Thor: Love And Thunder Collectibles Reveal Looks For Thor, Jane Foster
Of all the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe films, I'm looking forward to "Thor: Love and Thunder" the most. I know we've got "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" coming up, and yes, that sounds great, but it's going to be a darker film from what we've seen. I could use something fun right now, and I'm sure you can as well. And that's where "Love and Thunder" comes in. Directed by Taika Waititi, this film is likely to have the same vibe as his "Thor: Ragnarok," and that one was just ... joyous. Despite Ragnarok being the twilight of the Gods and all, it made me laugh non-stop.
Today we have a little taste of what's coming in "Thor: Love and Thunder" with some new toys featuring Thor and Jane Foster as Mighty Thor from Tamashii Nations' S.H. Figuarts line. Though we don't know much about the plot of the film, one thing we do know is that Natalie Portman's Jane Foster will become Mighty Thor at some point. I couldn't be more excited.
The Mighty Thor
These toys are pretty great. The Mighty Thor figure comes with a second set of hands, Mjolnir (which has been put back together after it was crushed by Cate Blanchett's Hela), a Mjolnir hilt with energy coming out of it, a cape made of actual fabric with wire for posing, lightning effect, and a Jane head. It's made of ABS, PVC and cloth and is about 5.7 inches tall. The Jane head sculpt doesn't look anything like Natalie Portman, despite everything else being super cool. Maybe it has to do with likeness rights or something, but in my humble opinion, there aren't a whole lot of action figures of female superheroes that get the faces right.

The Thor figure on the other hand has a real resemblance to Chris Hemsworth. He comes with Stormbreaker, a lightning effect, a second set of hands, a wired fabric cape, and a second head with glowing eyes. He stands 6.4 inches tall. His suit is very, very bright blue

Here they are together, fighting the forces of evil, or at least Gorr the God Butcher, played by Christian Bale.
