The Thing is seen in battle mode, standing on a destroyed Fantastic Four spaceship and ready to throw a punch. His rock appearance is made up of rocks of various sizes with smaller rocks at joints, neck, and face. XM Team used rock formation to create his anatomy, resulting in a realistic and clearly defined musculature. The interplay between shadows and highlights define the crevices, further accentuating the realistic rocky skin texture. Decked in Fantastic Four’s iconic blue uniform design, XM Team modernized the shorts with textured panels and added piping details on the edge and down the side.
The Thing comes in 2 head sculpts – one displaying a smirking, confident look, and one displaying a raging battle mode. Collectors can choose to display it either as a standalone piece or with Super Skrull to depict a dynamic mid-battle scene.
Character Background
Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Susan Storm, and her brother, Johnny Storm, were forever changed during an experimental space flight in a stolen rocket that exposed them to cosmic radiation giving them superhuman powers and abilities. All four of them survived but tragically Ben Grimm’s enhanced strength and durability muted his skin and body into a super-strong rock appearance which robbed him of the ability to pass as a human. He turned into a monster with a ‘’Heart of Gold’’ defending the innocent, fighting evil and joining forces as Fantastic Four saving the world from science-based threats.
