A few weeks back Marvel showed off the first image of Chris Hemsworth as Thor, and we all thought it was pretty cool. You know what else is cool? This.
Collider has posted images very similar to the concept art we saw of Captain America yesterday.

While I don’t question the authenticity of either Thor or Cap’s concept artwork, the style of the costumes suggests something more modern than WWII or Asgard would probably produce. I get the feeling these are Thor’s modern day Earth superhero clothes rather than his native garb.

On the otherhand, we have no idea what Kenneth Branagh and Marvel intend Asgard to look like, so you be the judge.

What do you think of Thor’s costume? Can you see him fighting alongside Iron Man and Captain America?

Recently we heard that there would be a new staction figure line and a new animated series for Thundercats. Well now we know what came of the action figure line. I did not see this coming, but Bandai has been named the global toy licensee of the new Thundercats series.
I was truly expecting Mattel to get this license and for the line to be in scale with their DC and MOTU offerings. Bandai’s best effort is Power Rangers and Ben10, which is not saying much. Bandai is really going to have to step their game up to get collectors to sign on to this line, myself included.

Press release after the jump.
