I have the ARH Thor AP with change out hammer. Like it a lot but if I REALLY like the new one I might be interested in trading the old for a new if someone likes the old better. Will wait to see what it looks like first of course.

I don't want a Marvel version but I think the spinning hammer on the XM studios Thor is genius and one of the best statue effects ever.(My current interest is because I'm reading Gaiman's Norse mythology book.)
I think the XM Thor is a terrible piece. I don't like the spinning hammer at all. Pose and heads on that are terrible. The old SS 'grail' is much better.

imo the ARH Thor is the best of all and yes it will be hard to top! It's a beast of a statue!

ha to each their own I guess.

I agree the last ARH Thor is the best Thor ever.
The repaint this guy does is stunning as well:

Oh really? I didn't realize Averone got custom paints done on his ARH statues.

Wonder whatever happened to him? He just disappeared and later on we saw a message from Arahom that people should stop sending him messages because he no longer represents the company.

XM's not that bad, but I'm not crazy about it either... But the original SS pajama Thor looks horrible, there is no muscle definition except in his sculpted arms....

As for ARH Thor, looks awesome but it's not really a comic Thor...

I don't like this repaint..I like the original better.

The big let down for me was the head sculpt and no matter how you paint it still looks crap! If the head sculpt was nailed this would be almost an unbeatable piece!

ARH needs to improve on the head sculpts. Lets hope the new Thor will be an improvement and not be another Achilles EX disaster

Averone has one of the best collections I have seen! I have no idea what happened with him and ARH
