The second oversized foam replica from NECA is Thor’s Hammer, also known as Mjolnir. Even Thor himself may have trouble lifting this 4′ tall replica of the hammer! We have a few official photos of the gigantic foam Marvel Comics hammer replica.
Add extra fun to your day with NECA’s new line of super-oversized, foam versions of classic comic book items, from signature weapons to accessories and other iconic objects! Each has detailed paint deco to look just like the real thing, but is perfectly safe. Decorate your room or retail space, add a whimsical touch to your favorite costume, or take it out on the town for great photo opps.
From Marvel Comics, only the worthy can lift the Mighty Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir. Our oversized version measures a massive 4 feet tall and can easily be lifted!
Ships in one box.
Look for this to be released in July. See a couple of photos after the jump.
Mjolnir - Thor's Hammer Oversized Foam Replica by NECA
Is this simply for novelty sake, like those oversized foam fingers? I personally don't get stuff like this, but to each their own.
I don't understand.
i always assume that NECA life-size and now over-size stuff is mainly for comic shops and retailers to spruce up their locations.
But... why?!?
For those who want to compensate for something?
I mean seriously, who would want a 4-foot version of Thor's hammer? That's just weird, NECA.
They're probably going for the larger scale in an attempt to squeeze profit. That would be my guess. They don't expect to make as much selling a smaller version. There might be other reasons: 1:1 scale, the handle would probably be too flimsy. They'd have to make it separately out of molded plastic and then attach it to the foam block, e.g,. by threading the end. And the handle would have to be textured and detailed and dry-brushed to avoid looking rinky-dink cheap. All of these things add cost.
...But think of the difference in DEMAND! For a display prop that I can use to whack my friends over the head, I would consider a half decent reasonably-priced 1:1 version a MUST HAVE.
How much would it hurt to get hit by that?
Definitely an item that would make for a great display piece in a comic book store.
I feel like a Doomhammer in this scale/style would actually be pretty appropriate.
I'd almost get this if I had the space for the shear hilarity and ridiculousness.
