so i finally came across a movie thing that didnt have smash em arms, or talking voice, or buttons. i really like this figure, the only problem is the downy michael chicklis rock face. I remember the 90s when thing appeared on Marvel cards with a mask. always wondered why, my comic guru told me that it was from when wolverine and him got in a fight and wolves slashes his petty mugg. from then on (for the early 90s? like a year, lol) he wore the mask. I made a cast of series 3 Things head, probably one of my favorite thing heads. and formed a mask around the movie thing head. the figure was 100% repainted, black paint wash, rubbed off excess with towel. sanded, and dry brushed the crap outta him. repainted pants, and boots and belt. looks nice. hope you guys like. i think te scale and how he stands, looks really good.

lol, marvel metal cards were sweet. I just completed all my sets. I was going to do the hamburger face, but this I guess is more of a Before and After kind of thing. Probably will make a 3rd head tonight. thanks dude

Awesome! I still have that series with a shiny foil cover and some kind of raised vinyl covers in solid colors. The only thing missing is under the mask half his face looked like hamburger! Stellar work on the paints!
