Today, with the opening of Captain America: The Winter Soldier in theaters, most Marvel fans have their minds on the First Avenger, but Sideshow Collectibles is bringing our attention back to the Mightiest Avenger with two new preorders of items for Thor!  (would this be a preor-thor?)

First, in Sideshow’s one-quarter scale Premium Format Figure line comes Modern Age Thor.  Based off Olivier Coipel’s designs for the thunder god in J. Michael Straczynski’s 2007-2009 run this figure looks as powerful as the character.  From the pre-release photos Sideshow has outdone themselves with the sculpting of Thor’s metallic mail.  A mixed-media piece, Thor has a fabric tunic with gold piping, but a sculpted cape guaranteed to accentuate the pose of Thor ready to strike!  With the winged helmet atop his head and Mjolnir in his hand, this statue is one of the best Sideshow has revealed to date.

And it certainly has the size and heft of Thor’s hammer.  The statue stands 21 inches tall and weighs 15 pounds!  Surely a centerpiece for any Thor fan!

As usual, Sideshow has also put up for pre-order the exclusive edition of this statue which comes with a swap-out hand allowing Thor to wield the mighty (and giant) Odinsword.  While not as iconic as the stone hammer, fans of Marvel’s Norse gods will surely snatch this up and, as always, drive the exclusive version’s secondary market cost high.

You can order the regular or exclusive Thor Premium Format Statue now at Sideshow Collectibles!

The Thor Frog Diorama is $99, but if you buy the diorama and the Premium Format Thor you save $20, bringing the diorama down to a really cheap $79!

So hurry and order one or both Thor products today from Sideshow Collectibles!  And thank you for supporting our podcasts by using our links whenever ordering from Sideshow!
