I’m torn on which Thanos I want but I think I want this version first since he’s out already. Naturally.

Less than 24 hours until I get mine! So excited to finally be getting this, especially after seeing Endgame

New to Hot Toys collecting and am absolutely blown away by this Thanos. Being the first figure that I have to feature rubber joints, I was rather apprehensive about posing them. That being said, after bending one of the arms two clicks for a photoshoot, I had to leave for a meeting and completely forgot about it till the next day when I finally had time to continue.

I noticed that the bent joint had what looked to be oil leaking out from it. Upon cleaning it off with a dry cloth, I noticed some wrinkles that may or may not have been there from the beginning.

Essentially, my question is: Is one day of leaving the arm bent already enough to damage the rubber? Are those wrinkles sign of deterioration already?

YES

YES

Darn, I knew the rubber was frail, but not that frail... Regardless, how do you guys store the spare arm? In the box? I highly doubt putting it in a baggie along with the other accessories is good for the rubber either.

Rubber is a fickle mistress. People have complained about the deterioration of the rubber Batman suits and the Comedian suit from 10 years ago relatively early in the line. I personally have collected the Dutch and Chris Redfield bodies which are all rubber besides the legs and have never had an issue with the rubber; knock on wood. I do try and keep them in cool parts of my home with no exposure to the sun.

I have just purchased this guy with the hopes that he will be compatible with the End Game Thanos. What compatibility I am referring to would be a spoiler so let's just say I hope they compliment each other better than the Infinity War version compliments the Guardians version. Personally I love the "throne" that comes with the GOTG Thanos but he looks like his kid; way too small. Hopefully any issues with the rubber will be figured out by the time the End Game Thanos comes out.

I feel like in the long run it's going to be really hard to have Mark L on the shelf without this Thanos.

Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives.


This is such an amazing figure! It's definitely imposing and I placed it on its own shelf. What an eye catcher haha.

Great pose ! Might need to steal that one !

Thanks man! That pose really shows his true height.

 

[crazygmpoker]

Yea I was thinking something crouching and menacing when I get mine, but that pose is awesome. Might be rethinking it now.

Might?!?!?!?! Lol, I’m going to pilfer the hell out of that pose!

I always liked these poses for this figure:

I've always liked the pose for the SDCC Thanos statue. Looks proud and powerful.

Add me to the list of people who are going to use that pose. Nice work, sir.
