The Mighty Mego Thor was among the first heroes to be issued solely on Type II bodies in 1976. He, Conan and the Fantastic Four share the distinction
of never having been sold on the type one body.
Mego Thor greatly benefited from being a later Mego release. The Vac-metallized helmet is attached to a small hole in his head with a post inside the helmet, this often found broken on loose figures. His very cool boots are yellow rubber. His hammer Mjolnir is an often missing accessory.
What’s Mego Thor worth? We’re not a price guide here at the MegoMuseum but we do keep tabs on what things sell for on ebay. It’s a section we call The Going Rate.
Thor is also known to come with a vinyl cape, this was a short run variant for Mego figures. Other known vinyl-caped figures include Shazam and Batman.
Here is a side by side example of the variations in Thor’s armbands.
