Would much rather get a figure of her in her actual armor, otherwise this looks to just be Valkyrie in name only

A) In the MCU, the "norse gods" aren't actually really gods.

I don't know about that. Thor literally claims she is the goddess of death. And Hela herself (who we can rightfully assume is very old, powerful and most importantly knowledgeable ) asks thor what he is the GOD of. She most def wouldnt use that term loosely and knows what she is talking about im sure. They may be soft retconing the whole god thing. At least for special asgardians.

I took Hela's overlay comment in the trailer as being a swipe at Thor in the sense... as well as being a bit of fan service nod to fans of the history of Thor. (Taika is good at fan nods)... Throw in some footage of Thor going into Lightning mode for good measure..

There might be a bit of soft retconning though mind you. This series does seem to push the boundaries of "being grounded in reality" each time they add another movie to it. Arrow on TV became pretty guilty of flipping reality grounding on it's head too.

Well "gods" could simply mean powerful beings, and no doubt the Asgardians are such. My point is that the MCU essentially explains that ancient norse people deified and mythicized whatever they happened to learn about the Asgardians. So in other words, Asgardians are not everything the norse mythology says they are or are "gods" in every way we might typically think about "gods". For instance, as Odin points out in one of the films, Asgardians are not immortal; though they obviously live a long long time.

does she have the war paint when wearing the other costume?

 

[Josette]

I don't think she does when she's wearing the white.


I'm doubting I'll get this with the rubber arms - I try to avoid them at all cost. Not into the fear of tearing and/or rotting rubber and being unable to pose without worrying about a $240 collectible falling apart. Wish they had chosen the white costume, with covered arms.

 

[Dino_Ranger_White]

Wish they would have gone with the white costume, after seeing the trailer.

No pegasus, no sale!

 

[HTHero]

If any figure from Ragnarok gets the axe I hope it's this one. It's so plain, and it's not even the characters best look from what we've just seen in the trailers.

I don't really plan on getting ANY of them though to be honest, save for Hela, but HT has teased us with villains they never release before, so we'll just have to see what they do and don't make :/

However, since Hela seems like the big villain in this movie (as she is very prominent in the ads and trailers) the chances of her being made seem decent.

Same here. I just think it's such a much more interesting look than this one.

 

[Josette]

I may end up just sticking with the Legends version, as I will get some of them. Both Valkyrie and Hela are up in the air for me - I wait until seeing the movie and deciding if I like the characters enough for $230. And the rubber arms have put me off this one.

 

[Billion]

No pegasus, no sale!

White armor + pegasus would look incredible. I'd seriously consider it even if I don't end up liking the character.

Boo Marvel Legends. HT or bust!

 

[Lee in MI]

Marvel Legends is the only sure thing for these two figures to get released. HTs is a "maybe" at best.

Very slim chance Hasbro will cancel once they've been shown. HTs...hmmm, not so much.

I can also build a large collection of Marvel Legends figures without having to take out another mortgage on my house.

Collecting only Hot Toys keeps my spending and collection in check.
