The Thing

Recipe:
Torso, abdomen, head: ML 2 Thing
Shoulders, arms, legs: FF 1 Thing

GrownNerd's recipe. It's shortening the thighs that gets ya. That's where the work goes. If it was just swapping parts it'd be a cakewalk, but I did not like the long bike short on those legs nor how tall it made him. The Thing is at the right size for me now - you can see the scale pic below. Once it was complete it's got the look and articulation I want. The update here is a couple new paint applications - some splatter effects applied with a toothbrush in multiple colors. Makes it more rough and rocky. It's a subtle change, but when you really get up and look at it there's another level of depth that I like. Ok, it's not a big update, but the next one is pretty cool.

Love this recipe. Made one myself a couple of years back, but I didn't shorten the legs as I found the task to be a bit too daunting at the time. I kinda like the taller thing better anyway, as he appeared in the Avengers, Earths Mightiest Heroes show. Ben being shorter than Reed just seems odd to me. I also dig your Cap custom. Again, I have one using the exact same recipe sitting on my shelf. Great minds think alike, am I right ? LOL All righty then, great work.

Nice! It's a killer recipe for Thing - he looks more like that smaller Superhero Showdown one that ToyBiz made that I liked so much. I just took a look at yours in the group shot with Human Torch. It's a very nice FF you made!

Thanks SS! That's a great complement. I can't wait to see what Hasbro does with the upcoming Walgreen's exclusive Thing.
