Still holding out a shred of hope for Toy Fair, but it looks bleaker by the day for any chance of comic-based Thor figures using "movie style" sculpting and articulation (which as I noted earlier, I find superior to Marvel Universe, even if that line is improving as it goes along).

I absolutely agree, I do love MU but there is something far superior about the IM2 line. The figures just seem studier, not as flimsy as most MU. The proportions are better and the detail is incredible on most (most notably the movie Mark 1).The joints are more often nice and tight, and the characters are all in scale!

Here's hoping the line does well enough for some decent comic figures.
