1/6 Hot Toys - Infinity War - Thanos

[Razorwing]

I don't think A4 Thanos will have the non-fried Infinity Gauntlet. He might get the damaged version of it. Or maybe HT might not even make him.

It is blurred, but the promotion shots for the pre-order show an extra interchangeable angry head.

Probably similar to this: View attachment 419701

That is the sculpt that will make this figure.

No ones waiting for the armored version in A4?

Interesting question : Which would you buy if you're given this choice ;

A). This IW version with light up Infinity gauntlet & 2 head sculpts
B). Armoured version. No Infinity gauntlet, one head sculpt.

Costwise I could see that being roughly equal. Storywise I could also see that being pretty probable.

I personally like the light armor Thanos look. The gauntlet looks great and I'm excited to see the second head sculpt. In my opinion the armor he was wearing at the beginning of Infinity War didn't look that great. Plus I feel like it'll hinder the articulation, or they'll do those awful looking elbow joints from the first Thanos figure. Not to mention with the prices for these figures steadily rising I'm sure the next Thanos we get (if we get one) will cost more than this version.

Yep, yep and yep.

I really hope they articulate the fingers of the glove enough to make the "snap" pose

If the hands are articulated as well as the Iron Man figures or Ultron Prime. A snap hand should be achievable

Honestly if I had to choose I would pick A. As iconic as the look of his armor is the Infinity Gauntlet is comic legend. It's one of the most recognizable objects in comics period and is tied more with Thanos than any armor. That said If they do make a armored look for A4 I will get both as I aleady have the IW figure paid off.

I have to assume they are saving Thanos' best look for the finale. I think he looks awesome in his armor -- I like that he beat Hulk into a hiding and look forward to their re-match in A4.

I imagine the armored Thanos would have a 2nd head - without helmet. Not sure if it would come with light-up Gauntlet again...

Anyway, we'll know before I get my Maul.

I would get the armored Thanos. No question.

For the vast majority it’s fine. But that material is very climate effected. High heat or humidity or sun or low temps will cause issues. And obviously any rough handling.

Easy. A. The whole Mcguffins of the MCU lead to Thanos collecting all the Infinity Stones. Sure, the armor may look cool, but it is no Infinity Gauntlet.

I was entirely opposed to an armorless Thanos... until I watched the movie. Now it's one of my most anticipated figures.

You are right. Thanos was the star of Infinity War. What’s not to like!!? [emoji1]

What I'd like is that extended cut with 30 min extra, most of which is backstory to Thanos, and adding more info to his motives.

Master move by Marvel would be to release that extended version in theatres a few months before IW2. Double dip $$$ and get everyone hyped for the final chapter.

Some IW concept art from the digital release:

Decided to jump on the waitlist at Timewalker. Does that usually convert?

 

[HTHero]

And finally PO'd Thanos from Sideshow! April cannot come soon enough!

 

[KerotanFrog]

Did some looking into the waitlist on TW. Preorder allotments are sold but they will get more. That's fine with me. I qualified for free shipping and I know SS is gonna change at least $30 to ship him. Thanos is a monster lol. Nearly 17 inches so the box will be huge.

 

[hottoyskyle]

If I was to get thanos I might get this version since this was the movie where he succeeded.
