That both Marvel and Hasbro's fault. They put out too many figures at one time in a drought of ML figures. Each figure had a case of eight as well. Then Target and co refused to put them on a serious sale when they needed to.

It was like they though Eternals was much greater then Avengers. Or the production run was so complete that they couldn't depend on a slow rollout like usual. It was very all at once.

Thor I think is just going to do better.
Even if you don't want the whole wave, enough people want a few figures from the wave.

You got the folks looking for a GOG figure. Customers looking for a Thor figure.
Our villain might have some difficulty due to an uninteresting look and not being shown in a trailer yet.

Eternals came when they literally had no other MCU property to push. Everything else got pushed back. It was either fill the shelves with them and make it look full or leave it empty and admit they had no other product.

Thor on the other hand has people rushing out to break open cases sitting on pallets at Walmart hoping to get them even before they're supposed to be sold. These figures will probably hit saturation at some point, obviously, but they won't be the clearance fodder Eternals figures were.
