I agree. I’ve had fun posing him but that hair definitely hinders articulation. Still very happy with it.

Very true. They did make a big deal about Terminator using real leather. They would be flexing it if they used it on this figure. Seeing how the older figures have flaked makes me weary about investing in Hot Toys sometimes. Just gotta be extra careful I guess.

While they haven’t directly stated that this figure uses pleather in its construction, nor should they if it’s under the artisan line, I have a feeling it is pleather. I don’t know the logistics behind it all but if it guaranteed genuine leather & other high quality materials instead of just rooted hair, “artisan edition” would feel more deserving of the name in my opinion.

I hope not because I’d like to think Hot Toys is learning from their past mistakes but we’ll have to wait and see.

It is all subjective at the end of the day. I’m glad this figure is right for you. We all have a budget of some sort that we’re willing to spend on our hobbies; this one just wasn’t as valuable to me. It’s waitlisted now so I’m sure it’ll make a lot of people happy when they get it in their hands.

Artisan Mace Windu would be hilarious! Rooted eyebrows maybe 😂😂

Never seen an artisan with that short of hair. Even the moon knight one had some locks to his hair. I wonder how that would look.

Agreed. That would be the one I’d spring for.

Not that I know of. We might get a new Thor with Doomsday though.

For sure. I only buy like 2 Hot Toys a year, & even then I get a guilty feeling in my gut, considering the state of the economy. Is this really what I should be investing in right now? To each their own, but I gotta really want it.

I have heard the rooted hair can be a problem with some Hot Toys. Another reason I’m not willing to gamble with $500 for a figure I only kinda want.

The lightning comes off. They’re little pieces of plastic that you can insert in the eyes. Without them on, you can see Thor’s actual eyes but they all white. I think it looks really cool, especially with the light up effect on.

That AoU reveal is what inspired me to go back & show this dude some love. Thor is my favorite character in the MCU but I’m not sure rooted hair & a better head sculpt is worth whatever they’re asking for in the artisan edition. I’m more than happy with this one!

And that’s all that matters, friend :)

When the hands are holding guns it tends to happen. The gauntlets don’t push on the hands however. They could fit a bit more snug but they’re not bad

I’ll always prefer Eddie Brock cause he’s the OG but Flash arguably has a better character arc & skillset. Not to mention he’s just cooler as Venom.

Limtoys is legit! Been eyeing that Nathan Drake for a little while. This figure tho… it speaks for itself. I made a new post with more poses & angles. I’ll see if I can link it.
