MisterPL Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 DST could offer an assortment of figures for the film's debut and another for the home video release but I'm not sure that six-month window is enough time to turn things around from approved concept to finished good.

MrClean Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I would have gladly sacrificed two of the released Lokis to get Hogun and Fandrall finally. Seriously, what do these two have to do in a movie to get noticed? Now it seems like that opportunity is gone with the next phase of Marvel movies coming after Infinity War.

youbastards Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) At this point I just want a Build-a-Figure wave of the remaining classic 616 Thor characters needed...Thor is hot right now, DST time to strike! - Thor (with alternate parts to make Frog Thor) - Fandral - Hogun - Volstagg - Executioner - Hela - Ulik - Heimdall - Bulked Up Destroyer (Build a Figure) Edited December 11, 2017 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'd rather get some of Thor's non-Asgardian foes (classic Radioactive Man, Grey Gargoyle, Wrecking Crew...) than the Warriors Three, but we still need a definitive Thor, and Executioner and Ulik would be great. I think Throg would work better as a pack in, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 My problem is that when there's a drought, I tend to buy more of these damned things than I "need." What I should be doing is setting that impulse money aside for that rainy day when it's pouring new 'mates. Â Luke's needs a Christmas Club.

All of the elements of a "perfect" Thor are there, they just need to be put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegron01 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Ok, well I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the biggest comic thor fans on here and as such it's always bugged me that, in my opinion, there is no definitive classic thor.  My reason is fairly simple. He needs to have 6 circles on his costume, 4 above and 2 below his belt. That immediately means that only the TRU 12 version has a chance, and he is very good as he also has the most classic looking hair. However, his helmet wings are not white and he just looks a bit spindly to me. Thus a bulkier chest is needed, similar to wave 16 thor's size and also, although it is true to the first appearance that TRU 12 thor is based on, the little lock of hair sticking out of the bottom of his helmet is not representative of his typical definitive look for me. So yes, a very good thor can be made by mixing and matching but I still can't make all the parts come together quite enough to make the perfect thor. Admittedly I'm probably pretty fussy but I live in hope that we will get one one day but I get the impression that DST think they have already achieved it so I'm not as confident as I once was.

MisterPL Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 So this the Thor we're looking for? Â (Hail Ivan!) Â So close! Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 It is close . I used to bang on for years about why the Hulk always fell short of what was needed .......big beefy biceps & it is in this area that every Thor falls short . Helmets are a bit of a problem with some Minimates & (again) this never looks quite right IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hulk-sized biceps seem like they'd be too big for Thor. I know Thor is big but he's not HULK big. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I totally agree that Hulk is 'beefier' than Thor but surely you'd agree that Thor's biceps in that picture prove the point  I was making ? His arms are as big as his legs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I get it now. I've always enjoyed Thor, but some of the details on the minimates just escape my eye. We've gotten pretty close, but still not quite there.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
