The Legendary Riders figures, coming between and during a run of pretty awesome build a figure sets as they did, didn't really spark my imagination personally. However, I did get the pretty cool Wolverine figure with motorcycle and finally after staring me down several times while I was in the store the Fantastic Four's Thing finally made it home with me.

As a depiction of the Thing from the origin of the team it is pretty spot on. His rocky (Cap 'n Crunchy?) exterior looks good and the paint really makes it look like hard rock, which is good since that's all he's got as his uniform consists of his blue underwear. He does have a semi-constipated grimace on his face but its not really that bad. He has good articulation, elbows, knees, wrists, fingers, neck, ankles and so on.

Now, the Wolverine has a cool motorcycle so is Thing's transportation just as cool? Ah, heh heh, nope. It's a Fantastiscooter or basically a hovering moped and to be honest he just looks silly sitting on it as he's so big and the scooter looks so effeminate. I'll keep it in case I get an Invisible Woman or Mr. Fantastic who might not look so silly on it.

So good figure overall. Just forget about the scooter.

It is good that the makers of Marvel Legends toys have recreated the Thing with the F.F.'s Jet Cycle. The Jet cycle became Thing's favorite mode of travel, and he even chased and fought the Silver Surfer on it.

Really solid figure. Super articulated. The skin could have been better. I believe others have said Cap'n Crunch skin and I agree. The face looks like Thing has a lip full of chewing tobacco...and he doesnt like it. But thats cool. This is also origin Thing so I dont have to tell you what comic he comes with. He stands on his own very well. The scooter is too small...its like if Andre the Giant got on one of those coin operated rocket ships for kids you seen in malls & outside of stores. No loss of a star though, because it still works with other figures...and who wants Thing flying around anyway?
