Just recieved mine today #24, a lot more heavier than it looks and this piece is awesome. The stand is great looking yea the Thor name could of been a different color but it takes nothing away from the piece with the color it is. The helmet great and the hammer even has leather wrapped around the handle.
A very cool set cant wait to see what else is in store for us.

This is turning out to be a dream team up between Sideshow and the Gore Group.

It's a great piece, but I agree, the Thor name was not a good idea, it makes it look cheap, when in fact it is extremely well made with leather straps for the handle. The helm is great and the stand very interesting looking and nordic.

I really like the logo and the fact that it's in the traditional Thor colors. Otherwise it's not immediately clear to "non-believers" what it is. But with the logo - there is no moment of - "...a winged helmet and a big hammer............oh!"

I just got #45!:banana

Yep, it awesome! I'm actually going to display it between Alex Ross' THOR: GODDESS of Thunder bust and Andy's 1602 Thor statue! A:vik nd to root them to the more "traditional" artwork, I may hang a large blowup portrait of Kirby's Thor behind the three. A sort of THOR "shrine"!

so is this an obvious sign that a 1/4 scale Thor is on the way?
a la the 1/4 scale Samaritan being sold which was just the gun for the 1/4 Hellboy fig.

Thats my assumption also Occu, it would be a great piece!

I don't think there is necessarily a 1/4 Thor coming. This Marvel Archive line is a seperate thing and there isn't likely to be crossover.

It would be a travesty not to have a 1/4 thor, between the clothing and sculpt he ideal for mix media....

Well I just receive #56. And I am very impressed with it. Looks outstanding.

I am also amazed at Fedex, it appears they have stepped it up a notch. The box had had something poke into it with such force that it went all the way through the styrofoam packing. I had to peel the outer box away in order to slip the styrfoam out, then my heart sank as I realized the puncture went completely through the styrofoam to the piece itself. Once I finally got the seal broken and examined the interior, I was relieve that nothing vital had been damaged. It had poked through near the helmet and by some miracle hadn't actually made contact with anything bad enough to hurt it.

Makes me wonder what Fedex was doing with the package. Target practice with javelins or something :google

That is funny!!

Fortunately my helmet was not damaged. So it is all displayed proudly now. I guess I got real lucky this time.

Im hoping that if they do a Thor it will look very viking-esque. Huge beard, dreads maybe and a menacing "dont ***** with me" expression.

.... well wait. maybe I dont. then it would mean I'd have to debate on another purchase.
