I think Thor is fine at his size. Is he really, really big? Oh yeah. But thus far, that seems to be the angle Hasbro wants to take with Asgardian/Asgardian-powered individuals - making them larger-than-life to match their godlike/demigodlike status. If be totally okay with seeing other characters, like Hercules and Juggernaut in that scale.

If people want a redo of those characters, that's fine. Personally, I don't see the need. The whole reason I even bought that Thor was because he was a massive hunk of toy.
Both Iman and Grace Jones are very tall for models and they stand at 5'9". Any taller and we're talking about WNBA status...Storm has never been portrayed as being that tall. I won't hazard to guess what their (Iman & Grace) weights are, but I'm sure it was far less than 130lbs. I only bring up 'models' because in my experience with X-books they often alluded to Storm having the look and grace of a model (FYI that's not my ideal for her, but what was suggested in stories). However that wasn't my point, my point was that the 'official' heights of female heroes aren't as uniform as you implied...more quick stats:Sabra 5'11" - 240, Sersi 5'9" - 140lbs, Sif: 6'2 - 425lbs...

And yeah, I know you are fine with redos. I was messing with you considering that it was just a few weeks ago that you were advocating for them (X-wave?), while others were saying they didn't see the need...if that wasn't you, forgive my 'playful' ribbing. If it was you, I'm fun'in ya', man!

Either way, whichever Thor you like is fine...
