SDCC 2017: Hot Toys Gladiator Hulk & Thor Ragnarok Loki!

We’ve got a few hours still until the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con Preview Night begins, but photos of various items that will be displayed tonight at the convention are already starting to leak out. We knew from teasers earlier this week that Hot Toys would have their Gladiator Thor sixth scale figure at the event, but early photos confirm two more figures that are going to be majorly in-demand: Hot Toys Gladiator Hulk and Thor Ragnarok Loki figures have now appeared!

Hot Toys Gladiator Hulk Figure SDCC 2017

Hot Toys has released sixth scale figures based on characters from every single Marvel Cinematic Universe movie (even Ant-Man), so there was never any legitimate doubt that we’d be seeing Thor 3 figures from them as well.

Whether we’d only see 1-2 figures for Thor Ragnarok (a la Doctor Strange and Ant-Man) or a whole series of figures (a la Civil War and Age of Ultron) seemed more up in the air, but heading into SDCC 2017 Preview Night tonight, we now know that the series will be at least three figures strong.

And let me just say–this Gladiator Hulk 1/6 figure looks huge.

The previously released Hot Toys Hulk figures have been around 17″ tall, so with his new gladiator helmet, I imagine the Gladiator Hulk Hot Toys figure will be over 18″ tall overall. Combine that with his natural width and the added requirements for his weapons, and, well… looks like we’re all gonna need a lot more space!

SDCC 2017 Hot Toys Loki Thor Ragnarok FigureThe other figure that’s been revealed via colliderfrosty on Twitter is a new Thor Ragnarok Loki Hot Toys sixth scale figure in his new blue costume from Thor 3. The blue costume is not getting a ton of love from fans, as Loki’s green costumes are rather iconic, but the new color scheme is starting to grow on me somewhat. I’m willing to take a wait-and-see attitude–maybe we’ll all love this new costume once we see the Thor Ragnarok movie?

This will be the first new 12″ Loki figure that Hot Toys has released since Thor The Dark World in 2013, so there should be plenty of newer collectors wanting a 1/6 Loki. Whether they’ll want this blue Loki… we’ll see.

Thor Ragnarok Hot Toys Gladiator Thor Teaser Photo We know from the teasers that a Hot Toys Gladiator Thor MMS figure is also going to be shown at SDCC 2017 tonight, as well as a new Hot Toys Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but neither of those figures have shown up in leaked photographs from the show just yet. Stay tuned to the Marvel Toy News Facebook and Twitter Page, as I’ll be updating all week long with the latest reveals from the show.

Now that we’ve seen our first pair of Hot Toys Marvel figures revealed from Comic Con, what do you think, Marvel collectors? Is there a chance that the blue Loki costume from Ragnarok grows on you, and do you have a space in your collection (and your credit line) for the monstrous new Gladiator Hulk sixth scale figure?

    • Definitely not. I’m really disappointed especially since the trailer sows him in an alternate green ‘battle’ costume. I don’t think Hot Toys gets Loki fans. He’s one of the most awesome comic book movie villains ever and he looks utterly bland in this get up. I honestly think they did a mash-up of his costumes thinking it would be the best of both worlds for fans because he’s clearly wearing green when he has his helmet on in the Ragnarok trailer..
      And are those the same boots as the Avengers Loki figure? Because that’s really lazy.
      What’s worse is he’ll probably be the most expensive Loki yet.

  1. Wow…dammit looks like I’ll have too get them all again even Loki in blue..great job ‘hot toys ..👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👮🏿
