Zombied Thing head

[megocrazy]

Any one had a Thing head go zombie on them. I have a thing and the head is quite a bit darker than any of the others I have or have seen. It's also darker than the section of the neck plug hidden inside the body. Just wondering if anybody else has seen this.

I've seen Thing heads that turned grey. I think all of the FF had this problem.

It's not grey though. In fact it's almost better than the original color. It's a dark orange. I'd like to see a suit and body in the same color. It isn't like the Torch head turns which is lighter, almost a whitish grey. This is darker than normal. I've just never seen it with this particular figure. I'm guessing it is the zombie affect.

yeah nothing new especially the carded version. never seen grey head on a boxed version tho.

I've never seen a FF head become darker over time. Usually the Thing or Torch heads seem to lose color over time.

Hmmmm....

Yeah; usually when heads zombie up they go a chalky grey.... Sounds like you got one with either a weird pigment mix in the plastic, or it was exposed/repainted/dipped in something at some point. ("Now Thing.... drown in Dr Doom's Kool-Aid of Death!!!!")

Exactly, that's why I found it odd. I actually like the new color but the suit and hands are way too light. The color seems much more comic accurate.

Time to build a custom Thing!
