By Chris Troy One of my problems with the Thor toy line is that it strictly focuses on the Movie-verse stuff, at least for the time being. Hasbro spoiled me by giving Wolverine and Iron Man lines that focused on the comic-stuff as well, so it sucked to see that the mighty Thor not receive [...]

By Loran After my disappointment with Thunderhead, I decided to seek out another Human Alliance Basic for my Dark of the Moon collection.
