Thor the Mighty Avenger Super Hero Squad Figures
Thor has gotten the lions share of attention from the Super Hero Squad’s upcoming assortment of three packs, from the Asgardian Vault and Asgardian Smash sets up for pre-order now to a new set featuring a smaller Frost Giant (albeit, a repaint of Skaar aka the Son of Hulk) and Lady Sif, it looks like 2011 will be a good year for the Asgardian Avenger, if Toy Fair is any indication.

New Thor and Iron Man Super Hero Squad Figures for Pre-Order
The three latest Super Hero Squad three packs are hitting stores in some areas (hence the scalper’s ransom on eBay, including one with a buy it now price of almost $90 for the three sets… triple the MSRP!) but if you don’t want to hunt, and don’t mind waiting two weeks, Hasbro Toy Shop has the figures up for sale. First off, thanks to thecollector22 for the tip-off.
Next:
Iron Man War Mechs is here, featuring:
Iron Man: High-tech armored super genius!
Marvel’s War Machine: Ultra-powerful walking weapon!
Detroit Steel: Rogue weapon of mass destruction!
Unleash a battle of “super” proportions! This three-pack of chunky super-powered dynamos come in battle-ready poses, just waiting for you to put them in action. Pit the evil powers of your Detroit Steel figure against the courage of your heroic Iron Man and Marvel’s War Machine figures. Set up the fight and help the good guys “save the world”!
Three-pack includes Iron Man, Marvel’s War Machine and Detroit Steel figures.
Then there’s Thor The Mighty Avenger’s Asgardian Smash set with the following:
Thor: Hammer-throwing thunder god! Hulk: Ultra-strong villain smasher! Marvel’s Warrior Odin: Mighty king of Asgard! Unleash a battle of “super” proportions! This three-pack of chunky super-powered dynamos come in battle-ready poses, just waiting for you to put them in action. Pit the courage of your Thor, Hulk and Marvel’s Warrior Odin figures against any evil forces that come their way. Set up the fight and help the good guys “save the world”! Three-pack includes Thor, Hulk and Marvel’s Warrior Odin figures. Ages 3 and up.
Thor also gets a set called The Battle for Asgard’s Vault here:
Thor: Mightiest warrior in the Nine Realms!
Loki: Evil god of trickery!
Marvel’s Destroyer: Indestructible fire-fueled armor!
Unleash a battle of “super” proportions! This three-pack of chunky super-powered dynamos come in battle-ready poses, just waiting for you to put them in action. Pit the evil powers of your Loki and Marvel’s Destroyer figures against the courage of your heroic Thor figure. Set up the fight and help the hero “save the world”!
Three-pack includes Thor, Loki and Marvel’s Destroyer figures.
Ages 3 and up.
And if 3.75 inch figures are more your thing, you can buy the single Iron Man Armored Avenger figures here, including (for now at least) the new drone and an army of Iron Man repaints. Want the 3.75 inch Thor figures? Then prepare to buy a case, which will get you 3 each of the three Thor figures, Odin and Loki. That’s only 11 figures you say, and not the full 12 they say are in a case? Very perceptive, but you’ll have to take that up with Hasbro… we’re only sharing their information. Edit: Or rely on someone like pj4life who’ll actually read the description and see that the 12th figure is the Frost Giant! D’oh.

Marvel Universe News Round-up
First up, Brian’s got news of the clear Vision variant, dark red Daredevil and the Marvel Universe Warpath variant hitting eBay. Then Brian’s up again with a review of the Marvel Universe Thor, winner of the Ragen’s Reviews Wave 2 poll.
And while it’s not actually Marvel Universe action figure news, Big Bad Toy Store does have a pre-order up for the upcoming Captain America army builder Minimates featuring “Hydra Pilot, Hydra Infantry, Hydra Flame Thrower, Hydra Soldier 2, and Red Skull Hydra Uniform”. Minimate collectors rejoice because it looks like the movie themed army builder packs are here to stay after Iron Man 2′s drones, and Thor’s frost giants.
Thor Movie Minimates
Heads up to Juuuggs Gotcha! for pointing out the new Thor movie Minimates two-packs featuring Thor, Loki, The Destroyer, Odin, Jane Foster and a Frost Giant, which you can see at Art Asylum. Single packs of various Frost Giants and… I’m not sure if that’s a generic Asgardian and Don Blake or what, but still, Thor single packs are also shown over at Art Asylum.

December’s Hasbro Q&A – Super Hero Squad and Marvel Movies
And Hasbro’s Q&A came out today too!
1) Will the 3.75 inch lines of Captain America and Thor have a combination of Movie and Comic series figures like Iron Man 2 did?
Yes – the figures will be identified by “comic series” and “movie series” callouts.
2) We noticed that at NYCC, the Super Hero Squad Iron Man Armored Avenger and Thor The Mighty Avenger packs appear to be cross selling each other and are labeled as theme packs. Does this mean that 3-pack waves are going to cross over amongst various propeties, or will movies still get independant waves?
The Super Hero Squad styled 3-packs will feature characters from each movie arc. Iron Man, Captain America and Thor will each have its own variations of the 3-pack.
3) Every couple months one of these Q&A’s will ask “when will the Super Hero Squad Kraven get released?”, and in a December 2009 Q&A Kraven was listed as “in the plan” for Fall 2010. Where does he fit in the revised plan?
Unfortunately, Kraven did not make it into the 2010 line. However, we are aware of the interest in seeing him released and will take it into consideration as we plan for the future.
