With all the hyper over Iron Man 3, it's easy to forget that another major Marvel movie is coming out this year. Thor: The Dark World, releasing in theaters November 8, 2013, is described as:

Set one year after The Avengers,, Thor as he battles to save all the Nine Realms from a mysterious enemy older than the universe itself. However, a primeval race led by Malekith, who is out for revenge, intends to descend the universe into darkness. Confronted by an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot overcome, Thor must reunite with Jane Foster and set out on a dangerous journey that will force him to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Today, new pre-order listings at BigBadToyStore.com give fans their first taste of new Thor toys, the following all scheduled for release this October and produced by Diamond Select. No pictures yet, but here's what's on tap (click each link to place a pre-order):
