Honestly, it looks like the Ragnarok wave is warming pretty hard here too. I think Ares and Hela are the only ones that are selling well. My local Forbidden Planet and TRU both have quite a few of all the others still waiting for homes. It doesn't help that they're all £27 ($38) each! GotGV2 I've only seen either wave in FP - but they've still got some to sell too.

I bought Ares, Hela and Loki at full UK price - but I can't justify spending that on the other three. Ragnarok Thor looks really good, but I'd prefer a more standard look for my MCU Thor (still a gap I need to fill) - long hair, Mjolnir, etc... As for the other two (JF Thor and Odinson), the 'paint skin' on their torsos without any actual sculpt really puts me off. They look so cheap because of it. I think Polaris only just pulls it off - and even that's a bit of a stretch.

At $10 each, I'd have completed the wave and tossed those three figs into a customs bin. I suppose Jane Foster Thor would probably have made it into my ANAD Avengers shelf section, but I'd have tucked her away behind some others.

I don't see this wave selling anywhere near as fast/well as the first - so I'm hoping I see about as much of it (1 case total) - otherwise it'll just clog the shelves up more meaning we'll probably miss out on the new Spidey wave. Again.
