Avengers Assemble: THOR in 1/6 by Hot Toys
Hot Toys unleashes images of their latest Avengers 1/6th-scaled figure with THOR! Featuring a head-sculpt likeness of actor Chris Hemsworth done by by Kojun (painted & head art directed by JC.Hong) and the height of the figure measures in at 32cm = 2cm taller than "regular" 1/6-figures, to match the scale of the movie character, apparently! Surprisingly not too great a likeness here, is it? Nevertheless, I'm just glad folks are doing away with the "Forsooth!" and "Veerily!" references, yeh? *cough*
Two cool props that come with the figure: (1) an authentic metal Mjolnir with patterned holder and leather-like strap at the end (aka "diecast hammer"), and (B) An undetachable Tesseract in Tesseract container! (Folks who have seen the movie will recognize what this is). Expect a 4th-quarter 2012 release. Time to go bug your face retailer/s for price and availability, folks! More pics HERE on my FB-album!
"Hot Toys is proud to present the collectible figure of another superhero from the Marvel Studios - the 1/6th scale Thor Limited Edition Collectible Figurine from the upcoming The Avengers movie. The movie-accurate collectible is specially crafted based on the image of Chris Hemsworth as Thor in the movie, highlighting the newly developed head sculpt, muscular body, highly detailed costume, accessories and weapon. The Thor collectible stands approximately 32 cm tall, which is closer to the 1/6th scale of the movie character."What I'd really like to add here, is that the toy-version of THor's hair looks so much nicer and better groomed than the wreck we see in the film, juz'sayin…
