Thor has always been my favorite character since I was a kid. I will end up replacing my Dark World (heavy armor)version with this.
However I’m having a hard time with so much gold in the figure so I will probably just get the standard version. Also, I still find the helmet to be a bit gaudy and it looks like those lightning details are permanently affixed to the eye area of the helmeted sculpt. If I can’t take those off I don’t think I want him to have that helmet on bk IMO those type of effects look awesome when you turn the lights in the figures on, but when their lights are off those effects don’t look that great.
It is possible that the whole gold thing and the helmet will grow on me after I see the movie but as of now I like the standard version with the bare arms better. Also for some reason the bare arms look bigger (more muscular) than the Golden armored arms, I’m not sure if that is just my eyes playing tricks.
Finally I do wish they would have made him taller than 32cm. I know that scales properly to about 6ft4 but bk they have made Iron Man too tall it feels weird for me to see Thor figures shorter than or the same size as Iron Man. I realize that may be too much of a nit-pick but stuff like that does irritate me a bit …even if it is irrational
