Preview Square Enix Play Arts Kai Marvel Variant 1/7 scale Asgardian god of thunder Thor

Square Enix has now extended their Play Arts Kai Variant line to a third Marvel comic character (previous previews were of Iron Man - pictures HERE, and Spider-Man - posted earlier on my toy blog HERE) and that is Thor, the Asgardian god of thunder based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name. The company has officially unveiled its new take on Thor, and seldom has Marvel’s god of thunder looked so pumped, so angry and so heavy metal-like.

It's a rather interesting take for the character and closer to the comic book version than Iron Man was. Square Enix has given their Play Arts Kai Marvel Variant 1/7 scale Asgardian god of thunder Thor bulging veins, armor, and a hammer that’s half Thor’s height, in other words, HUGE. The swinging Mjolnir attachment and lightning effect are nice touches.

Square Enix is continuing with the Marvel line the same way they have gone with DC Variants and they are certainly giving us more options in terms of which action figure to get. Targeted for release in September 2015 for about USD$122, the figure also comes with three pairs of interchangeable hands, a plastic cape, swappable face and a display stand.
