Also, anyone else notice how FREAKING SHORT the "good, fully armored" Thor out there now is? The one with the spike hidden in the sword? Really hope a different figure comes out, similar, but taller.

I would say lack of support for the Thor line has more to do with Thor being an unproven property on the big-screen. Remember the first Iron Man line wasn't really all that big (in terms of volume/number of figures). Same thing with XMO: Wolverine...not a huge line. Basically, retailers are hedging their bets and guessing that Captain America will be the bigger of the two lines/movies. Probably a safe bet. Marvel's Thor is pretty obscure, even compared to where Iron Man and Cap were/are before their movies.

As for the figure's height...he seems to be in scale with the other figures, more or less. Hemsworth is 6'4". In-comics Thor is 6'6". He's not supposed to be some 7' tall giant (like the Frost Giant). Yeah, he's shorter than MU Thor, but this isn't MU Thor, it's movie-Thor.
