Overall, I am so happy with Toy Fair. I know everything I'll be buying and I'm making space in my shelves today.

Even in the 2 FF movies & the original 90s FF Roger Corman FF movie, The Thing was portrayed as being a 6 footer. Now I never even bothered seeing the monstrosity that was the last FF movie that came out a couple of yrs ago, they probably made the Thing a giant in that one. But for this Hasbro Thing version, I feel they got the thickness/mass of the character right, they screwed up on the hgt again. Kirby/Perez/Byrne drew the definitive Thing IMO & as of right now, the BAF Ronan wave Thing is the closest we have to that version. That's why the best Thing customs I see are like the one I posted. A combo of Ronan wave buck & TB wave 2 Thing head. The TB wave 2 Thing Head sculpt is perfect & goes great on the Ronan wave Thing buck finished with a accurate paint job. Had they incorporated an ab crunch to that figure, it woulda been perfect IMO. Depending on if this new Thing figure is just 7 inches tall, I can more than likely perform some sort of surgery on the figure to bring him down to 6; scale but if it's closer to 8' scale, fuggedaboudit! This is how tall, wide, big, thick the Thing should be IMO.

Thing by the great George Perez

John Byrne Thing


I can only hope that the alternate Thing head looks like either of those 2 great artists versions so I can slap it on a Hasbro Ronan BAF wave Thing buck.

On the other hand, that Silver Surfer is a thing of beauty imo & we finally have the definitive SS figure. I just hope he comes with alternate fist hands. Also hope the Thing comes with alternate hands as well
