Thor Legends for 2017!

Recommended Posts

I'm not a die-hard Thor fan, but I definitely appreciate him and the supporting characters that interface with the Avengers. Since "Thor: The Dark World" saw NO support from 6" Legends figures, and the first movie saw a tiny 3-figure 6" release, I don't anticipate multiple waves of ML investing in the Thor franchise. So for a one-and-done wave, this is what I can see for 8 figures (+BAF) to cover everything I want from the ML Thor universe.

 

THOR LEGENDS - EXECUTIONER SERIES

Classic Thor (with alternate Ragnarok head)

Thor (Jane Foster) (with Throg pack-in)

"Enchanted Enemies" - Classic Loki (with Executioner leg) / Enchantress (with Executioner torso)

"Worthy Wielders of Might" - Beta Ray Bill (with Executioner arm) / Thunderstrike (with Executioner arm; includes alternate bearded & masked Thor head, compatible with classic Thor figure)

"Mythical Challengers" - Hercules (harness/briefs costume; with Executioner leg) / Ulik (with Executioner weapons & head)

 

Considering all the capes, hammers, and alternate heads in these packages, I tried to be strategic and economic about package space when adding pack-ins and BAF pieces.

 

How do you see Thor in the context of Marvel Legends?

Avengers are a big thing for Hasbro, more so then most franchises, except Spider-man but that Spider-man. Hasbro has shown this year alone that if there is a Avengers based movie they will put big money into it. Next year the main Avengers film is Thor. So they would be stupid to not include a year of Thor. hell if you look at the fan poll in SDCC, most of the character were either Thor or Cosmic. so I say we will get 3 wave next year for Thor. If not then at least 2 wave for Thor and 2 for GOTG.

 

My Wave predictions

Thor Wave 1

  • Classic Thor (with Ragnorak Head)
  • Sif / Angela - Valkyries of Asgard
  • Loki (comic)
  • Malekith (comic)
  • Hercules (Under Siege version)
  • Executioner (more or less confirmed thanks to the Fan Poll)
  • BAF: Ulik

Thor Wave 3

  • Thor Movie
  • Hulk Movie
  • Loki Movie
  • Fandral
  • Hogun
  • Ares ( remake)
  • BAF: Volstagg

Thor Wave 3

  • Thunderstrike
  • Lady Thor
  • Enchantress
  • Grey Gargolye
  • Who ever is the secondary villian in Thor: Ragnarok
  • Titania
  • Hamdall (comic or movie I don't care)
  • BAF: Kurse

Very nice. However, (a nit pick, I admit) you can't have Sif/Angela classified as Valkyries. Neither ever escorted fallen heroes to Valhalla. Also, Skurge is the bigger character over Ulik (7'2/6'4 respectively) so he should be the B.A.F. Since it's almost guaranteed Hasbro would make Ulik too large anyway, he could fit into the packaging, like the Hulk does (which since Hasbro has opened the door to making Build-A-Figure brutes with the Rhino and supposedly, the Abomination, it stands to reason the Hulk should now attain B.A.F. status).

that true. I just imagine them using the Rhino/Abomination baf to create Ulik and using the Hyperion or the Marvel Now Thor to create Skurge.
