Aint-It-Cool News recently reported that these three action figures for the upcoming movie Thor have appeared on Ebay for sale. Odin is on the left, and Loki is on the right, but in the middle is what appears to be a Frost Giant. Odin and Loki have been confirmed as characters in the film, but up until this picture was released, the Frost Giant was not.
Since the release of this picture, many people are speculating the role of the Frost Giant in the upcoming film. If you know anything about Thor, you know Frost Giants and Asgardians have a rich history of beating the snot out of each other, so expect to see that, as well as some trickery on the part of Loki.
As for the action figures themselves, they look pretty decent, except for the Frost Giant who reminds me way too much of Avatar. Hopefully, these figures will be high quality and not have 10 different Thor figures, which always bogs down any movie-related figure. If you don't believe me, head to a Target or Walmart and check out all the Iron Man 2 figures still for sale. Count the Iron Man variants... I dare you. Hopefully, we'll get maybe two different Thor figures, the rest of the cast, and maybe a few Frost Giant variations, so you can have the Asgardians battle it out with them. Marvel's action figures have been so-so over the years, but their movie-related ones seem to be top-notch. Hopefully, we'll get the same quality in the Thor line. And while the Ebay auction for the figures seems to be open, keep your eyes out. Once one hits the market, there's bound to be a few more in the next couple of days. What do you guys think of the figures? Will the Frost Giants have an important role in this film?
