I love this figure! I have wanted it for a very long time. An alternate head would have been nice though too.

[MightyThorness]

I agree I've been waiting for a long time to. And yes a alternate head would have been nice.

[leokearon]

A calm head would have been nice, still I'll probably pick him up

[GrtWhiteCustoms]

With his mouth gaping open like that he might as well be Banshee

[RyanDaly]

I didn't pre-order this guy but I think I'll pick him up if/when I see him in the wild. If we get a comic USAgent soon, I might pose War Machine, USAgent, and Thunderstrike together as the 90s/Legacy Big Three.

Just like in the Terminatrix Objective

[Lord_Scareglow]

I feel the same way as every one in here, nice figure, and I'm going to pick him up, I've been hoping we'd get Thunderstrike at some point, but I wish he came with a neutral head, I'm not much a fan for that screaming head.

[Psychosomatic]

Wonder how hard it would be to customize the head to not be screaming.

[silverback]

I like this one too but will try to catch one in the wild as they say. I wonder if one of the MCU figure Thor heads will fit on this figure. That screaming head is only good for certain poses.

[Nosferatuman62172]

Fir some reason this figure reminds me of Eric Alllen Kramer who played Thor in one of the Hulk T. V. movies.

[SpiderS]

Overall good looking figure with many new parts and sculpting, but his upper legs look the same size if not shorter than his lower leg, it's very weird looking but at the same time his boots have amazing sculpt and pinless tech that is almost easy to miss out on, so I'm conflicted about this figure.

[Satam]

Headsculpt kinda reminds me of Diamond Dallas Page.

Yes, i wondering if it was missed out in the promo shots..apparently no calm head sculpt..this is luke the retro x-men wolverine..you can add a burger

This one i agree to

[Guest EUPHORICVIKING]

I’m probably the only one but I’m glad they included a yelling head. We always get less than expressive head sculpts which i get give you more of a variety looks. But this is perfect for Action shots and we almost never get something like this. They are after all ACTION figures. This head is perfect for hitting someone or getting hit or flying through the air pissed at the guy he’s about to hit.  

[bashpics99]

Not really interested in this guy, but man, the more I look at fixit the more I like him (inaccuracies notwithstanding). So we’ll see, I guess. But agree with everyone else that a 2nd non-yelling head would’ve been a good inclusion

If you include the Knee pads in his lower leg then yes the proportion are off. If he didn't have the Knee pads your eye wouldn't make the knee cap as part of the lower leg. Also superhero proportions are generally off. Biggest problem we get is the heads are oversized.  when you get it in hand you'll  see what I mean.

Pretty hard. They cheaped out by not including a non screaming head.

I'll second this. Though the legs may be a little off, it's far from the worst problem. I do like the figure and I do like the character so I'll take what we can get. Just glad to have a Thunderstrike and glad that it scales well with other Thor types.

Especially cause this will probably be the last Thunderstrike  we see.  We got a new mold that is well proportion (not perfect, but none of them are (superhero proportions)) This has enough to make him unique and fits in scale  correctly.

I'd actually like to see them make a Kirby Thor at this height even on this mold. 

Say what you will about Hasbro Marvel Legends, but the character selection is incredible. The amount of new Characters they have released and the different versions is untouched.

But if he came with a head that wasn't yelling, even as an extra, this guy just wouldn't be EXTREEEME enough.

I like the idea of having more expressive faces, and good to see they're experimenting. Some hit the mark and some don't. A neutral head here would've offset this one, 'cause even after just seeing it in pictures, he's beginning to look crazed and ridiculous. They should also experiment with articulated pony tails 'cause its way too easy to break this thing off. BossFight manages to get it done, take a cue from them. Still, hope they continue to work in some variation for the faces. Guardian needs a new less grumpy face too!

I don't mind expressive heads as long as there is another opinion. I think Nightcrawler was the way to go with three different heads

Honestly, I'd really like to see them do away with the build a figures. That way we might see more detail, extra hands and extra heads packed in with the figure.

the theory is that without BAFs the character selection would become more limited & fewer 'obscure' characters would get figures, instead more variants of Wolverine, Deadpool, Spidey, Iron Man, etc.   I think the current mix of BAF waves along with retro waves & sets/solo releases works pretty well but i do agree some figures in BAF waves are awfully bare-bones. it would be great if every character came with at least an alternate head or alternate hands (whichever was more appropriate).
