Thor Costume – Fancy Being The Classic Viking God Of Thunder
This Thor costume is loosely based on the Viking god that inspired both fear and awe with his mighty hammer (so it’s a Viking costume of sorts). The hammer could smash mountains according the legend so it must have been a pretty powerful hammer or there were some very weak mountains in Norse land.

The Thor Classic Costume
So this item (as pictured) is called the classic costume. For classic I guess you can read old. It is a version of the Thor costume before the new movie came out. Surprisingly, it looks very similar to the new fangled 3D costume. The colors are the same and the general style is very similar. I guess this is because they are both based on Thor from the Marvel comic book.
Both costumes have the red cape that you see in the comic books. They both have the unique type of armor with the metal discs around the collar bone and hips. They also have a black brown color armor for the rest of the outfit.
The classic costume differs slightly from the new one in that there is no 3D detail on the black brown armor. And also the helmet is slightly different. It is a bit more subtle. The ear wings are smaller and the helmet just rests on the head rather than completely covering it.
In terms of what you get with this costume, the main item is like a jumpsuit that you wear. Added to that is the cape. It looks like you can’t detach the cape but I’m not sure about that. And of course you also get a helmet.
Like the other Thor Halloween costumes, you don’t get the iconic hammer. This would have to be purchased separately.
This costume is slightly cheaper than the new costume, even though both are heavily discounted at the moment.
Thor From The Marvel Comics
Thor first appeared as a Marvel comics character in 1962 in a one off edition. The character was well received to such an extent that he got a call up into the Avengers team. He’s been a hammer pounding member of the Avengers ever since.
The Avengers are a team of superheroes that seem to get contracted in and out of the team when needs must. Strangely enough Thor has been an ever present even when more well known superheroes like the Hulk and Ironman have been booted out. He must be doing something right. The aim of the avengers is to fight evil villains that have more power or strength than just one superhero. They’ve been busting the bad guys for close to 50 years now. What’s more a big screen adaption of their story is being made as we speak. I bet it’s made in 3D too.
