(More customer reviews)This Thing action figure is part of the new Marvel Universe action figure line by Hasbro. The figures are 3-3/4" scale, making them smaller than previous Marvel Comics action figures.
Thing, member of the Fantastic Four, comes with no accessories or weapons. Just the figure, in all its rocky muscularness. The figure features articulation in its ankles, knees, hips, torso, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and neck. It's pretty posable and (because of the nature of the character) is bigger and less delicate than some other figures in the line. Thing seems to be made of a harder plastic than some other figures, but he should still withstand normal use and abuse.
Thing's design is based on his classic look from the comics, although they've chosen to give him blue pants and boots instead of his earlier blue shorts. Thing is a nice addition to any superhero collection.
Hasbro's new Marvel Universe action figure line and Mattel's new DC Universe: Infinite Heroes action figure line are both pretty cool. Both include your favorite superhero characters, the way they looked in the comics, with no gimmicky added features, at a standard 3-3/4" scale. Just the basics.
It's cool to have all the Marvel characters under one roof. Same size, same quality. (Ditto for DC characters.) You don't need to worry about Iron Man being twice as big as Spider-Man, etc. The new figures are all the same scale.
And it's cool that the figures base the designs off the comic books, rather than recent movie or stylized cartoon appearances. It gives the characters a timeless, definitive quality. And there's no weird "laser strike armor" or anything. Just the classic superheroes, plain and simple. I like that.
Also, the 3-3/4" scale is the scale of the popular Star Wars figures. So you could mix Marvel, DC, and Star Wars characters together into an awesome playtime adventure. 3-3/4" seems to be a popular standard for action figures. (Figures were bigger when I was younger.) But I'm fine with that.
These new action figures (both Marvel Universe and DC Universe: Infinite Heroes) seem to be made for kids. Some action figures (particularly previous Marvel Legends figures) are aimed more toward collectors, with intricate detail and a multitude of joints and moving parts. But these new figures are more kid-friendly. Ready to be played with, not just looked at. (The Marvel figures have an online promotion to enter codes and "become a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent".)

Highly detailed and fully articulated. A great figure for collectors of Marvel Universe 3-3/4" scale action figures or Marvel Comic fans in general.
