Default Best Thanos repaint ever!?!?!?!?

I had a Ron Lim head put on and the whole statue repainted by John Ficchi. I have seen a lot of Thanos repaints and most of you know I am a huge Thanos fan. He knocked this one out of the park. This one is the best I have ever seen.... By far. Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks for looking. The paint looks even better in person, if you can imaging that....

Yeah, it looks like he just stepped out of a comic book, the way the paint shimmers in the light it absolutely amazing. I am no photographer and I only use my phone to take pics. Imagine how it would look if someone who knows how to take pictures took them and with a decent camera! It is breathtaking...

WOW! Stunning! How was the head swap done? The colors are awesome! I love the new head so much! I want it! I'll call it "My Precious."

Great paint, but I prefer the original head.

If you see the collection thread in new posts, it's because new pics have been added.

Ditto... the baby teeth on the new head freak me out (there are 30% more teeth crammed in there, with space between them. *shudder*), but the face doesn't scream Thanos to me.

That is a killer paint app though on Thanos, and the base is much better as well.


Please for the love of god give us a decent modern Fantastic Four!!!

Wish list for new Bowen sculpts (all full size):
1) KANG the Conqueror!, 2) Ronan the Accuser, 3) Hobgoblin, 4) Green Goblin, 5) 80's Cyclops, 6) Baron Zemo

Do you have a spare regular hand for the Bowen Apocalypse FS? If so, PM me please!

Where do you get the Ron Lim head? How do you swap them?

Must have been one of those odd numbered days, even month, when the moon is full. A lengthy interrogation to substantiate that you are a Thanos fan, as well as a secret handshake, followed by the secret dance and song.

Thanks for all the great comments. I still can't get over how great this turned out. It is painted to match the custom bust on the custom thread. I am so very pleased. Makes me want to get another one done...lol

As I told you before, this is def the best repaint of this statue I've seen yet! While I like the comic book feel to the Ron Lim face sculpt, I too prefer the original head. Only because it's just so menacing! Good stuff Justin!
