The evil Loki plans to upsurb his brother Thor from the right hand of his father Odin. Chief of mischief and constant plotting, he was instrumental in the formation of the Avengers in the Marvel Universe comic series and once again recreated in more modern settings in the Avengers movie. Taking a leaf from the Marvel Ultimates Universe, the Avengers movie recreates that singular world shattering event that brings the World's Mightiest Heroes together.

Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. with Maria Hill and the rest of the team (although no Dum Dum or Gage) are all gathered to fight and defeat Loki's world conquering plans.

Captured in great detail the Marvel Universe Avengers movie series Loki comes his cosmic spear which he uses to great effect in the movie.

ODIN ruler of ASGARD

The first figure for Marvel Universe's ODIN reflects the movie version from the upcoming THOR movie. Not a bad looking figure but my impression of this character was always as a larger figure in comparison with THOR. However it seems to reflect the movie character well. Main gripe are the accessories which seem too overly large for the figure and the weight does not ballance well to allow any real posing. The sheild is also not golden as depicted on the card. Guess they decided to cut some cost in painting it.

Equally so the sword that comes with ODIN. Much too large to be held in his hands and too cumbersome to be in scale with the figure. The paint scheme also was not what was depicted on the card.

Overall the figure works well without the accessories and I am inclined to pose it without.

THOR arrives in Penang...

The much anticipated Marvel Universe THOR movie tie-ins arrives in Penang. Part of the Avengers initiative and build up to the Avengers movie.
I managed to grab a few to have a closer look.
I really did not like the new LOKI look so that was out. My favourite size are the 3 3/4 inch size, so the THOR figure in that size was my focus. There were 3 different types, but essentially the same figure with different accessories. There was a glowing hammer and sword spike versions which did not seem appealing. So I settled with the battle hammer version.

OK a few things stand out when looking at this figure. First of all the so called battle hammer was not as depicted on the card and was more of a sword with the hammer part stuck in as the sword guard. The hand grip could not hold on to the hammer / sword well.  Good thing I was only really interested in the hammer and which was scaled well and fit well in the hand.

Costume looked cool with a nice detailing.

Still have some doubts on the facial sculpt although very nice but the expression seems dull and neither fierce or noble looking. Guess that is just my taste and opinion.

Check back later when we will visit ODIN.
