I think there's something about the Thor movie toys that just... isn't fun. I've said this before, but I feel like I'm just buying figures of normal dudes who like to hang at Ren Festivals. The figures are just men with beards and long hair. I'm not saying this is bad, it's accurate to the movie, but they're just boring to me. I didn't understand the IM2 toy hype, but I can at least see why someone might want all of the different IM suits. Do we really need the same long-haired blonde man figure where the only difference is he's wearing a yellow shirt instead of his classic black suit? (Thor) I don't. The Cap stuff has more of a "fun" look in my opinion. They've mixed in a comic line, which is "fun." The villains just look more "fun" too. I don't need Cap wearing a ton of different suits either, but at least they have a few eras to mix it up with.

In other words, I can definitely see W2, and beyond, of Thor toys not making it very far. I just see pegs and pegs of Odin and Thor that I can't see many stores justifying more.
