Rarity
Uncommon. This specific version was exclusive to a single set released during the 'Thor: Ragnarok' movie tie-in wave, though other Thor variants are common.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head with reddish-brown eyebrows and a beard. One side features a determined look, the other shows 'lightning' blue glowing eyes. Topped with a Pearl Gold Sakaarian-style helmet with Flat Silver horns.
Torso
Dark Brown/Dark Gray torso with armor plating print, featuring six silver circular discs (medallions) on the front. Has dark brown arms and black hands. Back print includes leather strap detailing under the cape.
Legs
Dark Brown legs with black boots printing and metallic silver armor highlights on the knees/shins.
Accessories
Red spongey-fabric cape, Flat Silver Mjolnir (hammer) with a white handle, and a Pearl Gold helmet. Note: The hammer in the image appears to be a customized construction or variation.
Color Scheme
Dark Brown, Black, Pearl Gold, and Red. Specifically mimics the gladiator-style aesthetic from the Sakaar arena scenes in the film.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on head, torso (front/back), and legs (front). Detail level is high, specifically capturing the 'weathered' look of the gladiator armor.
Variants
The primary variant of this 'Ragnarok' Thor is sh408 (without the cape/armor printing difference). Other variants include 'Infinity War' Thor (sh508) and the original 'Avengers' Thor (sh018).
Condition Notes
Common wear points include fraying on the edges of the soft fabric cape and scuffing on the pearl gold helmet finish. The hammer's white handle is prone to tooth marks from children.
Estimated Value
Current market value is approximately $10-$15 USD used, and $18-$22 USD in new condition. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of MCU characters.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 76088 which retailed for $59.99 USD. This figure represents roughly 20-25% of the set's secondary market value.
Compatible Sets
Set 76088: Thor vs. Hulk: Arena Clash (2017).
Character Background
Based on Thor Odinson as he appeared in the 2017 film 'Thor: Ragnarok'. After losing Mjolnir and being stranded on Sakaar, Thor is forced into nomadic gladiator combat by the Grandmaster.
Design Notes
This version is significant for being the first to deviate from the traditional 'long hair' and blue/silver color scheme of earlier MCU Thor figures. The helmet mold is specific to the Ragnarok wave.
Similar Minifigures
sh408 (Thor - Ragnarok, no cape), sh018 (Thor - Beard), sh508 (Thor - Infinity War), and the Series 22 'Troubadour' or 'Viking' for aesthetic comparisons.
Collectibility
High. Anything related to the MCU 'Big Three' (Thor, Iron Man, Captain America) maintains strong secondary market demand, especially unique film-accurate variations.
History
Launched as part of the third Thor film wave. It marked a historical design shift for the character, transitioning him into shorter hair and more diverse armor types.
Interesting Facts
The helmet used by this minifigure is a single-piece specialized mold that hasn't seen much reuse outside of the character, making it a valuable spare part for MOC builders.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the 'Gladiator Hulk' (sh410) in a colosseum-style vignette or on a Marvel-themed tiered stand.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The torso and legs are often used by fans to build custom Vikings or fantasy warriors. The hammer in the photo appears to be a custom MOC using a 2x2 modified brick.
Overall Assessment
A standout minifigure from the 2017 Marvel line. The combination of unique gold armor and the dual-sided 'lightning eye' face makes it a must-have for Marvel completionsists.
