Really weird decision on Thanos. You figured, they would have him in armour for the trailers. Maybe he's not wearing it in the movie since Hasbro has seen enough of THanos on what design to choose. Or it could be Hasbro making a poor design choice...idk?

finally... a man with some sense!! :D

I think the directors basically said the whole idea is that Earth is such a joke for Thanos that he doesn't bother getting out of his casual wear to deal with it.

Can't really fault Hasbro for giving us a Thanos in the costume he wears in the movie, and if they DIDN'T make him people would be screaming bloody murder that they need him.

I'm just amazed that they threw Cap, Spidey, and Iron Man all into the same/first wave for Infinity War. I mean there's almost certainly going to be two waves for it, but that's pretty much tossing out their entire "core character" load in one go.

Though I guess you could throw Star Lord, Black Panther, and Thor into wave 2. Come on Hasbro, can we get a movie Vision somewhere finally?

What's good for Baron Blood is good for Thanos.

That isn't really cohesive with his previous MCU appearances where he's shown sitting around in his armor in a more causal setting though.

Kinda debatable how "casual" we've seen him, but regardless, there was a rationale, whether we agree with it or not. And I don't think we can really blame Hasbro for following the design from the movie they're making action figures for.

You can read on the packaging if it says "Infiniti War Avengers" OR just reads "Avengers" tells you who's in the movie. ;)

I really think it's utterly stupid to not give us all movie characters in the movie line. It's the 1 reason I don't buy these waves until TJMAX brings em in cheap. I don't even want most the characters. Id rather have comic waves and separate mcu Waves. What is the reason they can't do that?

I seen they did it in the UK a few times on re-release's. ....anyways ..

Because all those unique sculpts would be cost prohibitive... That's why there's usually a movie version of Cap or Iron man and then several comic characters which can be easily made with just a few new parts and a different paintjob.

Huh?

Good in hand shots of the Thanos BAF completed along with some of the figures from the wave.

Finally a female ML with double elbows, hopefully Hasbro will start making that standard for new female bodies.

Those are really good shots. It is nice to see Hulk is a little taller than Thanos.

Anyone know when these are suppose to hit the store shelves?

Not too sure where you heard that from, but that's not the reason at all. The directors said that Thanos removes the armor once he gets (all?) the Infinity Stones. It's a symbolic moment in the movie where he becomes so powerful and invincible that he no longer needs the armor for protection.
