Looks great! Loki gator and Frog thor

I can’t believe they threw in a Frog Thor! They get major style points for that. This is easily one of the best comic accurate figures I’ve seen in 1/6 so far. I like to keep my comic accurate Marvel and DC figures in the Marvel Legends/Mafex scale. Otherwise, I would probably be all over this.

The comics-accuracy is incidental -- this is Richard Grant as classic Loki, one of the variants from the Loki Disney Series.  So the actual credit for corresponding in style to the comics goes to the TV series designer.  Alligator Loki is also a Loki variant from the same series.  And Walter Simonson's Frog Thor also appears in the series, but only as a quick Easter Egg.  (Nevertheless it made enough of an impression that even the Lego version of Loki from the Disney Series is accompanied by a miniscule Frog Thor).

I am surprised and very much impressed that SooSoo Toys avoided using some standard muscular 1/6 body, and went to the trouble of adopting a much more unusual "dad bod".  As it turns out this was actually a big deal for the actor Richard Grant himself as in the amusing quote below:



Though Grant seemingly enjoyed playing the character, there was one thing he didn't appreciate. In the Marvel Studios Assembled documentary, Grant reflected on playing Classic Loki, saying he had an early question about his costume. "So I said, 'So it's in the green Lycra bodysuit with muscles,'" he recalled asking Marvel. According to Grant, "They said, 'No, you're not gonna have the muscles.'" The actor joked he was "very distraught" by the lack of musculature. Grant said, "having been born without any" muscles, he thought he would finally get to don a muscle-bound costume. It clearly didn't happen.

Looks like Dustin Hoffman to me.

LOL!
Amazing, how much attention these variants are getting. Fun though!

I’m just happy for anyone that gets any of these one-off type of characters that the licensed companies seem unwilling to touch. Whatever people may feel about these illegally made figures, they certainly fill a demand in our niche little hobby.

I saw this yesterday and was wondering what it was. Thanks for shedding light on it MBAM, and for posting it up in glorious detail, Mark. The critter gods are delightful. This Loki is not exactly exciting to me, but it does look like they have pulled off another very successful rendition, filling another niche that others have not thought of yet.

Looks like the new president loki by hot toys also has a loki gator, who did it better? Soosoo or Hot toys? hehehe.

Technically, not completely a niche that absolutely no one has thought of yet, to the extent that comics-Loki got a 1/6 figure in the last wave of Captain Action.  So the real news is the Richard Grant sculpt: an appealing actor but I can't think of a specific character I'd want to bash.

Captain Action (Dr Evil) Loki was actually pretty good within the lower cost and simpler material limitations of that line (including using a mask rather than a headsculpt).  Here he is, showing miniscule Lego Frog Thor:

Actually I don't think this is one "of these one-off type of characters that the licensed companies seem unwilling to touch" as I suspect Hot Toys would probably have made him next, but maybe not now that SooSoo got there first.  HT have shown the leads "main Loki" and Sylvie as well as President Loki (a very easy variation) so he might well have been next.  But this SooSoo Toys is excellent, so no regrets,

MBAM, your knowledge of these things is truly profound. Thanks for providing perspective. But SooSoo is providing a high-end realistic rendition of the character (I didn't realize it was derived from comics alone), and possibly taking a chance (or more than one).

My description may have been confusing: at the same time, this is fully comics accurate, but also it is the Richard Grant Loki variant from the TV Series. That was actually the brilliant joke of it: the show has Loki "variants," and so Richard Grant showed up (at the end credits of a middle episode) not in the Loki MCU gear but the vintage cheesier comics costume. There was a similar riff in Captain America the First Avenger where Evans, before being given a more adjusted MCU costume, appeared onstage at WW2 USO shows wearing the full-on Captain America 1940's comics outfit.

Well, I'm glad it satisfies two audiences at once.
