Rarity
Uncommon. This version was exclusive to a single set released during the wave for the Thor: Ragnarok film, making it harder to find than standard Avengers variants.
Head
Light Nougat with dual-sided printing: one side features a determined expression with brown beard and eyebrows, the other shows glowing blue eyes representing his lightning powers. It is topped with a Pearl Gold helmet with distinct silver horns.
Torso
Dark Blueish Gray torso with intricate black and light gray armor plating design. Features six circular scale-like patterns on the chest and a printed red belt. Arms are Dark Blueish Gray with black hands.
Legs
Black hips and legs with elaborate red and dark gray quilted pattern printing on the front. This specific leg print is unique to the Ragnarok version of the character.
Accessories
Includes a spongey Dark Red fabric cape and a Light Blueish Gray Mjolnir (hammer). Note: In the film context of this specific outfit, he often used swords, but the set includes Mjolnir.
Color Scheme
A darker, more muted palette than earlier comic versions, featuring Dark Blueish Gray, Black, Dark Red, and Pearl Gold accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and the front of the legs. The metallic silver on the helmet and the glowing blue eye variant are particularly well-executed.
Variants
Standard Thor (sh018), Ultimate Thor (sh038), and various later 'Infinitely War' or 'Love and Thunder' versions. This specific variant (sh409) is the only one with this quilted leg print and helmet combo.
Condition Notes
Check for fraying on the dark red fabric cape and scratches on the pearl gold helmet. The silver printing on the horn tips is prone to rubbing off over time.

Character Background
Based on Thor's appearance in 'Thor: Ragnarok' during the gladiatorial combat on Sakaar. This depicts him before his hair is cut, but wearing his updated battle armor.
Design Notes
The helmet is a specialized mold with two small holes to facilitate the attachment of the silver horns, a clever use of existing 'mechanical arm' pieces in silver.
Similar Minifigures
sh407 (Thor with short hair), sh408 (Loki - Ragnarok), and sh410 (Hulk - Gladiatorial Armor).
Collectibility
High. Ragnarok is widely considered one of the best MCU films, making character variants from this specific movie highly desirable for Marvel completionists.
History
Follows the evolution of Thor from the bright comic colors of 2012 to the more rugged, cinematic armored looks of the late 2010s.
Interesting Facts
Despite having Mjolnir in this set, the hammer is actually destroyed early in the film this figure is based on, making this a 'pre-destruction' or 'concept' version of his arena gear.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the Gladiator Hulk (sh410) or on a tan/sand colored baseplate to simulate the Arena of Sakaar.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are frequently swapped with the short-haired variant (sh407) by fans to better reflect his look for the second half of the movie.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, highly detailed minifigure that captures a specific moment in the MCU. Recommended for collectors due to the unique leg printing and iconic helmet design.
