Black Winter, the devourer of universes, materializes as a dark version of Thor in order to threaten the God of Thunder.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Hey, we asked how Hasbro would reuse those \"Thortnite<\/a>\" molds, and here's the answer! The Black Winter doesn't really have a physical form, being more of a cosmic concept, but it does have the ability to show you how you will die. This form, Spooky Evil Thor, is the death he showed Galactus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not every part of this figure is the same as the one from Series 8. The head is the same, but a new hair sculpt has been glued into it, showing Thor's now-black locks billowing around behind him, just as in the panel where this form first appeared. Additionally, the cape is a tattered thing, molded from translucent black plastic. In the comic it was depicted more like it was fading into smoke, but this is as close as a physical toy could get. Still looks very creepy and appropriate.<\/p>\n

Dark Thor still has a Mjolnir, but instead of being swathed in lightning like the last toy's, this one gets a large cloud of smoke pouring off its head. Nifty! The figure also includes the same hands as before, fists or open\/holding, though they're painted a faded blue, matching the rest of this imaginary Thor's dark colorscheme.<\/p>\n

The ML8<\/i> Thor had the head of the Controller<\/a> Build-A-Figure, and Dark Winter Thor has the head of Zabu<\/a>. It's hard to make room in the package for BAF parts when the figure itself is so large.<\/p>\n
