The Disney Store and Diamond Select Toys have once again partnered up to bring fans two new exclusives for Marvel Select, which includes Thanos and Unmasked Homecoming Spider-Man Figures. Thanos is based on his appearance as seen in the pages of Marvel Comics, and most notably his own ongoing title that began in 2016. Thanos includes new metallic deco that makes the figure stand out compared to most other Marvel Select figures on your toy shelves.
Thanos and Spider-Man are available on the Marvel Shop, and Disney Store. Both figures are priced at $24.95.
Availability: April 2018
Thanos stands at 7 1/2″ tall and comes painted in a metallic gold armor and dark blue costume. The figures sculpt has some weight to it, and is big, bulky and features a great likeness to the character. The gold armor also has some silver and copper deco painted throughout the design, and the helmet also has gold deco with a bronze wash over it, along with dark blue deco covering most of the sides and back. Most of the armor has a copper wash over the gold, and this is to make it look a bit dirty and worn.
The bulkiness of the armor, chest and legs makes the character look formidable enough even without the Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand. While the armor covers a portion of the sculpt, the dark blue parts of the costume has black lines sculpted and painted, along with circles on his back, and thick lines going down the center of his pants that also has a pattern to it.
The Infinity Gauntlet comes with all 6 gems and each one is painted in a different color as it should be. The orange, green, blue, purple and yellow gems are located at the knuckles, and the red gem is located above the knuckles on the center of the back of the hand. The Infinity Gauntlet is sculpted with a closed fist, and the other hand is sculpted in an open position as if he’s grabbing an opponent. Both gloves are sculpted differently, and the Infinity Gauntlet has more copper deco as well as a wash over it compared to the other glove.
Thanos includes two head sculpts, one helmeted and regular head. While the facial details and grins are similar, the helmeted head sculpt has more detail and deco to it compared to the bald purple head. The facial details are unique to each other, and even though they are both grinning, the mouths are sculpted differently. The skin is painted in a light purple with a black wash over it, which is more noticeable on the regular head. The teeth are painted in beige with black deco in-between each tooth, and the eyes are painted in red.
Thanos is articulated similar to previous Marvel Select figures, and includes a ball jointed neck, ball hinged shoulders, swivel biceps, swivel-hinged elbows, swivel gloves, swivel-hinged wrists, ball jointed torso, swivel-hinged hips, swivel upper legs, double-hinged knees, hinged boots, hinged and rocker ankles.
What is also great about this figure, is that he’s compatible with the Predator Bone Throne by NECA Toys.
Overall, Thanos is an incredible figure with an excellent figure sculpt and superior deco. Marvel fans, especially collectors of Marvel Select will definitely like this figure.
