I must admit that I never read Thor comics when \"\"<\/a>I was a kid. Hell, even as an adult I never read Thor comics. My first real exposure to The God of Thunder was the cheesy Marvel Cartoon from the 1960\u2019s (I can still hear the theme song in my head). I don\u2019t remember the Destroyer being in the cartoon but I do remember it in the 2011 movie.
\nThe Destroyer is Asgardian armor that has been forged by Odin. In the movie, Loki sends the armor to kill Thor while is on Earth and powerless. The Destroyer has the ability to shoot powerful beams of energy from his face-plate. These devastating blasts leveled many of the buildings in the small town where Thor was staying. It wasn\u2019t until Thor regained his power that he was able to defeat the magical armor.<\/p>\n

I like the character (or weapon I can\u2019t decide) of the Destroyer. His job was probably one of the most important on Asgard he had to guard Odin\u2019s treasure room. The imposing Destroyer is a pretty bad-ass weapon. Almost indestructible. The Destroyer is so powerful it took a God to defeat him.<\/p>\n

Fans of Thor will love the fact that Diamond Select Toys has produced a Destroyer figure that is just as imposing as the real thing. This figure stands approximately 9 inches tall and is one of the heaviest Marvel Select figures I have ever reviewed (I don\u2019t have a Hulk). This figure has approximately 17 points of articulation. The points of poseability are:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Head (ball joint)
\n\u2022 Shoulders
\n\u2022 Biceps
\n\u2022 Elbows
\n\u2022 Wrists
\n\u2022 Hips
\n\u2022 Thighs
\n\u2022 Knees
\n\u2022 Ankles
\n\u2022 Waist
\n\u2022 Chest<\/p>\n
