    I just got Thor today and it appears that mine doesn't come with a hand that can hold the new hammer, just a right and left closed fist.

    Edit - all good, the hammer holding hand was still in the package

      Did it only come with four extra hands, instead of five? The hands don't show in unopened sets.

        Thanks for posting that. I went through the packaging again and found the missing hand!

          So what would be the best body for Modern Thor? Mego Type 2?

            I would go with the original Mego Type 1 or Type 2 body, I put mine on the Mego type 1

                Thanks! Would the Blake head do okay on a Mego body as well? I don't mind the Type S bodies, but still.

                  You can use the Blake ahead on a Mego or Doc Body. It will work fine.

                    The classic Thor looks good but he stays in the box. Not liking new Thor head so I am replacing with blonde Conan head (5.00 at FTC)

                              I like classic Thor( with box ) and the new Thor suit seems pretty good , but not liking the sculpt on the new head. This is still the best of my 3 sets and has cool stuff
                              for customs. I am waiting to order an FTC blonde Conan head for new Thor but I might use the new Thor head to make another figure like Longshot or Kazar.

                                For those interested in doing this.I swapped the modern Thor Head with the FTC Blonde Conan head...looks much cooler actually.The Helmet is permanently attached as it will not sit on its own
