THANOS
Toy Biz continues to work with Diamond Select Toys to deliver the best and most authentic-looking figures for frugal collectors in love with the Marvel Comics universe. Each multiarticulated Marvel Select piece looks as if it were snatched from a sequential-art page. Each also represents a defining moment for the character and is designed with the original artist's concept in mind.

Accessories: Accompanied by a free-standing, nonarticulated 7-inch-tall figure of Death that can wear the included female mask to hide its skeletal face, the nearly 9-inch-tall Thanos, with 16 points of articulation, looks fantastic. With a mighty tug from the owner, he gets to put on his deadly, gem-filled gauntlet by replacing his removable right hand.
Read all about it: Marvel offers the trade paperback of the six-issue Infinity Gauntlet ($24.95) series highlighting the work of writer Jim Starlin and illustrators George Perez and Ron Lim.
Words to buy by: Sculptor Phil Ramirez perfectly captures artist George Perez's version of Thanos, down to the purplish grimaced mug, the vein-popping musculature and the golden boots and gloves. The beefy villain will look perfect sitting on a shelf next to Diamond Select Toys' Dr. Doom and Classic Green Goblin figures or engaged in battle against the company's version of the Ultimate Incredible Hulk.
