Figure ID
sh814
Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2022. Debuted as part of the 'Thor: Love and Thunder' film tie-in wave, reflecting the shift toward highly detailed MCU-accurate printing.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited edition, it was restricted to two specific sets from a single film wave, making it harder to find than generic Thor variants.
Head
Double-sided printing with flesh tone. Side one: Smirking expression with blonde beard and eyebrows. Side two: Angry combat expression with glowing 'lightning' eyes. Includes Dark Tan long hair piece with braid detail.
Torso
Dark Blue with intricate gold and silver armor plating patterns. Light Flesh arms (sleeveless appearance) and hands. Back features continued armor printing.
Legs
Dark Blue with printed armor details on the front and hips. Features gold accents and knee plating patterns consistent with his 'Love and Thunder' design.
Accessories
Red fabric cape and the Mjolnir hammer (Light Bluish Gray with a top-stud). Note: Cape is the newer, softer fabric style.
Color Scheme
A striking palette of Dark Blue, Gold, and Silver, accented by a bright Red cape and Light Flesh skin tones.
Printing Details
High-density pad printing with excellent registration. The torso and legs feature overlapping metallic ink to simulate layered Norse-inspired space armor.
Variants
This specific blue-armor variant (sh814) is distinct from the Ravager Thor (sh813) and the traditional black-armored Endgame/Infinity War versions.
Condition Notes
The soft fabric cape is prone to fraying at the edges. Check the 'lightning eye' print on the reverse of the head for scratches. Light Flesh hands may show 'bite marks' if used roughly.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8. New/Mint: $10 - $12. Prices are currently stable due to the availability of the source sets on the aftermarket.
Price (New)
Originally available in sets ranging from $19.99 (76207) to $49.99 (76208).
Compatible Sets
76208 The Goat Boat, 76207 Attack on New Asgard.
Character Background
Based on Chris Hemsworth's portrayal of Thor Odinson in the MCU film 'Thor: Love and Thunder'. This represents his 'Gilded' armor look from the film's climax.
Design Notes
The design leaves behind the darker, gritty tones of 'Endgame' for a vibrant, comic-book-inspired aesthetic, utilizing the sleeveless arm look to highlight the character's physique.
Similar Minifigures
sh409 Thor (Thor: Ragnarok), sh813 Ravager Thor, and various Jane Foster 'Mighty Thor' figures.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a specific character look for MCU completists, but faces competition from the high volume of Thor variants produced by LEGO.
History
Follows the decade-long evolution of LEGO Thor figures, starting from the 2012 circular-beard versions to the highly detailed, film-realistic versions of today.
Interesting Facts
This version of the armor was controversial among fans for its bright colors, but the LEGO figure is praised for capturing the gold-trim detail better than many action figures.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Jane Foster (Mighty Thor) or Gorr the God Butcher. Best viewed under warm lighting to make the metallic gold printing pop.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The sleeveless arms are often swapped by fans for armored arms (from other Thor figs) to create a 'Classic Comic' custom Thor.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10 figure for its vibrant printing and movie accuracy. It stands out in a collection due to the departure from the standard black/gray Thor color scheme.
