Great review.....thanks.

What about the hair color....do you think it would have looked better with the proto color....?

Hmmm... The hair didn't even register as an issue either way. Are you saying you wanted it lighter or darker? It looks just fine from where I'm standing.

I was rather fond of the first light color, myself.....gave it more of a comic look I though......

Great review RS. I am very happy with mine and chose t display with the spinning hammer and bearded portrait with helmet.

My only, and I point out very minor beef with the sculpt is his belt. As you look at the statue the belt to the right of the buckle is thicker than other parts of the belt.small point but once I noticed it,

I noticed that too bags, like it's very obvious it was cast in halves. It's a negligible flaw and I can't even see it from my display angle.

I had fun reading your review risingstar.

It was a real pleasure and you really brought me back when I used to read the Thor comics - back in the day. Your right - this statue really does appear to pop out of the comic and onto your shelf.

I am so glad that I was able to score a Thor myself - even at cost when initially I couldn't get one at pre-order due to the XM craze prior to the non-SEA embargo.

Thanks for taking the time.

Oh one question does your Thor cape ends, sit flush to his shoulders?

For some reason - my Thor's cape has a slight gap of ~2mm on its left shoulder area. I suspect the support for the bottom of the cape is hindering his left side of cape from completely going in. I really don't want to force it but was wondering if you or others had a special angle for the cape to go in - so that it sits flush?
