This is the latest in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of blog posts memorializing cancelled toys. Our subject today is ToyBiz's Frog Thor.<\/p>\n

At SDCC 2006, ToyBiz, knowing their time with the Marvel license was coming to an end, took the opportunity to show off a lot of new product, but also a lot of things that had been planned, but cancelled. That's where we saw AoA Wild Child<\/a>, the Bring on the Bad Guys<\/a> henchmen, and the X-Babies<\/a>, for instance. Well, one of the other pack-ins they showed off was a tiny Throg:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note that Frog Thor and Throg are not the same character: when Thor Odinson was turned into a frog and then regained his powers, he also regained his stature; the book specifically identifies him as being 6'6\", so he was human-sized, he just looked like a frog still. But what no one saw at the time was that a shard of Mjolnir was left behind, and another frog, named Puddlegulp, picked it up, becoming the mighty Throg. Who was<\/b> frog-sized rather than human-sized. So big one? Frog Thor. Little one? Throg.<\/p>\n
