Thor: Ragnarok received a rather epic trailer at San Diego Comic-Con, but a new toy might have dropped an even bigger hint at things to come.

Possible spoilers to come, so you’ve been warned.
The toy in question is the latest Thor: Ragnarok figure from Hot Toys. The figure features a number of accessories as is customary for a Hot Toys release, including the magnetic skull of Surtur.
Surtur is a massive fiery demon that appears towards the end of the trailer, and given that the other accessories are accurate, including Thor’s splintered Mjolnir, it stands to reason that he will kill the demon and use his skull as a trophy of sorts.
The only thing is the scale doesn’t exactly match up. Surtur makes the Hulk look small, so to go from that to backpack size (at least when it comes to his head) is odd. Who knows, maybe Surtur requires that via his contract.
Either way, it seems he will be taken down by Team Thor in route to retaking Asgard and stopping the Ragnarok prophecy from coming to bear. You can see the image in question below and you can pre-order Thor here.
