The one on the left is what we got and the one on the right is what they advertised, big difference.

Ahhh!

When i bought Thanos, I got him of the secondary market and never saw the original pics, thanks for showing them here!

This will sound a bit strange, but for me, I like this character and the sculpt so much that the differences in color are not dealbreakers for me. I still think it's an awesome piece that I would proudly display against any other Thanos done to date.

That said, SS's could be completely insane and I intend to get this piece as well. I don't think the value will drop on the Bowen piece - its too quality of a sculpt and the paint issues make a small edition size even smaller.

Ooops.

I agree that this is a fantastic sculpt and I did not want to throw it out because of the paint job. I want to find someone who can come close to the color shown on the website.

I think that Sideshow's Thanos will totally rock and I pray they get the paint job right.

I may be biased because it is the first statue I bought. But I love my BD Thanos.

Wow...imho that's a huge difference. That would bother me if I bought this statue and this powder puff blue wonder showed up at my door.

The Bowen Thanos statue is one of my favorites and I doubt the SS one will have much affect on the price. Maybe if they release a comiquette with a light up gauntlet in the future. The Bowen statue is much more costume accurrate and has a much better face and pose. The only thing I like better with the SS Dio is the color.

Damn insomniac, your pics always make the statues look so nice.
