I finally got around to unpacking this Thor EX as well as Machiko Noguchi. The Machiko appears to be pretty much flawless whereas there were quite a few issues with Thor and it has been days without any reply from Sideshow.
Although I love the way the cape looks, I cannot get over the iron-on buttons that are on the bottom portion of his "shirt". My two daughters don't really like the pose at all but thought it looked okay overall (until they saw it next to Machiko) and they thought the base was well done.
I'm so torn...I can't decide whether to keep this one (assuming they still have replacement parts at this late stage) or whether to send it back.
Unfortunately a major part of the statue is missing so I cannot get a good feel for it. I know they'll never make one like this again...
