Every time I see these pictures of the upcoming Hot Toys Odin figure from the Thor movie, I flip flop. My first impression was that the likeness could use a little more work to get it to match up with Anthony Hopkins, but now I’m in the camp that it’s pretty good. What do you think?
You can see more pictures in the Hot Toys Odin album.

I think it looks spot-on with the helmet on, but not so much with the helmet off. I am still waiting to see if Hot Toys is doing any villains from this film before I pre-order these figures.
Holy crap i had to make sure i wasn’t looking at a picture!!
