I dunno if they would include the gauntlet. It's not part of movie continuity, at this point. Has HT ever had an exclusive like that (plus, for the gauntlet to truly be epic, it needs to light-up, and no way is that going to be an exclusive)? I think the draw of this purchase is first iteration of Thanos and the throne. Next iteration will have the light-up glove and maybe something else, but no throne. I might just pick this up, display it for a few years, and then sell off Thanos loose with no throne when the gauntlet version comes out. That to me would be the perfect combination.
Yep, agreed that I don't want to wait another four years before having Thanos on the shelf. If I sell him after three years of display for $100.00, that's fine, IMO. I'll have gotten my money's worth by then, easily.
After Mark 3 die-cast and DOFP Wolverine, the only newly announced figures I want are AoU Cap, Ultron and Thanos. Bad news is Thanos with throne will probably be $550.
Damn you HTTT!!!!!
They're still announcing IM2 PO's, its a little early to think they'll never get made....unless they're in Pepper Potts land and just something they don't want to do.
Despite oily rubber, etc... I just don't see them doing something like that since the clear posts arent visible while hes seated. Extra engineering and "gimmicky" that wouldn't hold the arms correctly.I wonder when we'll see these companies start taking chances with things outside of the traditional realm of figures. Soap studio has their RC Tumbler with the video camera and everything. I want to see a Thanos with a base and a throne with magnets built in, to where it actually floats.
I figure this thrones would probably be the most practical way someone could make it work, though. Even weight distribution; relatively flat surface. I always thought it'd be cool to see a floating Reeve Superman, but I could never see that happening, due to the fact that he's probably fall over.
Yeah, I was wondering about that, too. Like I said, it's not practical, at all, but it would be pretty damn cool.
I was thinking, though, and I thought you could probably do a partially magnetic deal, where the arms and everything are still plastic, but, the more I think about it, if the force was strong enough to push the parts up to the height of the arms, the weight of the figure could be enough to "hold it down," and keep everything where it's supposed to be. I'm curious, though, how that would work, scientifically, and how strong a magnet would need to be to hold up a figure of this size; particularly at a height significantly over the flat surface below it.
