Pre-Order Marvel Select Thor and Jane Foster from Thor: The Dark World at TFAW.com

Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman in Thor The Dark World

I know that Diamond Select Toys must have solicited the Marvel Select figures from Thor: The Dark World a while back, but I just saw them listed on the Things From Another World website. And it turns out they’ve got the lowest prices I’ve seen for pre-ordering them. At $19.99 each, they are lower by a fair amount than I’ve seen them on other e-tailers, including Amazon, with the Marvel Select Thor figures from the Dark World at $24.99 each.

These should arrive in late September. Thor: The Dark World opens in the US on November 8.

I usually post Border Patrol on Tuesdays, but am a little behind schedule. Luckily, the auctions I had spotted are still available – this week I found a trio of customs that range from life-size to 1/12 scale.
