While checking the toy aisles for new “Star Wars” figures, I ran across the new “Thor” movie figures jammed between The Vintage Collection and The Clone Wars. Okay, so shelf-stockers aren’t rocket scientists, I get it. The thing is, the figures themselves were just so much “been there, done that.” In fact, “JUST been there and done that,” as the hordes of “Iron Man 2” figures still rotting on the pegs bear silent witness to. And, really, “Thor” isn’t the hot property that Iron Man is. With the “Captain America: The First Avenger” movie toys also due to hit stores soon, I can see “Thor” pegwarming whlle “Captain America” does fairly well.
