Thing
Best version of the thing released. He's bulky, big and orange. Some may be put off by his color and he'd benefit from a wash. Minimal articulation but his pose works for Ben. Solid figure, but nothing awe-inspiring. B
Namor
A good figure of the Atlantean with a vest. But my biggest complaint is his eyebrows. They're all wrong. Solid figure of the first mutant but could be improved. C+

I agree with Jester again. I wanted exactly one Thing figure, and this one is the best blend of costume, color, and pose. All in all, it's probably one of my favorite SHS figures. I like how chunky Thing feels. They did a good job on his fragmented, rocky skin. I love how one arm has a clenched fist and the other showcases his exaggerated, huge hands. I also like the expressive eyebrows and goofy grin. That he only has articulation at his waist is his only knock. B+.
I always imagined Namor as taller than this stout, compact rendition. With the clenched fists, forward pose, and aggressive eyebrows, Namor comes off as intense and focused, like Tom Cruise. Considering how ordinary the pose is, I'm surprised we only get articulation at the waist. Although I'm glad to have a Submariner in my collection, overall this is an okay but unremarkable figure. C.

Thing
Thing's rocky like appearance makes is really detailed. My only complaint is that he is smiling since when does Thing smile. Above all great figure. A
Namor
Namor has a flat head. What is up with that. Plus his eyebrows and his haircut feel flat also. Not too exciting. D

D About Thing smiling, you've got to remember, this is a YOUNG kids toy line, so it helps them to understand which guys are the "good guys" by their smiles. Hulk isn't exactly the friendliest guy on earth, but he's smiling in a few figures as well. |

 Looking back, the biggest issue with this version of the Thing is his color. It makes me so hungry. Sure, a little more articulation wouldn't hurt but he's a big, solid figure. As for Namor, the face is all wrong. Plus I'd prefer him in his classic costume instead of leather daddy. Full review: jestergoblin.com/?p=2143 |
