The Thing--Repaint

"Sure, sure! I'm just a big, fat, handsome hero! Now outta the way--I got things to do!"
                                                                                       -The Thing, Marvel Comics

Now on to an actual custom of ours: the lovable blue eyed Benjy boy!

The Thing figure is a plastic Hasbro 'Handful of Heroes' figure. These were little plastic unpainted figurines back in the day, sort of like Army Guys but with super heroes. Here's a pic:

IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!

And here he is all painted up nice and fancy like :P Not a perfect paint job, but it definitely brings out the definition in the sculpt.

IT'S CLOBBERIN' REAR!

He almost looks better from the backside than he does from the front... the wash was nicer :)

Hulk V. Thing!

I almost wish I had tried to get a bigger figure... but I already had this guy and he turned out so nicely, I won't complain :P

The Lovable Thing's Army Card

Our version of the Thing is much less powerful than many other fan versions. I wanted our thing to do more clobberin'... Less bruiser and more brawler. As a result, he's based more off of Captain America than he is off of the Hulk. Still, however, two attacks of 5 should make hulk hurt a bit :P His tough keeps him going for extended periods of time, and to give him one more super powered ability, we gave him a boulder throwing ability (inspired honestly by the Lego Marvel Super Heroes game :P)

So what do you think? Is our Thing ready to clobber? Sound off in the comments below!
