    Yeah, I'm pretty sure. The wings and blades come from the fight on Titan.

    Personally, I'd wait for an opportunity to get the Mk.50 coming up from the Endgame line of figures, as it has more interesting accessories.

    No, I'm not talking about the Nano Set that comes with the wings and blades :)  I'm talking about the Endgame version of Mark 50.

    I think @Luna189 is talking about this:

    Which I definitely don't recall him using in IW. Also, does anyone recognize this one?

    The Mark 50 Nano Set 2 comes with accessories I don't think were in IW. These were likely designed before maybe even IW came out so I'm thinking that's why they aren't 100% accurate to what we've seen on screen.

    Just received mine as well and I’ll echo this to some extent. I don’t like him as much as IW Thanos for these same reasons. He does look nice, but the armor definitely hinders him compared to his IW version. He can still be intimidating and fairly expressive, but it isn’t as easy to get him there and the dynamic stuff is really limited. You can’t really have him do the hurl a moon pose from IW for example.

    Am I way off, or

    doesn't Tony use this in Endgame during the fight with Thanos, to take in some lightning from Thor while standing behind him to do a big repulsor blast?

    You’re correct. I guess SHF wants to reuse the mold as many times as they can.

    He does but this figure is also a little inaccurate with regards to how it looks in the back because in the Endgame he had circular repulsor-like thing on his back which I assume is meant to take the lightning and redirect them into the beams.

    I must say, living in California is pretty sweet when it comes to getting packages from Japan. I was charged for Endgame Thanos last Thursday (ordered from Amazon JP the day it went up for preorder,) and he arrived today. That's 4-day shipping for $12. I am absolutely ordering from there whenever something I want is available to ship to the U.S.

    First off, I don't know why my flash made Thanos' skin look more blue than purple, but the figure is indeed the same color as the Infinity War figure. The in-box shot conveys the color more accurately.

    Speaking of blue, I realize now that the blue sections of the armor are not screen-accurate. They're supposed to be brown (in both movies,) but I really like how this looks. Maybe it's a nod to the comic design, but I think blue & gold looks better than brown & gold.


    Pros:
    -----
    - 3 interchangeable faces.
    - Infinity War Thanos heads can be used on this body, with the helmet displayed as empty.
    - 3 interchangeable sets of hands.
    - Better gold color than the Marvel Legends version (especially the Gauntlet.)
    - Weapon stays in hand much more securely than the Marvel Legends version.
    - Better articulation, for the most part.

    Cons:
    -----
    - Not screen-accurate colors (but I prefer this blue & gold combo anyway.)
    - Butterfly joints near the shoulders return, but the armor hinders them a bit.
    - Weapon not screen-accurate (though, neither is the Legends version.)
    - Both wrists feature the extending joint from the Infinity War version's Gauntlet wrist. They're effective, but often look odd.
    - Ball joint-based ankle motion instead of dedicated ankle rockers.


    Overall, a solid entry in the line. At heart, it's essentially the same Thanos figure from last year, but now fully armored. If you can still get him for around $100 (my total was $93 shipped from Amazon JP,) then I'd definitely recommend pulling that trigger. If not, the Marvel Legends version is still a very good display piece, but I'd wait for eBay prices to go down (or maybe even hope for another 3-pack with an accurate weapon.)

    Think I’m gonna get off my lazy ass and check for Endgame figures on websites other than BBTS, any suggestions?

    Appreciate all of y’all’s reviews. I saw D Amazing’s review on YouTube too and the articulation and quality seemed great in his eyes as well. I’m glad I got mine preordered at BBTS. I will have to wait longer, but at least I won’t be paying $120+ for him, so that’s nice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    If any of you could, mind snapping a size comparison pic of him with the hips dropped down? Just curious how much extra height it gives him, but I’m sure it’ll look disproportioned

    There are some good, trustworthy Japanese retailers/sellers on eBay. But like my PS4 Spidey story, you’re probably gonna have to pay an extra $20 or $30 due to demand.

    Amazon Japan has Thanos, but at 12,800 yen.

    Endgame Thanos looks great and I love how you can head swap with IW Thanos. The only small issue I have on mine is that the right shoulder ball joint is a bit tight and creaky. Kind of scary to pose. I also wish his legs had a better range of articulation.
