The Marvel Legends Maximum Series Thor Action Figure brings one of the most unusual and entertaining characters from Marvel Comics to life in a highly articulated 6-inch-scale collectible. While the name Thor may suggest the legendary Asgardian hero, this figure also connects to the strange and memorable story of Simon Walterson, a man whose life changed forever after he was transformed into a frog.
After the death of his wife, Simon Walterson turned to a witch for help. Instead of finding the solution he wanted, Simon was transformed into a frog. His unusual situation became even stranger when Loki transformed his brother Thor into a frog. The two human-amphibians eventually became allies. Thor was eventually restored to his normal form, but Simon discovered a fragment of Mjolnir. The magical power of the hammer transformed him into Throg, creating a new hero with a very unusual origin.
The Maximum Series is a new addition to the Marvel Legends line. These figures use technological tooling developments that have been created and improved throughout the history of Marvel Legends. The result is a new generation of highly articulated figures designed to provide an extreme range of motion. This allows collectors to recreate dramatic comic book poses, action scenes, and display arrangements with greater freedom.
This Thor figure is designed with details inspired by the character’s appearance in Marvel’s Thor comics. At 6 inches tall, it fits naturally with other Marvel Legends figures and makes a great addition to a comic-inspired display. The figure features multiple points of articulation in the head, arms, and legs, allowing for a wide variety of poses.
The accessory selection adds even more possibilities. The box includes three different head sculpts, two hair parts, and two alternate pairs of hands. These interchangeable pieces make it possible to change the figure’s appearance and create different expressions and poses. Two Mjolnir accessories are included, along with an alternate Mjolnir handle. Two lightning effects can also be added to bring Thor’s power to life in a display.
One of the most interesting extras is the included Throg figure. This small companion figure connects directly to the unusual story of Simon Walterson and gives collectors another character to place alongside Thor. A horn accessory adds another option for customizing the display.
Made from plastic and designed for ages 4 and up, the Marvel Legends Maximum Series Thor Action Figure offers a combination of classic Marvel character design, modern articulation, and a strong selection of accessories. The six-inch scale also makes it easy to display with other Marvel Legends figures, creating opportunities to recreate scenes from across Marvel Comics history.
Whether displayed standing proudly with Mjolnir, posed with lightning effects, or accompanied by the included Throg figure, this release gives collectors plenty of ways to bring the world of Thor comics to their shelves. With its interchangeable parts, extensive articulation, and character-specific accessories, the Maximum Series Thor Action Figure is a fun new entry in the Marvel Legends collection.
