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

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

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