Bruce Lee as Spider-Man; it seems like a natural combination. Designer Alex Tuis has chosen a handful of acting legends to portray Marvel superheroes, and he’s chosen wisely. It’s just a fun side project for an artist who contributes concept art to films, but it’s obvious a lot of time was put into this art.

Who among us can wield this giant Thor hammer? One warrior accepts that challenge and is banished from the movie theater realm forever.

Once again I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on movie tickets. It’s not enough that the price of a regular admission with soda and popcorn is roughly equal to my mortgage. Now, all the biggest movies are being released in IMAX 3D which adds the cost of a car payment to the experience. I end up walking into the theater knowing I may be living in a cardboard box soon and hoping that it will be worth it in the end. This was my mindset when I went to see Thor on Friday night. I really, really wanted to love this movie. I wanted to cheer out loud, knocking over my popcorn as I threw my hands in the air and screamed “For Asgard!” with the rest of the theater. The Mighty Thor had to meet some mighty high expectations.
Marvel’s Thor is hitting theaters everywhere tomorrow, and to celebrate Nerd Approved is giving away a box that is filled to the brim with new toys from Hasbro.
Seriously, I was tempted to just put on the Thor helmet and grab the electronic Lightning Hammer from this box and play with the action figures until my wife divorced me (which probably wouldn’t have taken long) but, instead, I am passing the joy onto you, our beloved readers.
As I mentioned you’ll get a Thor mask and the electronic Lightning Hammer, but you’ll also get three action figures: Sword Spike Thor, Lightning Clash Thor and the Invasion Frost Giant inside a fancy Thor box.
We touched on new Gentle Giant releases yesterday with the Shae Visla Mini Bust, however, it turns out that there is plenty more where that came from. Check out the full breakdown of new Star Wars and Marvel figures after the break.
Hot Toys unveiled their Thor figure back in January, but now they are giving his father Odin the same highly detailed treatment with a 1/6th scale figure. Check out additional images after the break.
