Re: Hot Toys - MMS175 - The Avengers: 1/6th Scale Thor Official Specs and Pics
Ok, I got him, and here's my two cents.
The metal hammer is awesome, it has nice heft, though it would have been nice to have a second plastic one for long-term posing just in case. It does bug me how little he comes with compared to any of the other figures in the Avengers line thus far. I don't know what else he could have come with, but the plastic hammer would've been nice as an option.
- The cape is a pain in the butt, and I can't seem to get it to sit right on the inside. And why no wire for posing? A fail in my book.
- The headsculpt is ok, not 100% Hemsworth, but decent. I'm fine with it. If the Thor 2 head is excessively better I may pick one up as a replacement down the line.
- The rubber arms are really restrictive, but I don't know what they could have done differently here, besides making them sculpted arms, and then they couldn't really have reused the body. I get the issue, but I'm still meh on them.
- The sculpt on the armor is amazing, as are the rest of the outfit I haven't mentioned yet. Love that they worked on scale.
All in all, none of the Avengers, with the exception of Hawkeye, have blown me away just yet. I'm hoping Loki, Mark VII, or Hulk will change my mind. Still happy to be collecting this line, and none have been failures, just not 100% perfect for me.
