Fight Hulks and Fix the Plumbing With This Brilliant Thor Mjolnir Hammer Toolbox

Up until Ragnorak, when it was destroyed by Hela, Thor’s Mjolnir was the perfect all-in-one-tool for everything from battling alien invaders, to flying, to even proving who in the world was truly worthy. But with this clever Mjolnir toolbox, the mighty hammer is now equally useful for small home repairs too. The $100 toolbox looks…

Mjolnir’s Weird ‘New’ Comic Book Power in Thor Isn’t Actually New at All

In this week’s issue of The Mighty Thor, Thor’s trusty hammer gets to do something totally strange, and unlike anything we’ve seen it do in a long time. But while people are freaking out about this strange “new power,” it’s not really new. It’s more of a mix of some weird and wonderful things the…

Test Your Strength Against Marvel Villains Using Thor’s Mighty Hammer

If the comic books and movies are any indication, the fact that anyone besides Thor can lift his mighty Mjölnir hammer is reason enough to feel pretty great about yourself. But if that just isn’t enough of an ego boost, Hasbro’s Power Hammer game will let you test your strength against some of the worst…

Diamond Select’s New Thor Figure Comes With The Coolest Mjolnir Ever

Chalk this one up to ‘how on earth have they not done this before’, but seriously: How has this not been done before? Look at that giant, spinning Mjolnir! That’s great. There have been Thor toys that throw the legendary Mjolnir around before, yet somehow there’s never been a version of it with a Thor…

Whosoever Holds This Mug, If He Be Worthy, Shall Possess A Warm Drink

There’s a lot of weird knick-knacks out there that the moment you see them, you think ‘How has someone not done that before!?’. I’m not entirely sure a mug in the shape of Thor’s legendary hammer Mjolnir is one of those things. No worthiness is necessarily required to lift this mug so Asgardian saints and…

Oh My God someone made a plush “Mew-Mew” version of Thor’s Hammer

One of the very best things about Kat Dennings’ character (Darcy Lewis) in the Thor movies is how she pronounces Mjölnir. Instead of calling it by it’s traditional Norse name she prefers to call it Mew-Mew. And some genius has created a “Mew-Mew Mjölnir.” Thanks to TwinsGeekShop we can now purchase a Mew-Mew-Mjolnir, but I’ll…

An awesome guy made an insane Thor hammer that smashes everything

This ridiculously awesome man made version of Thor’s hammer Mjölnir is so impressive that even our most Thor-like human Chris Hemsworth would have trouble swinging it around. Though it’s not quite the weight of 300 billion elephants, it’s the closest thing to Mjölnir on Earth. That’s because it’s made from 10 separate pieces of steel…

Find Your Fortune With Thor’s Metal-Detecting Mjölnir Hammer

There’s apparently one aspect of Thor’s uber-powerful Mjölnir hammer that wasn’t touched on in the Thor movie or The Avengers: It works as some kind of ancient intergalactic metal detector. That’s right. When he’s not battling giant robots or his brother Loki, Thor can apparently be found wandering the beach, dragging his hammer through the…

Get Hammered Like the Gods

When is it okay for the toy version of an icon to not be 100% faithful to the original? When you add a friggin missile. That’s right: Thor himself would be jealous of Hasbro’s projectile-enabled take on his mighty hammer. The 1.4lb Mjolnir also comes with the requisite flashing lights and thunder noises, sure. But…
