Reddit user AltruisticSpecific15, also known as Eile, recently created a life-sized replica of Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, and shared it on theGod of War: Ragnaroksubreddit. Eile said they made it to give as a Christmas present. They didn’t reveal who they made the hammer for, but whoever it is must be a pretty bigGod of War: Ragnarokfan. It’s also an impressive piece of handy work that recreates many of the details present in the game, andGod of War: Ragnarokfans were very impressed when Eile shared it on the subreddit.
Mjolnir is one of the most iconicweapons inGod of War: Ragnarokand is rivaled only by Kratos’ Leviathan Axe as one of the most powerful weapons in the Nine Realms. While Santa Monica Studios applied its own interpretations of many parts of Norse mythology,Ragnarok’s version of Mjolnir stands out for how closely it matches some ancient depictions of the weapon, including its short handle and the unusual shape of its head.
Eile made the hammer primarily out of painted EVA over the course of about 12-15 hours. The fine detailing on the hilt and hammerhead is particularly impressive, as are the gold bands curling up from the grip. The head looks a bit more like stone than metal, but it still looks great and is an extremely impressive example of fan-made costume weaponry.
God of War: Ragnarokis available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
