He is looking so freaking awesome! Can't wait to see him when he's done.

Bigger head really makes it work,
looks great Austin!

Great work Austin!!

So I went with a larger head (probably looks better because he has no neck). Added a cloth belt, but need to take in the feet a little. The legs are too baggy for my taste. Constructive criticism always welcome.

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!

it's clobberin' time! i'd go with a bigger head too, but nice!

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