The base cards look ugly with a thick lightning border. And there are way too many parallels and auto parallels. There's a Chris Hemsworth/Natalie Portman/Tessa Thompson triple auto which looks nice. A huge drawback is UD calling the Classic Thor Adventure Manufactured Film Cels as a box hit. Also, only two guaranteed autos per case.

Adventurue?

At least it's got Portman and Hemsworth, I guess. His stickers gotta be running low, though.

Could have got more signed. Guy signs all the time now

good to see Portman in this but i'll wait until they slap a sticker on a nicer looking card down the line.

All of the card images released so far are mockups. Hopefully the finished product won't have a misspelled word like the mockup.

[glorbgorb]

I hope so. The more I look at that design, the more it looks like a poorly designed homemade card to me.

Also, not to be too pedantic, but "A Classic Thor Adventurue Autographs". Shouldn't it be singular, no 's'?

And to further pile on, I share Portman's confused look. I don't even remember a shot of a statue like that in the movie, but I've forgotten a lot about that movie!

A Classic Thor Adventure is the manufactured cel set, so I think these are supposed to be A Classic Thor Adventure, Autographs variation or parallel. Clear as mud, right?

Someone on the UD design team really loves text.

I was looking forward to collecting the Zombie Jambalaya cards until I saw the design.

I think that's the thing from Eternals isn't it?

Outside of the misspelling I don't understand why they have to make up stupid names for their autograph sets.

The autograph itself is shoved in the corner like an afterthought.

The main part of the card is some image of a statue. . . I have no idea how it relates to anything.

Portman's photo is also shoved off to the side. Not the worst photo, although it is kinda odd that she is kinda staring in the distance. . .

The text 'Natalie Portman as Mighty Thor' is also just sort of shoved in there. It isn't centered under the photo, it's not vertically centered by the autograph itself and it doesn't even look like it is centered in the dead space in the corner of the card.

It's like the people who are designing this card have no idea what is important about this AUTOGRAPH card.

[glorbgorb]

It's also a manufactured cel, so there's that. Boo.

Coming out today.. Anybody buying or see a rip yet?

[kyle1707]

I actually do like all the movie products

But if you wait they all drop from anywhere from 45 - 65 dollars

I did buy Spider-Man no way home because it’s Spider-Man for 90

I’m waiting for moon knight to go to 60-70

This does have 2-3 big autos so this and Spider-Man might hold higher

[ricebellypanda]

Yeah I bought some Eternals and Shang chi for ~$40 each on Black Friday which was fun

It's weird Steel City and D&A have them coming out today but my LCS and Blowout have a 5/15/24 release date. D&A even has a 2 box break (9 spots still open) scheduled for 4/18/24.

I'll probably gamble with a box or two for this one as Portman is the only auto I want from here.

[ricebellypanda]

It's out for sure. I saw rips on youtube

There's a rip in Japan where a case was opened with a Mantis, Hemsworth and a Hemsworth printing plate auto. 3 in a case... The UD advert for Thor says "at least 2 autos" per case. Didn't hear from anyone who had more than 2 in Strange.

Sadly, my two boxes were what you expect from MCU product- 2 manufactured cels and 2 "god" inserts, Drax and Zeus. Not good enough to put in the break section lol. It's always a gamble, so not too upset about it.
