I bought a Thanos kit from Brian L. at MegoMeet last year. It included a cast unpainted head with a complete Hulk sized outfit. Whan I got home i realized I did not have a spare Hulk/Thing body to put it together. I finnaly bought a beat up Hulk on Ebay a few weeks ago.
I made a few changes to Brian's Thanos head. I added some extra trim before I painted it. I had looked at some Thanos pics on google and decided to add the extra trim. Then I painted the yellow, blue and black onto the head.
Ever since I was a kid, it bothered me that the Hulk/Thing body was shorter than the other WGSH. The Hulk figure I bought had damaged feet, which I removed. I then put famous Covers cyclops boots on the figure. I put a Captain Marvel figure in the pictures to show tha extra height on Thanos.
This is the 4th or 5th custom I have done with parts bought from Brian. I'm sure it won't be my last. I love the true mego look of his work.

I have been toying with a thanos custom for some time, but just ain't happy with him yet. I like your idea to make him taller. Well done.

Great Idea on the feet to make the figure taller. Nice paint job on the face, and of course Brian's stitching makes every figure look great.

Good job on the feet, Thanos looks a lot better with his added height. And you just can't go wrong with BL parts

Thats really cool! The boots really make a difference. I really dig Brians stuff, just got one of his Kingpin heads.
