Saw them at Walmart in South East TN on Thursday... The Thors seams looked bad to me. Something was just really messy around his neck where the cape and shoulder met...
I left em for a collector...

Wow, musta been a bad one. IMO, Thor is one of the nicest ones they've made. Love the little lightening bolts in his eyes...

I have a question. What is the deal with these things? All of a sudden they are everywhere, and there are several series. Where did they come from? How did they suddely get so popular? Whats the appeal?

They came out in waves starting about a year ago. A lot of people seem to like them for whatever reason - I think you do or you don't, honestly. I'm not much of a fan myself.

Whats the appeal? It's like asking what's the appeal of Superhero Squads or Minimates (or ANY toy for an adult for that matter)...They're cheap ($9.99), they keep making great characters in cool designs(and either already have or are releasing in the future alot of different toy lines like Marvel, Starwars, Indiana Jones, GI Joe and Transformers), they all follow the same shape (basically), so you have a uniformity just like SHS, they are BIG for their price, they're cute as hell, they come with accessories, they have rare exclusives to hunt for, they have a few variants, they have black or white base figures to customize yourself, they look great displayed, etc.
