This is a quick rough comparison, if they post an image of the custom stormbreaker with a known body or sculpt it will be easier to scale. I went my more arm length to adjust it
I think this is a great Thor. Movie wise he was fine, I felt they ignored some of the growth from Ragnarok (now he needs to have a hammer to be the God of Thunder again?) Figure wise, I would say Roadworn and Gladiator are also top of the line with regards to Thor figures. If I didn't have a Thor, this would be a great one to grab. But I already own Gladiator, and do have limited space...so hard to justify all these shaved headed Thors. Getting multiples of the same character is a real stretch for myself and others. Plus, I don't really like this Thor costume that much. The bear arms make it look better, but then we are getting pretty close to gladiator thor.
The rule breaker though is Iron Man. I only have the DC MK 6, but that Concept Art 46 is just tremendous. It is arguably one of the best MCU armor designs, one of the most advanced looking, and yet the paint scheme is reminiscent of classic comics. It is a figure that I could display with almost any marvel shelf and make it work. I feel about 75% chance of nabbing that at this point.

I think statements like these significantly miss the context of IW. Nowhere was it stated that he isnt the god of thunder without the hammer nor was it ever implied. His godliness never stemmed from the hammer and the Russos certainly never implied that. Especially from his many feats pre stormbreaker (surviving in space, anchoring the massive CITY size rings of the the forge, and tanking a neutron star for a short while). He was certainly portrayed as godly before he got the axe. Yes, he got a power upgrade in Ragnarok and was able to channel his power from himself directly without an object... But looking back in that final fight with Hela, did his increased power help him stop her? No, even then it wasnt enough. And with Thanos who is arguably stronger than Hela( without the stones alone, much more so with them), did ppl really expect thor to just be able to lightning punch him to death? Cmon really? No, he needed a weapon to actually harm thanos. Simple as that. Now that they established him as his own god without the weapon, we can give him a new one without it seeming like a crutch. And looking back, as powerful as Bor and Odin were (his forefathers), did they still not have a kings weapon? I feel the Russos and the writers of IW piggy backed off Thor in Ragnarok brilliantly. As it showed a pain and loss (ppl, family, and home) behind his new sense of humor and midset. It added depth. And where as Ragnarok established him as powerful on his own, IW simply advanced his ablilities further through natural progression. Not stepping back i feel. The ONLY thing i would say they diluted from the Thor3 was the loss of his eye. For whatever production excuse they came up with, I still feel it was just silly to undue that particular change. It really felt weak and the patch helped mirror him to odin. But outside of that, i think Thor has only progressed.
I agree with some elements, but I disagree. Thor was arguably just as strong as Hela, Hela however was immune to basically anything Asgardian since she converted the Odin Force to her death magic and immortality. Having the power of immortality is something Thanos arguably didn't obtain. Only Surtur could defeat her since he destroys Asgard (the source of her power.)
Thor's journey in Ragnarok was that the weapon did not provide him with extra power, that within himself he held the true power.
In interviews, the Russos have specifically states they were not overly aware with what was going on in Ragnarok, just that they knew Thor was losing his hammer and they preferred a Thor with a hammer. Thor running at Thanos as the beginning of the movie hitting him with a lead pipe makes a good joke, but Thor is already way past this development wise (when pieces of the ship contained him as his brother and friends were killed, why did he not unleash his power then, break his chains, and zap everybody.)
I do like Thor's progression in IF from a self-contained view. Thor regressing to need a weapon (when the point of Ragnarok is that godly weapons are pointless) is what I don't like. Thor holding the rings open and everything is cool, but doesn't make a ton of sense in context of IF, since his power is bouncing around. Personally I would have rather seen Drax or somebody else who needs further character development to sacrifice their lives to help Thor. That would have been better writing.

The eyepatch is potentially temporary too. If Hemsworth sticks around for future films such as something involving New Asgard, he can always bring it back when in the king role.
Man i would love an old king thor movie. With a little grey in hemsworths long hair and beard. Far into the future ruling over a new asgard or maybe even a deserted one. With the eye patch and all. Wihtered and experienced. Battle worn. yet with hemsworths massive but shredded physique. Very similar to jason aarons God of Thunder run. I think itd be the way to go
