Stormbreaker Thor's Axe 3D Printing Model | Assembly

HISTORY OF STORMBREAKER

When Thor’s hammer Mjolnir was destroyed by his sister Hela, he thought that he had lost his strength because he relied too much on his trademark weapon. He left for the planet called Sakaar where he managed to show his real power, which was still not enough to defeat Thanos. So he, along with Rocket Raccoon and Teenager Groot, went to Nidavellir where he met Eitri the Dwarf King, all that was left from this kingdom’s people, the last surviving witness of his Realm’s former greatness. He once had helped to forge the Infinity Gauntlet for Thanos, but he had then deceived him. He created a new weapon for Thor - an axe called Stormbreaker, powerful enough to defeat the great Titan.
