Here's something I don't get very often, a Marvel Select figure. And it's a Disney Store exclusive too.
I wanted a bigger Thor to replace my Marvel Legends one. I thought this figure looked impressive and so I got it. It's a pretty good figure, I just have a few gripes. His face is only okay to me, it looks flat and he's got a bit of a constipated look. His body looks disproportianate. The torso is too long, giving him a stumpy appearance. The thing I like most about this figure is his cape. Its big and flowy. It goes up then curves downwards and has a wider gap between cape and shoulders than most other Thor figures. The ML3 Thor had something like this but here it looks so much better.
Articulation. His head can be rotated and can be moved up and down slightly. His hair along with his cape hinders it though. His arms can be raised up till they reach the cape. He can also stretch his arms outwards. Elbows have swivel and hinge action. Wrists swivel. The waist can be rotated. His legs can be moved sidewards to a certain point. And rotated forwards but he will just look awkward. He's not able to do a running pose. It really needs a thigh swivel. Knees are double jointed. Ankles have hinge and swivel action.
The Mjolnir that comes with him is a little small. Its the one on the right in the following pic.
He comes with a rock base. It has some blue streaks in it. The effects of lightning perphaps.
He stands almost a head taller than the Walmart Marvel Legends Thor. And he's about the same height as the SDCC Thor.
I will most likely stick with this Thor until a better one comes along. The next figure I hope to get a better one of is a Jim Lee Cyclops.
