Disney+ has never ceased to amaze its Marvel fanbase, with Loki being a standout series. As the Fall season rolls in, the hype for the next installment – its second season – is palpable. Ahead of this exhilarating return, Sideshow Collectibles has introduced a fresh line of Hot Toys Cosbaby sets dedicated to the series, spotlighting four unforgettable characters.
Iconic Characters Immortalized in Toys
Each of the two Cosbaby sets brilliantly captures Tom Hiddleston as Loki in his iconic Time Variance Authority (TVA) suit. He’s seen wielding a blazing sword and is accompanied by the captivating Alligator Loki. In addition, the set showcases Sophia Di Martino as Sylvie, styled in Loki garb, alongside Tara Strong‘s animated Miss Minutes. For a better perspective on size, both Loki and Sylvie figures are about 11.5 cm tall, while Miss Minutes and Alligator Loki have a height of 3.5 cm. Notably, all these characters come as bobbleheads.
While Sideshow’s primary Hot Toys figures often come with a hefty price tag, making it a tad out of reach for the average consumer, the Cosbaby line strikes a delightful balance. Offering the same quirky charm and affordability as a Funko Pop, it doesn’t compromise on the superior craftsmanship typical of a Hot Toy.
A Recap: Loki’s Enchanting Journey
Tracing back, Loki’s inaugural season portrayed an alternate version of the beloved God of Mischief from the Avengers series. After straying from his timeline, he finds himself reluctantly allied with the TVA. Partnering with Mobius, played by the talented Owen Wilson, they set out to neutralize a threat to the sacred timeline. This antagonist is none other than another Loki variant named Sylvie. The plot thickens as romantic tensions simmer between Loki and Sylvie, a relationship that’s laden with trust issues. A major twist in the narrative is when Sylvie eliminates “He Who Remains” (portrayed by Jonathan Majors). This act shatters the revered timeline, propelling the Marvel Cinematic Universe into unprecedented turmoil. Season one masterfully delves deep into themes of self-acceptance, with Sylvie’s betrayal of Loki etching itself as a poignant moment in recent cinematic history.
As for the anticipated second season, it continues from the gripping climax of its predecessor. Loki now grapples with “time slipping”, moving erratically between the past and the present. The unparalleled partnership of Mobius and Loki is our only hope in untangling the ensuing chaos, suggesting an even more formidable challenge looming on the horizon. Fans can expect an amplification of all the elements that made the debut season spellbinding. Be it the captivating sci-fi backdrop, the resonating John Carpenter-inspired melodies, or the intricate dynamics of Loki and Sylvie’s relationship, this installment promises a riveting watch. To top it all, the season will also introduce celebrated Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan among other new entrants.
