              Sweet Lord. That is perfect. Awesome job!

                Wow, that is fantastic! As a big fan of the Mego 12 inchers, I so wish Mego had made a 12" Thing, and man, this right here would have been it.

                  You had this at the Meet? I don't recall seeing it. I love the THING. Personally I think the smaller head is better. Something I read once about artists who drew the HULK. If you draw the head smaller-he looks more massive overall.

                  The Baggy legs bother you? Truth is even Jack Kirby's THING had different proportions than a muscular human leg. So any human-like body may always look a bit off-model. Still, great work!

                      Austin,
                      That is some fantastic work you are doing!
                      The bigger head works better for me too.
                      Awesome!
