Product Description
A Diamond Select Release. Sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios. The best-selling Marvel Select line is proud to add another of the Marvel movie franchises to its lineup. This time the movie Thor makes his Marvel Select debut. Based on the likeness of actor Chris Hemsworth from the upcoming May 2011 blockbuster, this movie-accurate Thor figure includes Marvel Select's standard 16 points of articulation. As an added bonus, the figure comes packaged with a display stand based on the mythical rainbow bridge that can be combined with the base from the Loki movie figure to form a diorama.

Since no product listing ANYWHERE lists the size of the figure, I'll state that this figure is 7 inches tall and looks really great, capturing Hemsworth's likeness well, as well as his awesome costume.
Now, the figure comes with 2 things -- his hammer, which he can only hold in his right hand, and a huge circular base that is meant to be joined with a piece that comes with the Loki figure. Both pieces are pointless separately (I don't have the Loki figure, but I assume it's useless without Thor's base). Since I have no plans on getting the Loki figure, the big circular base that came with this is just a big disc.
Anyway, this toy is not for kids. There are some sharp edges and the articulation borders on a joke. The knees barely bend, the ankles barely move, and arms hardly rotate too. You can pretty much display him as he is out of the box and that's about it. I don't think children will get much mileage out of him.
So, if this is just for display - I recommend it! If it's meant for play, get one of the little ones you'll find in a toy store or convenience store.

As a collector, one of the most frustrating things you can experience is opening a very nice looking, detailed, well-sculpted figure, just to have a hand break off because the joint was too tight. I'm no veteran to figures and collecting, and I have witnessed this all too often, especially with Diamond products. Star Trek TNG figures were horrible with hands breaking off because the joints were too tight as well. Even being extremely careful to gradually loosen them for posing--SNAP! And the additional crappy part is the plastic they use is a type that doesn't take very well to Gorilla Glue.
Disappointing. Otherwise a great figure, but when you snap off a hand right out of the package... boo.

Good toy for collectors and looks good on a shelf with the other Avengers. Joints are kind of stiff though. Also people areselling this for $150? Are you kidding me? Marvel Select is not worth that much! Ridiculously stupid price. Atleast in the $20 range at retail, less even better.

Great figure, nice likeness!
This figure looks a lot like Chris Hemsworth, and is a great quality sculpt. I got it as a collector's item, so I haven't taken it out of the package but it looks pretty durable.
