Well it makes sense to me that they are going the printed beard on face and probably torso. It allows for there to be two different beards for final battle thor and bro thor without having to make two new molds 

Wouldnt that mean three different torsos for Thor? Unless Thor House and Benatar Thor are the same.

Oh God don't ruin the torso, don't print a beard in it.

Most probably they're the same.

Does anyone have the Garindan face mold? If that fits in between that gap in the hair they could theoretically do a mold.

Sadly I don't have the cantina yet but I compared the hood with the hair. Gap-wise almost the same - the hair might be a tiny bit narrower.

If they did a beard mould it would be funny because to be accurate it would have to look almost the same as the bootleg (although dark tan)

Viking Thor is in both the Final Battle and Benatar.

Hahahah not the first time it will happen, Lego copying a bootleg design. I'm also looking forward to Thanos because it sounds like they'll copy the bootleg too

I've never felt so betrayed by Lego rn

And yes, I'm overdramatising, leave me be xD

Understandable. Lmao

Oof, I'm not too surprised though. I'm sure it'll look OK, as long as the face is good. I don't suspect we'll get a piece for the beard, it's too small.

People are going to have a meltdown when it turns out they're using the same old Ragnarok face print

At this point I wouldn't even be surprised.

Lmao, just no beard at all, it's baby face Thor from the Mighty Avengers sets

I can't see lego doing a mold like that. It's very bootlegy it's tin piece I have it in my stash, I hope TLG can surprise us but I can't really see them doing that.

Yes but Lego's quality standards would most likely prohibit them from making such a thin beard piece. It could possibly work if they use the rubbery plastic

Being fair, the Sensei Wu beard is nearly as thin as that. It's also a rubber piece so would bypass fragility concerns.

In fact. Based on that speculation; Have lego figures with rubber pieces leaked in full before? Perhaps there is a rubber beard but due to packaging difference for rubber pieces it wasn't picked up on the production line this fig was taken from.

I don’t mind the version that I’ve come up with for Viking Thor. Just give me a decent pair of legs with some printing and I’m good.

Looks like Lego’s still using their version of Stormbreaker, which is expected, I guess.

That's gonna be bad. I mean real real bad. Imagine Chitauri having a new face print. Oh well, it's not impossible to happen for final battle thor, but for lebowski? Yikes

[Metanoios]

Vidiyo got at least 9 new moulds and prints gallore (arm-printing,legs, printed accessories) in its first wave. Compare that to a wave for two of the most successful movies of all time and we are getting a handful of new torso and face prints and have to grasp for the last bit of hope for a new beard mould and two new moulds for Thanos (which we should have gotten from the start)

We've seen a blurry picture of Thor's side, and suddenly everyone's acting like the world's gonna end 

Just give it a chance, stop acting like it's suddenly a bad news. We have yet to see what he looks like.

You can't just compare a new, fresh in-house Lego theme to 10 year old Lego licensed theme. That's like comparing potatoes to banana split.

I'm this close to send a letter to Lego, this is not a drill.. I'll do it!!

You do realise where you are writing that? Acting like the world’s going to end and not giving things a chance before it’s been seen is par for the course.

Would you like the beard to be printed on the torso? That's a whole new different level of ugliness if that happens.

I would like the beard to be a piece, like they've done for any character with a thick beard

If they do that I might as well burn that figure as soon as I get it.

I like that you are staying positive with this, but the merefact that they cheapen out his hairpiece, it was indeed a bad news, before you say oh they didn't said new mold, they said long hair.. Aquaman is nowhere near to represent final battle hairpiece it's already ugly without the ponytail now the beard is also in jeopardy, everyone in here is entitled in their own opinion, Me? I always give TLG praises when it's due. I love what try did with Shuri, Rocket and Ironman MK3.

The fact that they are redoing the Infinity Saga mainly Endgame set, they want to give us fans what we deserve. With the blurry picture I can see Thor is already a failure. Just my 2 cents.

Yes I can. This wave is not 10 years old. It is released the same year as the in-house theme. The price per part ratio for the sets is even comparable. Both have licenses (Vidiyo has the universal music license). This Marvel wave is released after the commercial success of movie and merchandise sales. Lego has the chance to fix the abhorrent initial waves and do it right. They have the opportunity to show that they can do the figs just as detailed and with as much care to accuracy as some of the Chinese bootleg figs.

Vidiyo is a pipe-dream that is already discounted up to 40% at retailers in my country. But I guess that's where the big dollars lay hidden. On the clearance aisle with 50% discount...
