Sideshow Reveals Exclusive Hot Toys Thor: The Dark World Light-Armored Figure

The second version of Thor: the Dark World from Hot Toys is a Sideshow exclusive. With this exclusive version, you forgo the black poncho that comes with the regular version. But if you want Thor in his un-armored look, without the scale mail on his arms and torso, then this is the version for you. The Sideshow version also comes with a more detailed rock base, versus the plain base on the other one.

The Asgardian Light Armor version of Thor is available to pre-order exclusively from Sideshow. It’s $229.99, like the regular version, and is also due out in September next year.

Hot Toys Announces Thor: The Dark World Figure

With Thor: the Dark World opening in the US a week from Friday, it’s about time that Hot Toys reveals its plans for the movie. And, not wanting to disappoint, they’ve got two versions of Thor heading our way. The first is the armored version of Thor. I’ve got the Thor from the first movie, and can see the subtle improvements in the head sculpt – this is more representative of Chris Hemsworth than the first one and the subsequent Avengers version. Perhaps not having to accommodate a helmeted look helps.

Thor is available to pre-order from Sideshow Collectibles. He’s $229.99 and due September 2014. We’ll have the second version up shortly.

NYCC 2013: Kotobukiya Statues

The show’s over, but I’ll have more NYCC galleries over the next couple days.

Kotobukiya is not my typical fare – no budget or space for them – but they produce some of the most beautiful statues from across pop culture domains. They’ve got licenses for movies, video games, comics, and more.

Diamond Select Toys Has Marvel Minimates and Marvel Select from Thor: the Dark World

We’re a little over a month away from Thor: the Dark World, and if you’re jonesing for toys, then Diamond Select Toys has got you covered – they’ve got Thor Minimates and Marvel Select figures on the way.

Minimates allows them to go pretty wide – not just the main guys in Thor, Malekith, and Loki, but they’ve got a Dark Elf army builder, Eric Selvig, and and Darcy Lewis represented. Kat Dennings fans rejoice! I’m surprised at Darcy but no Jane Foster – I’m guessing she’ll show up at big box retail, as this series is headed to comic book and specialty retailers.

Jane will definitely make an appearance with Thor in the Marvel Select line. The figures will be sold separately but will each have bases that connect to form a diorama for the figures. Are we supposed to call that BAD (build-a-diorama)?
