As always, Toy Fair 2011 drew quite a crowd of industry movers and shakers, collectors, and fans this year — but it also attracted a few big movie stars, too. Case in point: "Thor" star Chris Hemsworth and "Captain America: The First Avenger" star Chris Evans made a surprise appearance at the Hasbro showroom this week to check out the upcoming line of toys based on their Marvel blockbusters.
We posted our video (and photo) preview of the "Captain America" movie toys yesterday, but it's always fun to see what the actors themselves think of the toys based on their likeness. The good folks at Hasbro were nice enough to send over a few photos of Evans and Hemsworth checking out the goods — including a nice shot of both actors goofing around with a kid-friendly version of Thor's hammer and a plastic, disc-shooting replica of Captain America's shield.
Too old for toys? I SAY THEE NAY!!!
Last year, "Iron Man 2" star Robert Downey Jr. dropped by Hasbro's showroom, and this year the toys received a visit from Thor and Cap themselves — I officially like this trend. Keep it up, Hasbro crew.
