The fourth review in this Fantastic 4 series is here!  It's the THING!  I don't know if it's loving this comic as a kid, or the coolness of the upcoming movie.... but these figures are fast becoming a favorite! 

THE THING has the fewest articulation points of all the figures in this series, but his massive size makes up for it.   An interesting point of articulation is his left hand, with a hinge to help move the hand in different levels of post.  The headsculpt is exceptionally well done... depicting a strong and determined hero.    The rest of the rock body is very well sculpted and painted, depicting a realistic rock body.

From the back of the box:  "Ben Grimm grew up on the mean streets of New York and looked for any possible way to get out.  Thanks to a football scholarship to a leading university, he did.  In college, Ben met the brilliant Reed Richards.  Reed took good-hearted Ben under his wing and helped him study; Bent protected his best friend, the science geek, from the local bullies.  As Reed's first choice to pilot his experimental space mission, Ben isn't happy to end up co-pilot under former junior officer Johnny Storm.  Although he's an expert pilot, Johnny likes to joke and play pranks, especially on the old-fashioned Ben Grimm.  The fateful accident in space turn Ben into The Thing -- a superhuman, super strong creature with an irreversible orange-colored rocky exterior.  After many tests Reed has yet to find a weight that The Thing can't handle!  Many people find him unsightly, but Ben struggles to maintain his sense of humor and honor -- because under that tough exterior lies an ever-lovin' heart of gold!"
