5.0 out of 5 stars Marvel Select Thor., December 28, 2008

This review is from: Diamond Select Toys Marvel Select: Thor Action Figure (Toy)

i have to agree 100% with Elliot: this is far & away the best Thor action figure i have ever seen.

a lot of this has to do with that fact that the look is based upon the Olivier Coipel design, which i will admit i love, but it's really more about out-and-out quality, and this fellow's got that in spades.

quite a looker if left free of action upon your favorite bookshelf (like mine), but also tough (and just plain cool) enough to hold his own in a Legends vs. Selects brawl (like my buddy's, as his kids LOVE to play this game about twice an hour). : )

while the Select sculpt size is a wee bit bigger than the Legends scale, with Thor (much like the Hulk), dude, the difference actually makes the figure all the better. (i placed him alongside my Legends Avengers figures and the look is killer, man!)

in conclusion, this figure recently bumped Legends Colossus from my overall no. 1 spot, man, and that alone says it all, man!

a hall-of-famer, man.

As said with Marvel Select: Wolverine Action Figures:

This is a GREAT toy....for an adult or teenager. My husband has, and always will be, a lover of Marvel Comics and it's heros AND villians. This are GREAT for being enjoyed by an adult. It comes with a gorgeous stand and the cape is removeable. The detail is fabulous. The toy, however, is top heavy and has a hard time standing on the stand without falling over.

I would not suggest purchasing this item for someone/a child that actively likes to play with his action figurines. The joints are difficult to move. The outfit is not structured to be put on the figurine. It comes with tiny pieces of plastic weapons. They are only designed to move in very specific ways.

This model (toy) is specifically a "Marvel Select" toy. Marvel has many different types of action figures. WITHOUT a DOUBT, they have AWESOME actions figures and toys! Check out some of the other models and save these for the older fans.

Of course, this is just my .02 cents! :)

I have to agree that this is an excellent incarnation of Thor!

I have a massive collection of Marvel Legends scale figures and this Thor sits among them.

The added height of the Marvel Select works very, very well, and he is about the same height, maybe just a tiny bit taller, than the BAF Ares.

I also happen to prefer his new duds to the original, more traditional, Thor costume.

Highly recommend to any fan of Marvel Legends, Marvel Select, Thor or Avengers.

Oh yea, it makes a great solid toy for kids too :-)
