If you’ve been holding off on adding the Hot Toys Thor sixth scale figure to your Hot Toys Avengers 1/6 figure lineup, it’s officially time to start thinking about adding him to your collection–pronto! Though he’s lasted longer in-stock than any of his mere mortal brethren, North American Hot Toys Distributor Sideshow Collectibles is finally “sold out” of the Thor Hot Toys God of Thunder, with online retailers on the verge of selling out as well…
Maybe it was due to the fact that there had already been a Hot Toys Thor 1/6th scale released for his own movie. Maybe it was because people were anticipating the inevitable Hot Toys Thor The Dark World version. Maybe Hot Toys anticipated faster sales and overproduced Thor. Or maybe people just don’t care all that much about Thor (I say thee NAY!!!). Regardless, the 1/6 Avengers Thor Hot Toys figure lasted several months in-stock at official U.S. Hot Toys distributor Sideshow Collectibles, longer than any other figure in the line. But that dishonor has at last come to an end, and Thor may raise his head in honor amongst his sold-out brethren in Valhalla!
I have to raise my hand as one of the guilty parties that didn’t buy the Thor Hot Toys sixth scale figure (until now). There never seemed to be a real rush to get the big guy, as he just didn’t have the buzz surrounding him that other Avengers Hot Toys figures like Black Widow, Loki, Hulk and Iron Man Mark VII had.
As soon as I saw he was sold out at Sideshow, though, my urgency meter went through the left and I jumped over and added a Hot Toys Thor 1/6 figure to my “Pile of Loot” at Big Bad Toy Store (BigBadToyStore has just 10 units of the Avengers Hot Toys Thor left in-stock at $199.99 as of writing, so think fast if you want one of them).
If you want to get in on the Hot Toys Avengers Thor Movie Masterpiece Series figure from Sideshow Collectibles itself and get free shipping and Sideshow Rewards points, you may still be able to. Sideshow Collectibles just opened the Wait List for Thor this weekend, and people on the list in the first few days usually get lucky and have their orders fulfilled (that’s how I got my Hot Toys Black Widow, Iron Man Mark VII Exclusive and Captain America).
