Got mine today too, and it's absolutely fantastic. Face prints are clearer than Hasbro's with none of the gloss their figures usually come with. Can't wait for the rest of the wave to drop, and I hope we hear about wave two sometime this fall.
Got mine as well.
Beautiful figure! The hair is WILD, just like in the game. The figure design team was really inspired when they thought up the implementation of the hair articulation.
I will say - glad I'm not a MIB collector - mine arrived in an ENVELOPE and was somewhat battered. Heads up for those who might be MIB collectors.
A God of War Thor would be amazing! I really like his design in that game plus I would like a version of the character in my collection that isn't the Marvel one.

This will be my second purchase of this line after Kratos.
I don’t think they did a great job integrating the articulation into Ellie. Though both of these figures give me a rough idea of how their take on Nathan Drake will turn out.
I don't think they did a good job integrating the articulation into either of them. Ellie is worse, though.
The articulation doesn't look great - certainly far worse on Ellie. But I want that set very badly, regardless.
Varl shipped out. Hopefully the rest of the wave isn’t too far behind!
Some folks are getting Kratos shipping notifications from Amazon already. I haven’t yet though 😪 but still says Tuesday.
Got Kratos today. Really fun figure, just wish he got the Aloy treatment as well. Could have had the spear, blades of chaos, and a couple more heads.
Bummer about the lack of mimir too.
Playability is great, though. Torso ball joint has a wide range of movement. All the joints are easy to move, which is what I liked about Aloy as well.
I watched another video review of Kratos to convince myself to buy him. He looks like a lot of fun in hand, but I still can't get over the single-jointed elbows.
I feel like Kratos didn't get the mega-accessory treatment that Aloy did is because Spinmaster doesn't necessarily feel like Aloy can carry multiple releases, but CAN carry one deluxe release, whereas they feel like Kratos can support multiple releases. I could definitely be wrong here. But I expect to see several different versions of Kratos with different accessory load-outs to get collectors to keep coming back to the well (haha, the well... of Mimir... right?).
Maybe a heavily armored Ragnarok Kratos with the spear and a yelling head, or even a young pre-new games Kratos with a snearing head and the Chaos Blades? Guess we'll see.
I'm hoping we get to see more versions of Jin with some of his other armour and sword options. Absolutely bizarre, by the way, that they decided to go with his 'Ghost' armor first, which is his assassination-focused stuff, but NOT give him a removable tanto - which is his primary assassination weapon. And no bow-and-arrows either. Very weird.
Could be the same as Kratos where we can expect multiple releases with different accessories. But of all the looks you can do for Jin, THIS is kind of the one where you'd give him all the assassination-themed accessories, so not making him a deluxe figure with more stuff seems like a bad call.
@tsi the elbows aren't too bad. I don't find myself needing too much more range
Amazon didn’t lie! He just got here a bit ago. No real complaints. A little light on accessories, but he’s got well engineered articulation, nice paint and plastic, and looks good with the import figures I’ll be posing him with.
Kratos is fun! And his neck gets SO much more range than the new Venom Hasbro put out.
