Year Released
2017: Released alongside the theatrical debut of the Marvel Studios film 'Thor: Ragnarok'. Developed during a time when LEGO moved toward more movie-accurate printed details and flesh-toned heads for licensed properties.
Rarity
Uncommon: Exclusive to two sets from the Ragnarok wave (76084 and 76088). While not ultra-rare, it is a specific version of Thor that remained exclusive to that year's production cycle.
Head
Flesh-toned head with a short brown beard and determined expression. Features dual-sided printing with a 'powered speed' or light blue glow in the eyes on the reverse side. Dark brown hair piece with a textured, messy cut.
Torso
Black torso with detailed silver armor plating, scabbard strap, and quiver printing on the back. Includes flesh-toned arms (representing sleeveless look) and black hands. Detailed muscle definition and armor highlights.
Legs
Dark bluish gray legs with black hip piece. Printing includes knee pads and boot details consistent with the gladiator-style combat gear worn in the film.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally came with two silver swords (scimitars) and a red fabric cape (the 'Sokovian' look). The figure in the photo is missing its cape and weapons.
Color Scheme
Dominant colors are black, silver, and dark gray with flesh accents. This departure from the traditional red/blue/chrome classic Thor reflects the rugged 'Gladiator' aesthetic of the Sakaar storyline.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of 2017 Marvel sets. Includes back torso printing and detailed leg segments. Alignment is generally precise, emphasizing the plate-mail patterns.
Variants
Variants include SH018 (Classic), SH624 (Fat Thor), and SH813 (Love and Thunder). This specific sh409 version is unique for its gladiator torso and specific Ragnarok facial hair pattern.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include hair scuffing and arm joint tension. This specific figure in the image shows some dust and light surface wear. Check for 'cape fraying' on the neck if the cape is sourced separately.
Estimated Value
Used (Complete): $10–$15 USD. Used (Incomplete as shown): $6–$8 USD. Prices vary based on whether the original dual swords and cape are present.
Price (New)
Retail context: Set 76084 'The Ultimate Battle for Asgard' was $49.99; Set 76088 'Thor vs. Hulk: Arena Clash' was $59.99.
Compatible Sets
76084 The Ultimate Battle for Asgard (2017) and 76088 Thor vs. Hulk: Arena Clash (2017).
Character Background
Based on Chris Hemsworth’s portrayal in Thor: Ragnarok, depicting the character after his hair is cut by Stan Lee's cameo character and he is forced to fight in the Grandmaster's arena.
Design Notes
A significant design shift from the 'Cape and Hammer' Thor. This version marked the first time Thor was prominently featured with short hair in LEGO form, using the 'Caleb' hair piece in dark brown.
Similar Minifigures
Other Ragnarok figures like sh408 (Hulk), sh410 (Hela), and sh412 (Valkyrie). Also similar to the Infinity War Thor (sh508).
Collectibility
Moderate to High. As 'Thor: Ragnarok' is a fan-favorite MCU film, versions of characters from this specific movie retain value better than standard comic counterparts.
History
Represents the middle-era of MCU LEGO design where printing moved from simple comic interpretations to complex film-replica textures.
Interesting Facts
The 'glowing eye' alternate face is a reference to the 'Immigrant Song' bridge battle where Thor unlocks his full lightning potential without Mjolnir.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the gladiator Hulk (sh408) or in a Sakaar-themed arena MOC. Use a transparent blue power burst element to highlight the lightning-eye face printing.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom 'Endgame' or 'Infinity War' figures. The torso and legs are versatile for any dark-armored warrior or mercenary custom.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10 figure for MCU collectors. It captures a specific, iconic moment in the character's cinematic history. The lack of accessories in the photo decreases its immediate value, but the core parts are in good condition.
