It was just last week when we saw some of the first set photos released from Thor: Ragnarok and now, we’re getting our first look at some of the toys involved in the marketing of the film.

In photos that surfaced earlier this evening, we have our first look at six of the LEGO minifigs that will be involved in the Ragnarok LEGO sets. In the first two images in the leak, we see the film’s titular character Thor Odison (Chris Hemsworth) facing off against the Hulk in what seems like the Planet Hulk-type of gladiatorial battle that may be appearing in the movie.
Up Next: Could Thor Lose His Arm In Ragnarok?
While Marvel did have the weaponry and armor that the Hulk uses in Ragnarok at their booth at San Diego Comic Con last summer, we see it again here, with the jolly green giant wearing a helmet and armor over his left shoulder. He’s also seen with either tattoos or white body paint on his right chest and abdomen.
There looks to be two different versions of the Thor minifig, the one seen in the Hulk battle appears to have glowing eyes surrounding by cracks or wrinkles, which could hint at some sort of mind control or usage of a power we have yet see the God of Thunder take on. Absent from the minifig pictures — and from all pictures we’ve seen from set thus far — is Odinson’s trusty hammer, Mjolnir.
In the leaked images, we also see the minifig versions of The Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum) and Hela (Cate Blanchett) and a look at what appears to be the first minifig to feature Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) as he’s in the process of “Hulking out,” green eyes and all. And, of course it’s not a complete Thor-based LEGO set without the master of mischief Loki (Tom Hiddleston).
The last MCU to be released by Marvel this year, Ragnarok also happens to be the last flick we’re seeing pieces from LEGO sets.Sets of Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 are now available for purchase while we’ve gotten looks at various Spider-Man:Homecoming sets that are sure to come out shortly.
Thor: Ragnarok currently enjoys a 4.17 out of 5 rating on ComicBook.com’s anticipation rankings.
