Gentle Giant debuted its Gladiator Thor and Hulk statues from Thor: Ragnarok at San Diego Comic-Con 2017, and now Thor has stepped into the pre-order arena.

From the product page:

Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and Avengers team-member the Hulk! Thor finds himself without his hammer or his powers and a pawn of the Grandmaster and his games. Thor's quest for survival leads him in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying all of Asguard. Straight from his silver-screen appearance in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok feature film, the Thor Collector's Gallery Statue has been digitally sculpted down the minutest detail, and hand-painted by the amazing artisans of Gentle Giant Studios. Thor is decked out in his gladiator arena armor with his helmet, cape and double swords and features a stunning likeness to actor Chris Hemsworth. This 1:8 scale statue of Thor is the 6th in our Marvel Collector's Gallery statue line. You can display this piece on its own or with our upcoming gladiator Hulk Collector's Gallery statue. The statue comes with a hand numbered with certificate of authenticity.

The Gentle Giant statue isn't cheap at $160, but if you have a little more money to spend on some truly superb Thor: Ragnarok collectibles, you might want to check out Hot Toys' Roadworn Thor and Gladiator Hulk figures. Just keep in mind that the Roadworn Thor figure might be a bit spoilery. Continue on to the gallery below for more photos of the Gentle Giant Gladiator Thor statue. [via Toyark]
