News story link -Staff Edit

an exclusive? really? is this how hasbro is trying to win over the folks? bad move. it its not accessible to the reast of the people who cannot go to these conventions, its just gonna leave a sour taste in their mouths.

Great find Sean!

Anywho, you can buy this online at HTS.com after the convention and besides...the WW2 cap that was an exclusive last year was made into a figure for the cap line and is mainstream. So...this figure can be accessible at some point I'm sure

Gimme gimme gimme.

I look forward to the return of Marvel Legends. Hopefully this signifies the line's return is not so far off.

well....better late then never

Can't wait for this one it looks even better than the MS & MU ones combined!! I do detest the exclusive treatment this guy got because with Thor being critically acclaimed & all, many people will want top get a comic figure that is dead on with the movie. That was a HUGE opportunity for Hasbro to capitalize there & it's a shame that they wanted to do that.

Very cool. Now give me a Throg figure already!

hmmm...scary eyes

So I'm assuming when this mold gets released at normal retail (which it most likely will be, unless they made the new mold for one off usage like this) that it will have some kind of paint apps or accessory or something to differentiate it from the con version right?

Uhh...You do know that Modern Thor and Movie Thor don't look the same right? There is a couple differences in aesthetic. Not to mention that this is a variation of a figure that will come out in wave 1 of Hasbro's Marvel Legends reboot.

Isn't DC kind of killing Marvel in the toy department? I don't remember seeing Marvel's characters in a 6" line since the "other" Marvel Legends line ended several years ago. Many lines may be downsizing, but they should really have a 6" line to at least compete with DC's "DC Universe" line.

Meh. Toybiz Thor is the only Thor I'll ever need. For an exclusive this guy better have real metal armor lol.

Are they bringing back the Legends series?

Don't worry...the original Marvel Legends line was badass enough to put DCUC to shame even without still being around. At least a lot of characters were unique molds, instead of being retools of 3 different sized bodies. There were retools, and the use of the same base body as different characters, but not to the extent that Mattel has gone. I love DCUC, but Mattel pretty much just copied the formula created by Toy Biz. Don't worry though Hasbro is bringing back Marvel Legends for 2012. I hope it's as good to the Toy Biz run. While that line had some qc problems from time to time, it was awesome, and the Marvel Legends line didn't go down hill untill Hasbro took over in my mind.

Yes

That's not a bad sculpt at all!

Don't get your hopes up... I'm still waiting on that Lady Bullseye figure. And let's get a DECENT Marvel Legends She-Hulk figure, please?

LOL.

Not even remotely.

Yes, they announced it last year.

I just hope they re-do some figures from the previous lines, like, oh I don't know, ULTRON. Don't get me wrong I wanna see new figs, but I want a classic ultron in 6 inch scale, and a bigger Captain Britain and wonder man, they were great figs, but kinda small.

New images of this figure in some unique packaging:

not so impressed with the POA..

single elbow & knee joints?

no torso hinge? toe hinge? fingers hinge? wrist hinge?

toybiz ml is waaaaaay better!

What do you mean? The torso is like the MU ones. And I think I see a wrist hinge right there.

Figure looks amazing.

That packaging makes it worth buying alone.

silly me.. i didnt realize the wrist hinge.. thanx for highlighting me.. :p

but i much prefer the torso hinge ml thor toybiz rather than swivel chest :)

can some one confirm this?

heh, awesome box.
