Prime 1 Studios sells Thor again: 1/3-scale God of War statue up to $2,000

God of War fans have been eating well in 2026, and now the merch economy is getting its own blockbuster moment. Prime 1 Studio has officially brought Thor back with a new 1/3-scale God of War Ragnarök statue, priced up to $2,000. The company is also pointing to an early 2027 shipping target, which matters because in premium collectibles, cashflow timing is almost as important as hype.

If you are an executive looking at this category, the headline number is the tell. A product that can run as high as $2,000 is not designed for casual collectors. It is designed for people who treat limited releases like retail investing: they buy early, they expect quality, and they want confidence the item will actually arrive. That is exactly what the early 2027 ship expectation is doing. It is setting a planning horizon for Prime 1 Studio and, indirectly, for retailers and distributors that may need to coordinate inventory calendars around multi-month production cycles.

This Thor return also lands inside a broader God of War moment that is almost unfair to ignore. Santa Monica has already announced that it is working on a full remake of the original God of War trilogy, giving fans a chance to relive Kratos' conquest of the Greek pantheon. And on top of that, Santa Monica recently unveiled 20 minutes of interrupted gameplay footage from the first God of War spin-off, God of War Laufey, centered around Kratos' late wife. Even without an official release date, the expectations are that God of War Laufey could land sometime in 2027.

So what is the business logic connecting a statue release to a game pipeline? It comes down to how audiences spend across a franchise lifecycle. Big narrative IP tends to generate attention spikes. When the remake and the spin-off are in motion, collectors stop treating memorabilia like background noise and start treating it like part of the experience. In other words, the Thor statue is not floating in a vacuum. It is riding a wave of renewed franchise gravity built by Santa Monica's announcements and PlayStation showcase momentum.
