Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS176 - The Avengers: 1/6th Scale Loki -MOVIE SPOILERS!
Loki is my favorite character but the problem is that I only want him. Not getting the heroes would be weird, would it not?
Excuse the newbie posting here, but no it would not be weird. >

There have been very few times in my life when I was so instantly and viscerally drawn to a collectible, as I was to Loki. The instant I saw this - I think I found the teaser pic on Comics Alliance - I knew I was going to buy it ASAP and price be damned.
This will be my first Hot Toys figure - I only own one other high-end action figure, which is the RAH Carnage, another instant must-have - after a great deal of holding out. Years ago I remember seeing the original HT Blade; he was gorgeous! But I was all "We are collecting enough expensive stuff already, lets not start anything ELSE" and passed on him. Which was very stupid.
I have a serious.... thing.... for villains. Always have. Can't help it. Loki is so fall-down-dead, eye-gougingly just plain *gorgeous* that my only regret here is that he isn't 1:1 scale >;-) I was just sitting in the theatre, thunderstruck at such deadly elegance... this is one helluva mesmerising guy. Why would he NEED an army?! Just show up and use that velvety accent to proclaim your intention, Loki: the female half of the human race would have surrendered without a fight. Earth girls are easy.
I do kinda think that he should come with a Tesseract.... but I'm not buying the Fury figure just to get my hands on it. I might see if I can fabricate something. Shouldn't be too hard to do. I did laugh when someone on Facebook asked [in reference to this figure] "Where's the Tesseract" and someone else replied: "Who cares?!!" lol..... yeah, he's that mind-blowing.
I wonder if his height includes the horned helmet, or if that's a measurement from the top of his actual head? Hoping the latter... if we should get a 1/4 scale statue I am sooooooo doooomed..... I am also dreading having opened the Hot Toys "door" because now I'll have one, and this will make buying others easier since I'll have begun a 12" collection. Just what the checkbook needs....
This figure is not cheap, but here's my ugly little secret: I would have paid EVEN MORE to get him. Now comes the hard part - waiting till december to get him. I am gonna die waiting.
amen to that
