Sideshow - Movie THOR hammer

[nexnox]

We made the Avengers hammer, but not the Thor ones. I had one of the hero 'Thor Movie' hammers when redesigning the handle and head for Avengers. On the hammer I had, the V was 45 degrees to the face. The reason for this was that the 'Thor Movie' Hammer had threaded rod between the head and the handle. This was so they could change the heads between rubber, lightweight, and Hero. I bet you could find the handle in various rotations through the movie, I haven't payed that much attention myself though.

I assume the sideshow orientation is what was originally intended.

How different, if at all, is the head in Avengers?

Based just on these pics, the strap of the MR hammer looks to be too thin and possibly short

I don't think the head is too different. Maybe sizewise? It seems a little bit bigger than the Thor version to me for some reason.

So I just contacted Museum Replicas yesterday and they gave me some helpful answers about the hammer, check it out!

"Hello Gaspard,
The handle is a piece of solid wood with top quality leather wrapped around it. The hammer head is hollow as this enable it to be 100% accurate in weight to the screen used prop. I'm not positive on the factory dimensions of the thickness but it is a very well made piece that is durable. That being said though, this is intended to be a display piece only."

and...


"But could you still carry it around with no worries?" -Me

"Yes. Its a top quality piece. It won't fall apart on you. But again, it is intended as a display piece so please remember that." -Museum Replicas


Tell us what you guys think!

How durable is it gonna be? And will the Handle be solid wood, like the other hammers made by Diamond select and Factory x? Need answers!!! So I can pre order it!!

The other hammers have steel handles wrapped in leather and the heads are solid aluminum...not hollow and not wood...

 

[Gasparddm]

No its not solid aluminum its a hollow steel head

 

[StevenRogers84]

No its not solid aluminum its a hollow steel head

The Factory x hammer and the diamond select hammer are solid aluminum I meant. And they have steel handles.

What??? I have the Factory X, Diamond Select and Museum Replicas. All three have hollow heads. Have you never taken them apart? They are not solid.

I actually held an early prototype last year at the MR booth during Comic Con. While it is lighter then the past Mjolnirs it still has a good feel and is slightly larger then the earlier versions which I think is great. From the images on Sideshow's page looks like they worked in more detail since last year also with more a defined Celtic pattern along with reworking the shafts leather.

but can you smash a truck with them?

^Only if you're in full costume!

Sideshow's Mjölnir is finally out. Did anybody receive it yet? What is your review on it? Did MR screw it or what??

 

[galmando]

Just got my parcel number so i'll know in a week or so!

I'll post pics for all to see

 

[Icemanjj]

I received mine. Check the other thread on it, but suffice to say I am not enthused about it.

EDIT: Here's the link with pics.

Where the hell is the Museum Replicas Thor hammer???

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

I'm planning on selling mine.
Sigh...

 

[typecase]

I'm really disappointed because I don't think we're going to see a metal head hammer replica in the the future from any vendor. :angry Wish they had gotten this right.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

It's just shameful the way the handle was made on this...

 

[typecase]

It's just shameful the way the handle was made on this...

Absolutely. Even large features were not given proper attention.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

And is it just me, or do the recessed details on the head look too soft?
