Doesn't he go by Odinson now?

Yes, last I saw.  "Thor" has been retconned to be a title now, rather than a personal name.  Kind of silly if you ask me.  Female hero taking over the role?  Fine, neat idea, plenty of story potential for a kind of tired franchise, worth giving it a chance.  "Odinson" having used a title for his actual name all those years, even when he was speaking himself, and even when speaking to loved ones in intimate situations?  Goofy.

Thor's full name was always Thor Odinson  wasn't it, and the Hammer does say
"Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor."
So it's not much of a stretch having a girl that looks like Thor with the power of Thor to be called Thor, and the real Thor dropping his first name since obviously he's not worthy to posses the Power of Thor so why use the name. I've not read the title for while, do they actually call her Thor to her face or does she have a normal name? and oes anyone in the Marvel universe call her Ther like they do on the internet?

Anyway back on subject, while I don't want to do a Thor, I'm thinking about doing a female beta ray bill, maybe use a horse skull as a basis for a head and go from there

I'm definetly stealing that nick fury idea, I had planned to order some statuesque stuff anyway for the random platypus statuesque paint-a-long so I'll just have to add her  :D
and the not lobster johnson as widow is also really cool, might nick that too.
I also really like that iron man idea, although I would prefer a more modern take in full armour, will have to think about that.

not sure if I want to do a thor, there are certainly plenty of options of minis to turn him into a chick, but isn't he a woman now anyway? to me that kind of defeats the purpose of what I'm going for

Anyway thanks for the great ideas

Glad to help. The not lobster Johnson is Phantom Acefor Pulp Alley, also sculpted by Andrew at Statuesque.
