Infinity War Thor: The Complete Package (S.H. Figuarts) Custom Action Figure
Custom #: | 100561 | Name: | Infinity War Thor: The Complete Package | Custom Type: | Action Figure | Toy Series: | S.H. Figuarts | Creator: | King Ranger  | Date Added: | April 16, 2019 | Base Figure: | IW Thor | Height: | 6.00 inches | Critiques: | Requested! |
Created using 2 SHF IW Thor, one SHF Stone Cold Steve Austin, 2 neodymium magnets (one ~1mm wide, one ~3mm wide), styrene sheet (scrap), .5mm diameter black colored wire, Mr Color, Vallejo, and Tamiya paints. The chest featuring armorless arms and no cape was created by, first, removing the cape and armored arms at the ball joint (ball joint left in socket), then, transplanting the arms from the SHF Steve Austin onto the remaining ball joints, and, finally, marrying the gauntlets from the original IW Thor arms to the Steve Austin forearms as seamlessly as possible using an x-acto hobby knife, dremel with various bits, and super glue. The alternative chest has .5mm black wire that has been installed into the cape end and along the side but is otherwise stock. The head has been modified with an installed 3mm neodymium magnet. Also, the right eye and scar have been repainted to be more movie accurate. The eyepatch was made from a piece of scrap styrene that was shaped using a heat gun and the rounded end of a paint brush, trimmed to fit around the socket, installed with the 1mm magnet, and painted accordingly. Stormbreaker was also given a little paint treatment adding a black wash to valleys, and a mahogany brown drybrushing to the peaks. The purpose is to have a figure that can represent the character seen at both the beginning and end of the film without too much hassle.  Please wait... |
Pictures
In the beginning...
Thor's look at the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War. No armor on his arms and no cape, but sporting a classy-looking eyepatch.
At the end.
Thor's look at the end of the film. Freshly armored arms, flowing two tone cape, and a beautifully crafted hammer... axe... thing
There's something on my eye.

Thank you, sweet rabbit.
