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

You didn't miss anything. Thing was Massive, tall, and nude. The one thing they did right was show the audience how scary it is to have these abilities. Imagine being elastic without being able to control it, going in and out of being invisible, being on fire...FIRE, or turning into a solid rock. It looks and sounds cool, but that would be a horrific experience.
