Correct, they did not rule out the possibility of comic-based figures in the Thor line, and in fact I believe they said that they were tentatively planning on including a few comic-based designs in "future waves."

But as of this moment, no, there are no comic-based figures in the Thor line, and unless the line is moderately successful we may never get to those "future waves" in order to see what comic-based figures they have/had in mind (though if they make it to tooling at least they'll probably show up in the MU line at some point).

Of course, I suspect people might be gravely disappointed when the first several comic-based figures they unveil are (once again) more Thor variants, to include remakes of Thors we already have (modern Thor, classic Thor).

However, I would note that "millions of different Iron Men" (far more than we're getting of Thor so far) didn't prevent Iron Man 2 from having several waves and continuing into this year with a rebranding.
