Thanos is 6'8 not 7'8 . he has never been bigger than the Hulk or even his same hgt. But I do forget that artists nowadays tend to say to heck with what their listed hgts are supposed to be and are now turning the Hulk, Juggernaut, Thanos into 8-9 ft giants.

Juggernaut was originally 6'10-900lbs and Still slightly smaller than the Hulk who at the time was always listed at 7ft, 1000lbs. Now of course, they have to increase both in hgt and wgt cuz I guess being 6'10 & 7ft tall just isn't considered big enough for today's crowd. Even Colossus was never drawn as being 7'5 by John Byrne & Jim Lee, 2 of the best X-men artists ever. He was always drawn at around the 7ft mark. If a classic Bronze age Stalin Thanos is ever done, he should be no taller than 6.5 inches tall but with a more massive squat build. Or give me the infinity gauntlet 90s Ron Lim Thanos. Lim also knew how to draw Thanos at his correct scale. Lim also drew an awesome Silver Surfer! As did the master, George Perez, he always drew all his characters in their correct hgts/scale. Nowadays we have 7 ft Thors, 9 ft Hulks, even the Thing who is supposed to be just 6ft tall,is now drawn Hulk sized. I pray that when Hasbro does the Thing figure, that they do him at his correct scale and not 7 inch scale. Thing should be 6 inches tall and very wide/squat. The articulation count should not be in the 20s on him. Thing is a brawler and doesn't need so many POA as he does not do somersaults/backflips or karate kicks. Keep the POA in the low-mid teens. Give him alternate fists & open hands. Too much POA on him would break up the sculpt. The 2 pack TB Thing that came out in 2010 with Reed, was perfect in hgt, sculpt and POA. I wish I had not sold it off yrs ago.
Some Select figures definitely work with Legends because different artists have made some of those characters (like Thanos) much larger than their classic sizes. A few Select large characters are only slightly larger than their Hasbro BAF counterparts such as Juggernaut, Rhino, and Thanos. Now the Abomination Select on the other hand dwarfs the BAF but I know a lot of people want Abomination's size to match his name and the BAF doesn't really cut it. Standard-sized characters do not work though, I can't put my select movie Ant-Man next to my MCU legends because Paul Rudd's not a giant.

BTW that Thing two pack with Mr. Fantastic is by Hasbro and it was 2008, Toybiz was long gone by then. Still a good Thing figure.
