I love it when things work out on their own.

If they ever decide to make this into a classic Thor variant, then I'll highly consider it. And to make it less of a copy, they can change the Destroyer to a head of a Frost Giant.

For my modern Thor ....I'll stick with my SSC Thor - Breaker of Brimstone.

I really want to want this statue, but I don't. I love everything about the sculpt and details on Thor, but the pose kills this one for me. Not being able to see the hammer is a deal breaker. All XM would have needed to do is make him a little more up right with the hammer held high in one hand and this would have been a home run. Not exactly like, but more like this:

I have that Koto and it's ok. I understand why people would like this to be different for potential display issues, but then it wouldn't be what it is. And there's more options out there.

Photos on the product page all look good to me which is why I'll use a pedestal.

Not really a Thor guy, and won’t be getting it, but I’m loving it. Eye of the beholder I guess.

I think it looks great, just not $980 great.

I like classic Thor, but I think this is the best Thor statue ever made.

And here is XM putting out all their stuff right NOW!... ???


To me it feels like they've got a hidden agenda like maybe they need to pay off their own debts by putting all this new pre-orders right now while this mayhem is happening around the world, why can't they wait until it's all over and the world goes back to some sort of normality and the average person is in a better position to purchase these sort of non-essential items.
They need to bring in revenue so they can pay their employees. If you can keep your business open during this time then you will! Are you still employed?
