Hopefully we get official prototype photos soon from Hot Toys.... Easily one of my most anticipated figures

Same here. I just want them to put it up for PO so I can be done with EG.
Looking at the promo pic im just noticing that the either the handle of the axe is too thick or the hands are too small. In the movie his thumb can touch his other fingers wraping around it no problem. On the fig it seems like he wouldn't be able to even if he really tried. Yes i know his hands have to be open and back enough to place it in it in the first place but it does seem to be a bit off on scale than how it actually is. Hmmm i think its a bit of both but mostly the hand being too small. Not that it really matters

Mind you its honestly a completely worthless complaint ultimately lol. Just something i noticed. I also may just be too used to the bad tomatoe stormbreaker whose handle is on the thinner side. At least closer to the axe head and thickens out as it goes down. The size of stormbreaker also fluctuates in both IW and EG so it really is a trivial point haha

Makes a lot of sense actually. I can see them wanting it to be sturdy over timePerhaps HT is purposely making it thicker to prevent a repeat of the Bad Tomato axe's performance issues.
I feel like they probably just grabbed whatever hand they had available and used it for the pic. Look at the hand holding Mjolnir, it barely grasps that all the way around.
Honestly the fat viking thor look has VERY slowly grown on me since i first saw the movie

Still not sure if I prefer it to the short hair look

I think I'll wait for the viking Thor look without big gut, possibly either coming in "Thor Love and War" or "GotG 3".
Unlike most, I have no desire for a beer gut Thor, as much as I enjoyed it in the film I am more a "one definitive look" figure collector.
Currently AoU Thor for me, as I like the classic longer hair look with cape. However Viking Thor (without gut) would be a "worthy" upgrade.
I guess I'll wait and see. At least they are not replacing him like Batman or potentially Superman.
