He's got the best size befitting a Norse god and Erick Sosa loaded him with as much detail as muscle.
Yes. That was incredible accurate.

I choose this Thor because side by side with his fellows Avengers it looks magnificent. He is the central piece of my Avengers display and his presence is absolute.

You actual fell sorry for the Bowem museum piece next to it.

You guys are even stating that the Koto Thor is underrated.....while you could easily see that Bowen Action Thor is highly rated and regarded as one of the best representations of Thor out there.

The paint job on mine is also flawless in my opinion and that cape....DAMN!

If I were only to display Thor it would be my choice as well but the Thor from Kotobukiya is perfect with the other Avengers.

Great choice. The Action Thor is truly majestic!

Yep great review. I prefer the Bowen Action Thor but you really can't go wrong with any of them.

The Base in the Action Thor kills it. It is one of the best bases of all times. A true masterpiece.

It’s the one that I choose from a few years ago actually.

The museum Thor from Bowen is boring and looks like a damn statue… No movement whatsoever.

The spinning hammer Thor is interesting but the colors did not earn my love.

When I put all the factors into it my decision was clear.

Sometimes an amazing piece fails to fulfill what you need in your collection.

Again… My opinion. You don’t have to like it or to agree on it but you will respect it.
I also respect your opinion. The Kotobukiya Thor is a magnificent piece. One of the Highlights of the classic Avenger line.

At the end of the day, what matters is your personal opinion and individual preference. It is your collection and no one else's.
