Thor Review... The Good and Bad

[megofreak]

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

I am looking forward to getting my thors ,The classic mego looks fantastic ,the Don Blake -so so ,but the new thor head looks awful ,the outfit looks
ok ,but those painted heads Yuuck!,However ill know for sure when i get my two sets in hand ,more then likely ill build the other two up ,i just hope
the pictures (thanx by the way),i just kinda hope the new thor looks better in hand .Or ill throw that new head in a parts box .

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Unfortunately, there does appear to be "something" with these sets. ( I did not buy Spidey and Cap as a result.) (I think Wolverine was the only one that was OK. Unfortunately, I have no interest in him.) I was truly hoping that any issues would have been resolved by the time Thor was made.


For the sake of this line, and for those who are getting Deadpool, I hope there are no more issues.

No, Wolverine has its' issues too.

Its a shame for the price point that there are constant production issues. At 80 bucks they should be perfect.

I like the Modern Thor (is that even his look anymore though?); one of the better classic to modern updates. I am disappointed in the struggles to turn the parts into a functional kit. There always seems to be something with these sets, unfortunately.

I always thought that Thor was a near perfect Mego for it's time so what happened to modern Thor ? I am still picking one of these up from BBTS because I wan't the
classic Thor but not liking Big head Thor, and Donald Blake

hey lmk if you want to sell me the modern thor stuff cheers

I got my set today and was very pleased with the retro Thor,it doesn't have the hole in the head to fit the helmet in like the original so I used one of those clear rubber bands you get in figure packaging to secure it.i tried putting the modern head on both a doc mego swivel body and a Zico body to no avail,I'm sure I can get it to fit but the molded hair is in the way a dim in no rush to have the modern Thor or don Blake,I bought this for the retro so right now those pieces will go to my fodder box.

So, Modern Thor costume will not fit on Dr Mego swivel arm buff body I have been getting for $5 each for the secret ID and Modern costumes?

That I don't know... I only use type s or original Mego... My modern Thor is on an original Type 1 Mego body and works well with it. Being these were made with Doc and type 2 like bodies in mind I'm thinking they will work
