Putting the Hammer Down

I have a friend who’s a big Marvel fan and he’s also a big kid at heart. When we were on our student’s holiday last year he kept getting in touch; and as one of our friends was a big collector of plushie toys he tasked her with obtaining him a plushie Mjolnir. Inspired by this; I ordered one from e-Bay for £15 from a character fancy dress shop as a birthday gift. What a piece of crap. The handle was too light and ridiculously short for its plushie head. A bit of strength could see the head fly right off. With a bit more planning; I could have bought him the decent one from Argos complete with a sturdy springy plastic handle for vibrations complete with sound effects. And it would have been in the 3 for 2 toys offer as well. But, having seen the movie; this inferior axe makes more sense as it’s more likely to break; just as Mjolnir is destroyed by Hela in the film.
