Thanks! The hardest part of the mod was separating the glue that was holding the gauntlet cuff to the arm. It took several bouts of heat, but once seperated, the cuff popped right off. After that, there's two pegs that secure it to the BAF arm piece which need to be removed to fit the older Thanos, which can easily be done with a hobby knife. After that, it's just a matter of sanding and cutting along the inside of the gauntlet to whittle it down for a better fit. Once that's done, pop off the wrist and gauntlet from the old figure and replace it with Thanos's new toy...

After the time, effort, and money I put into building the previous Thanos figure, there was no way I was going to let Hasbro sucker me in with a slightly different version of the same figure with accessory differences, especially when there were doable alternatives out there. The nice part is that the MCU Gauntlet is nicely styled and sculpted, but it's not so overdone that it looks out of place with the comic version of the figure. I always see people complaining about things on their figures that are really simple fixes here on the threads, and I just wanted to post a mod that literally anyone can do. I'm no pro, but I've made all kinds of alterations to my figures over the years that have really allowed me to enjoy them much more, without having to bow down to Hasbro's shortcomings. It doesn't take a terrible amount of talent...all you have to do is not be afraid of screwing up.

Play on brothers!
