Walmart Infinity Stone colored Chrome Thanoses (Thanoi?)

Postby **Chase Variant** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 8:38 am

“Coming to stores and Walmart.com in late October, Walmart will have an exclusive chrome Thanos in six different colors, one for each of the Infinity Stones. But if you’re attending New York Comic Con, you might be able to snap up the Mad Titan a little early.”

Interesting lineup and commitment to Pop Culture collectibles. Cant wait to see how these deploy to the stores. I'm intrigued.

As a pretty big Thanos fan since the 90’s, I want these. But I don’t have high hopes. I also almost clicked “buy it now” on the Purple Chrome last week for $90.

I just saw this on ig and Oh my...this is exciting and terrifying at the same time. My Walmart never has anything, but maybe this will change?!

Interesting... I wonder what they have planned for NYCC. Maybe some advance giveaways?

It looks like they changed the face for the purple one from smiling to angry. I believe this is to preserve the originality of the original purple chrome Thanos. The first picture Walmart released showed all 6 smiling, but I just saw a close up of the face for the purple one and its an angry face, different from the others.

Mine either. I heard they are getting rid of the DVD section and replacing it with a collectibles section that will heavily feature Funko. Supposedly the change should happen around October 15th.

Oh excellent, thanks for sharing
I have been eyeballing the purple chrome Thanos since it was announced over in Australia
I think this will be a nice substitute!

That's good to hear and awesome if it actually happens

Nice , I need them all

Going to pass on most of these, will probably just get the red one.

So, 1 in 50 Walmarts will actually get them on the shelf. That's a guess on my part. It would be better if they were 2 3-Packs or a massive 6-Pack set.

Purple is upset that the Prince Purple Rain box has a misspelling.

The chances of these hitting the shelves at my local Walmart are slim to none. They refuse to order POPs, gonna take my business online when these pop up or my friends get lucky at NYCC

Postby **disphugginflip** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 1:58 pm

Ive always said these pops look like Lebron James!

Postby **Rice71** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 2:04 pm

These look cool but I might pass on them. I’ll stick to the purple chrome Australia release.

I read the post, thank you for the info. I don't think you have any idea what my Walmart looks like and has for several years. Wonderful if it happens, but I find it hard to believe this will apply to EVERY walmart :-k

I didn’t even know the Prince Purple Rain is out yet. I’ve only been able to find the Purpe Rain one.

Placeholders for the walmart website have been posted in a separate thread. So no need to worry about the shelves being stocked!

Look very nice, but my local Walmart stores did not carry any exclusives; at least I did not see anyone in store. So will keep eye on it but not expecting any hope on it.

Postby **skillawashere** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 4:07 pm

A few thoughts on these; really, six different chrome? I get they are for the infinity stones but geez. Second, thank god they aren’t doing this for iron man. I do like how they made the purple one different so it keeps the Australia one exclusive but man, six chromes. I like chrome a lot but it’s getting to a point where it comes off lazy.

Postby **akagalar** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 4:59 pm

So I guess these be in the new collectible section of Walmart, as Funko just announced?

Postby **KILLERANTZ** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 5:15 pm

hope my Walmart gets them

Postby **lavery01** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 5:21 pm

I'll be passing on these. lol

chrome overload for Thanos IMO.

Postby **bpc908** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 5:24 pm

I like how all the loot crates are just filled with the crap they couldn't get rid of in the normal boxes

They aren't doing this for iron man yet you mean.

Postby **The Popfather** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 5:43 pm

I am so excited for these! I hope they will be stocked abundantly at my local stores. Really want one of each.

I am going to have to get my Thanos on and collect all of the stones!! Love these!!

Postby **PotterLiu** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 6:57 pm

Like Thanos, I might need to collect all the colors.

Postby **CaliCollectibles** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 7:04 pm

If I see them in-store I'll get the sad purple one. =P

Postby **KidMarvel** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 7:06 pm

More chromes, definitely going to get them all. Unsmiling purple Thanos looks off with them
