Kinda as long as Sci Fi so some of the posiible toys from this line like TRUE Frost Giants or Surtur or trolls I believe would sell. I know, ain't gonna happen but that being said, I have to admit that I will pick up a Thor{to use the head for a Thunderstrike custom}, Odin, maybe Loki, and a couple of frost giants{to army build an Atlantean army for Namor since they kinda remind me of how Atlanteans are drawn in Marvel} but unless they have a comic line or AT LEAST release movie versions of Sif, Heimdall, Balder,and the Warriors Three I gotta say this Thor fan will pass on this toy line.

I'm sure this line will get more than one wave, but at this point it's looking like it'll probably be about the same overall "size" as XMO: Wolverine was. As opposed to Iron Man 2 (which I'm getting the impression is the kind of launch they're going for with Captain America, but we all know TF3 will be the "biggest" toy launch next summer).

There's a "real" frost giant coming as a Wal-Mart MU exclusive...with a classic comic Loki pack-in.
