With every mega franchise on the planet, there are merchandising opportunities. Everyone loves a good Star Wars action figure but it's Marvel Films that get our inner child going. We grew up on Marvel Comics and now we get to relive our youth through Marvel Films. The characters we grew up on are now on the BIG screen and their stories are being told again.

Marvel Films have our hearts and Thor: Ragnarok heads into UK Cinemas and IMAX next week and we can not wait... no really, first day tickets... I've even put in a meeting in the office calendar so I can go first thing. Work will never find out right?

So what's on offer merchandise wise for THOR: RAGNAROK'S release? Well pretty much everything a geek could wish for... but I suppose there's age appropriate stuff too for kids and grown ups? Who cares about them though right? This stuff is for the geek who has boxes of merchandise everywhere!

Thor: Ragnarok Thor vs Hulk Arena Clash by LEGO

Okay so this will set you back about 50, LEGO is expensive but it's SOOOOOOOOOOO worth it. The time to build your masterpiece and then the final product. It's like a job in the box except you don't get paid for the labour, you actually pay for the privilege to build! Remember that awesome scene in the trailer? The Hulk reveal? Now you can play it out one of two ways but the first way is always.... HULK SMASH!

Thor: Ragnarok Hulk Smash FX Fists by Hasbro

Ever wanted to pound the crap out of something like HULK? Then yeah... Hasbro have you covered. Not that we'd ever recommend going postal like HULK. You have sane thought on your side... only pound the crap out of stuff when affected by Gamma Radiation.

It's even got Hulk sound effects...

Thor: Ragnarok Rumble Strike Hammer by Hasbro

I guess we all have choice and as an alternative to Hulk you could be the nicey nice THOR with morals and obligations to Asgard and all that stuff. A hammer for throwing but it's probably best not to throw this hammer, it is a toy after all and is not imbued with cosmic power, so it won't come back to you once thrown!

This one also has sound effects!

Thor: Ragnarok POP! Figures by Funko

These are our personal fave! POP! Funko figures are amazing, they traverse into every MARVEL fandom and beyond. They are dreams! They are the glory of geek culture today... POP! Funko we love you!
