*** Head on over to my Ebay Auctions to see what’s available this week, or commission me if you’d like your very own custom action figure like this one. ***

The Marvel Select Thor Dark World figure is cool, but I wanted to give him a better looking cloth poseable cape. I made my own pattern for it, carefully measured of course, and cut it out in this really great red material that wasn’t too heavy and looked nice for the scale. I used some hemming tape to wrap some bendy armature wire down each side of the cape so it could be poseable. To attach it, I cut off the cape clasps from the Thor figure, and dremelled a hole in each side. The cape was then threaded through, including the wire. I then hot glued it down to the shoulder pads, and carefully reattached the cape clasps. A little paint later to touch everything up, and now Thor is ready to fight with a much more regal looking poseable cape!

Why aren’t there any characters from the film X-men First Class in your marvel select line ? Will there be more film based characters in your future marvel select line ?

DST CHUCK: The movie was written and filmed very quickly, so there was not time to execute a full figure. It is way to early to say if we will make movies from the follow up movie, but none are planned for First Class.

DST CHUCK: Jeremy, I think something like the old N2 Toys Hardened line would be cool with a mix of action stars from different movies, but it’s not something we’re looking into at this time.
