It Cometh from the Asgardian Toy Chest

Thor, the God of Thunder got the movie treatment. Obviously there will be Thor toys available... I gots myself a movie Thor... Let's take a look shall we?

Thor comes in his own personalized package with a pic of Movie Thor.
The figure I bought is Battle Hammer Thor. The suit he wears looks like one of the earlier Thor pics that was leaked. The suit isn't exactly comic book accurate, but it kinda has a Marvel Thor vibe to him.

The fig is 3 3/4" (Joe scale...) and let's get on with the review!

Articulation:
His articulation pretty much the same as a GI Joe figure... The only difference is the ball joints on his hips.
4.5
Paint and Sculpt:
The Sculpt is pretty detailed and Thor does look a lot like Miley's (ex)Brother-in-law... You know I had to mention her. Paintwise, He's competing with Mattel's paint people. (but doing better.) The front of the fig is pretty much flawless... the back is another story. He has a silver splotch on a an area that is meant to be black, a red splotch on a silver area and a black splotch on a red area...
4.0
Accessories:
The Odinson has Mjolnir and a Sword that turns into a Hammer. Mjolnir looks great! It has some weathering detail, but not like The Hasbro Marvel Legends Thor whose Mjolnir looked more like a cinder block. The Transforming Sword on the other hand... Tis a most foul item crafted from the feces of the frost giants! It's too big for him to hold and too impractical as a blade or a hammer.
3.0

Overall: 3.83
The Sword and the blotchy back hurt his score... Other than that I am pleased with the Odinson.
