im really going to wait for the movie to come out , it will be big plus they will possibly make a box set of 6 inch and 3.75 inch figures of the avengers which would be awsome, so thats what im waiting for

I see two possibilities here (If it is indeed cancelled):
One - Hasbro is pushing back the Marvel Legends relaunch till later next year, as opposed to late this year/early next year as originally scheduled. This would give it more marketing synergy with the Avengers film. Two - Retailers passed on the line, killing it before it even got off the ground. No Marvel Legends relaunch coming. With Iron Man Legends only being carried by TRU there doesn't seem to be much demand from retailers for 6" figures right now.... |

This is a "sneak peek" and modern Thor will be part of the first wave of the relaunched Marvel Legends. Can't say for sure yet, but the SDCC version will probably have packaging and/or paint app differences from the final mass-retail versions. I suspect that the SDCC version is meant to be "powered up" Thor (Note the intense blue eyes and "glow" effect painted on the discs holding his cape in place, and the retail version will be "regular" Thor. |
