Marvel Premium Format Figure
Product Description
The Premium Format Thor figure presents the heroic God of Thunder
standing tall with Mjolnir to the sky. The figure is sculpted to
Sideshow's museum-quality standard, down to the billowing cape and
detailed musculature, and completed with real fabric costuming. Each
piece is hand-cast of high-quality polystone, hand finished and
individually numbered.
Inspired by the Norse God of Thunder, Thor made his first appearance
in "Journey Into Mystery" #83 in 1962. The cover boldly proclaimed
him as "The most exciting superhero of all time!!" With the success
of the initial short story feature, the book was aptly renamed "The
Mighty Thor." In the early stories, Thor possessed dual identities,
the God of Thunder and the mortal Donald Blake. When Dr. Don Blake
tapped his wooden cane to the ground, he would transform into The
Mighty Thor, and the cane would become his legendary hammer, Mjolnir.
It was later revealed that Thor's father Odin, the Lord of the Gods,
had placed him in the mortal form of Donald Blake as a lesson in
humility. After Thor learned his lesson, Odin freed him of the alter
ego. While his adventures take him back to the immortal realm of Asgard
and beyond, Thor maintains an affinity for Earth, as his mother Gaea
is the eldest goddess of Midgard (Earth). Armed with his godlike powers
and mystical hammer, Thor serves as both Asgard's mightiest son and
Earth's ever-vigilant protector.
