsculpt. I am confident it will be updated. As long as we keep complaining :monkey3

[MarfMaster]

What the ____, all they had to do was get the likeness close and I would have bought, utter fail of a headsculpt. Hopefully it gets fixed before release.

How you gonna combine the hair with the v1 HS?

[DeaflyBlind]

Thought I'd have a play with it.

Just touching the eyes and hair line, I think, brings it a little closer to Hemsworth. But that furrowed brow really does hurt it.

A dremel and some epoxy putty.

Since we're being pedantic, when did I call him a painter? 'painting' and 'doing paint' aren't the same thing either. :slap

[Khev]

Dammit, now I'm apprehensive as to how Han and Anakin will turn out.

[BuffyGirl]

I like this new one. But I better be able to remove the sleeves.

I will still buy it either way.

[Khev]

If you meant the designers were "doing paint" like the Johnny Depp gif above then I totally agree.

[Centrocal]

Honestly, after seeing all the comparisons, the V1 doesn't look like Hemsworth at all. Neither sculpt captures him

[Khev]

This new Thor is definitely "buyer beware." People won't be able to give this figure away if they do a decent v3 in the future and since we're still missing the sleeveless look they just might.

[VS1976]

I like the body on this compared to the first one. The head sculpt is also better but it looks nothing like the actor. I'm gonna save my money and hope the Black Widow is better then this.

How can something that looks nothing like Hemsworth be better?

[BrooklynWolf X]

I swear, did the sculptor even look at ANY reference material? Wth?? It has hints of him, which to me means this sculptor did this based off of memory.

[JKKS]

Doesn't look bad (but not close enough to the actor). I'm just bothered by this head looking far too small on the body they used.

[KingGrayskull]

Will wait for the DX rerelease with helmet and without sleeves.

[Buttmunch]

I normally am happier with headsculpts and likeness from HT than most people here, but even I have to admit this one is very bad. If I had to guess the same sculpter who did Kevin Flynn did this. They aren't very good at guys with beards SO STOP USING THEM! :lol

This guy is in serious need of a resculpt. The V1 looks better actually! :google

[Firebird]

I will be getting this, but the HS will just need to be tweaked a little. Other than that, I like the overall figure.

I don't think it looks anything like Leonardo DiCaprio IMO.

[karamazov80]

Like others, my first instinct was confusion and then I couldn't help but laugh at the horrible head sculpt. I'm just glad I didn't sell my V1 after that initial side shot we saw a few days ago :lol

I'm thinking I'll keep the V1 sculpt, and use my modified helmet on the V2 body. . .funny that HT is forcing me to do more and more mix-matching and customization to get decent looking figures on the shelf.

Dammit, now I'm apprehensive as to how Han and Anakin will turn out.
Seeing their Indy and Luke didn't already make you a bit apprehensive about that?

[DinoLast]

Does tweaked mean thrown in the bin and totally re-done? If so yeah it needs tweaking

[kanine]

Yea, hope they fix the HS, and Thor looks like he has a giraffe neck.

[klocket]

When I first glanced at the headwculpt my mind instantly thought of this:

The first time around the arms were too thin. This time, his shoulders are actually way bigger than Hemsworth's.

[Predator1221]

If it had to be one or the other I would def. prefer the arms be to big rather than to small like the v1, but there is no reason they couldn't be the right size. This figures arms are just clearly way to big. If they tweak the HS a little or if it looks better in hand I will buy this figure for sure

[BuffyGirl]

Not quite. But I still prefer the new one.

This is actually more Accurate :D

[Khev]

Luke is good IMO. The clean head could use some work but the BD looks great. I honestly wrote Indy off as a giant fluke. But now with Thor....

Man, it's just one miss after another with Hot Toys lately, isn't it? While an improvement over the original release (only because at least this figure has some expression to his face), it's still not very good. Why is his Dicaprio head so small?

I got excited for this figure when we saw the second teaser photo the other day, but this is such an incredibly easy pass. Even if the sculpt was spot on, based on the limited accessories and possible poses, he's just so incredibly...boring.

[elvis1976]

Coz it doesn't look like him :)

They showed this among many other videos during our wait last night at the Drafthouse. Thought it was funny...

THANK YOU!!! It doesn't look like him at all...

[badrat]

I'm digging this Thor. He does have alot of Karl Urban in him, I admit. However, HT will figure out the HS, I'm not worried about that. They made him physically bigger, that's what I wanted.

Me likey!!

[tommyh84]

With all the other Avengers figures so far they've grown on me as the day has gone on, Thor is the exact opposite the more I look at it the more I dislike, in fact other than the paint work on the arms/chain I prefer my original in every single way :lol

[Darkseed]

I am generally the last person to see small faults but the size of the arms / chest is messing with the suit (from the pics). In addition, I like many think the hs is off. Perhaps better pics will prove otherwise but in my book HT has missed every (exposed) Avenger head sculpt thus far.

I want to buy these but I am not dropping the dough they want for average sculpts. The good news with Thor, it is pending licenser approval.

[Spanbauer]

However, HT will figure out the HS, I'm not worried about that.
You should be; to my recollection the only prototype headsculpt that improved for the better in the actual release last year was Superman; so that's what, one in 25 figures?. Every Avengers figure they've shown so far needs some serious help in the headsculpt department apart from Hawkeye; you think they're going to redo all of them?

[COSMOSTARX]

When does this bad boy go for preorder

[Spanbauer]

When does this bad boy go for preorder
Later today for $249. Why not, right?

[DarthTrafford]

This looks pretty good but it's still a pass for me since I have the first one.
The only Avenger figures I'm getting are Fury,Hawkeye and The Hulk.
If Loki is going to be the Avengers version I guess I'll pick him up too since it won't be the Thor version.

I like the figure and will definitley be getting it.

But just like Hawkeye, the missed on the eyes. In this close up, I think if you look at different parts of the face individually, they are very close. But when you get to the eyes, not so much. And the eyes make the over all resemblance just ok.

[hunnipot85]

Thought I'd have a play with it.

Just touching the eyes and hair line, I think, brings it a little closer to Hemsworth. But that furrowed brow really does hurt it.

Hey you could use the headsculpt for a Gangs of New York custom

Leonardo comparisons aside, that is a nice shot right there. Looks huge. :yess:

Its the eyebrows and the expression same with captains america with the mouth they are trying to move away from the basic emotionless looks but its a hit an miss.

Headsculpt looks really off to me :dunno

In some pics the HS looks like a pissed off transvestite in others it looks just okay. I don't see much resemblance to the actor though :(

:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl Nobody has even mentioned that the cape looks better.

Yeah, HT tweaks sculpts only intermittently. This isn't something that happens with most figures. If ever there was a figure that warranted that, it was the Indy DX figure, but they just let it ride despite there being a looong time between solicitation and release.
