I was able to pick one up from an awesome, local seller on eBay. Love the figure!
His ankles are a tad loose and wobbly. Is there a decent fix or is it using some superglue?
Any help would be appreciated.
Excuse the phone pic, but I unboxed him at work.

For my dark world Thor I took a small piece of blue masking tape and covered the head of the peg where it clicks into the foot joint. It gave enough mass to fill the pocket and made it more snug. Plus it’s nothing that will completely alter the figure so it solves both problems.
How do the arms on this figure hold up? I'm thinking of getting the Ragnarok version, but I'd like to know if this is a "don't leave them bent" scenario.

My AOU Thor also have weak ankles, too! I fixed them by applying masking tape to both ends of the double ball joint. Now it seems a bit more stable than before.
After watching a comparison video recently, the AOU Thor looks like the much better figure to me over the Dark World version with it's open mouth. And I also prefer the darker red cape on the AOU as well.
Ultimately though I decided to go for the Road Worn as my one Thor figure as it comes from one of the most fun and badass scenes with the character. And also because I kinda prefer the less gaudy and ornate armor.
Unpopular opinion but I prefer AoU to TDW. The sculpt is more detailed, the figure seems better proportioned, and you get two hammers (for what it's worth). What TDW does have going for it as the sculpt lends itself much better for an action pose.. (the exact same problem I'm thinking I'll have with the Peter Parker head)
The Road Worn outfit is a little less MCU traditional in look, but I think the paint on the head is better (Hemsworth has never had a mere 5 o'clock shadow in the movies), and who can say no to a giant skull chained to the back?..
Just picked him up. Love it!
I found him on a FB buy/sell group. He’s also at my LCS, but I wasn’t willing to shell out $350 on this one.
