THE BIRTHDAY BASH BEGINS!!!
By Odin’s beard, there is a new Thor toy line. Awesome! I mean “By the mead of Loki”!

I can keep going, but I really shouldn’t, lol. (What can I say, I’m a big dork!) So there is a new line of Thor toys coming out, actually, round 2 of the Thor toy line for the newly released movie- by the name of Thor, of course!

The characters who are recreated in five inch form are: Mighty Avenger Battle Hammer Thor, The Mighty Avenger Sword Spike Thor, The Mighty Avenger Secret Strike Loki, Invasion Frost Giant, Harpoon Blade Fandral, Blade Battle Marvel’s Hogun, Ram Smash Volstagg, Fire Blast Marvel’s Destroyer, and Hammer Smash Thor.

We had the pleasure of giving The Mighty Avenger Sword Spike Thor a try. Sword Spike Thor comes with not only Thor’s hammer, of course, but also the sword spike weapon. The sword spike is a huge sword with a blue spike in the middle that you can take out and use as a spike weapon. That’s right a total of three different weapons for Thor to kick the junk out of the Frost Giant. Now on the surface, Thor is just a super hero with a hammer. But if you look a little bit deeper, there is a very rich Norse mythology which is the tip of the iceberg to a Nordic culture in general. Sure, your little guy may like Thor now but this could lead to an interest in foreign cultures and mythology, and reading. Comics and action heros, sure! But you know why I like Thor, right? Because I am a GIANT history geek, and am thrilled with anything that might make my son love it and get interested in it as well.
