BERSERKER PREDATOR BY HOT TOYS

The Berserker Predator along with his team is a new type of predator. Unlike the original Predator from the first movie, the Berserker is bigger, stronger and much more ruthless. Even his skin color is different. Common to them are their weapons like the plasma cannon mounted on the shoulder, blades and their camouflage.

Here is Berserker Predator in 1/6th scale from Hot Toys

Predator uses a unique laser targeting system to accurately aim his cannon. Hot toys used LED to light up his helmets targeting system. Clever feature.

Marvel Select' Modern Thor. He came with a base and Mjolnir.

Closer look at his face. Good paint application and well detailed for its size (6inch).

Marvel Select VS Marvel legends.

Both toy lines are good and have their own advantages. Marvel Legends has more articulation but Marvel Select has better detail in my opinion.

MARVEL LEGENDS THOR

"Thor is a fictional superhero who appears in publications published by Marvel Comics. The character first appears in Journey into Mystery #83 (Aug. 1962) and was created by editor-plotter Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and penciller Jack Kirby.

Thor's father Odin decides his son needs to be taught humility and consequently places Thor (without memories of godhood) into the body and memories of an existing, partially disabled human medical student, Donald Blake. After becoming a doctor and on holiday in Norway, Blake witnesses the arrival of an alien scouting party. Blake flees into a cave after they hear him and begin pursuing him, and after discovering Thor's disguised hammer Mjolnir, and striking it against a rock, transforms into the thunder god."
