Damn it, I LOVE this figure, and I am so happy, and even more relieved right now. For me, this is the best Thing figure I have ever owned, and even if we get more versions of Ben in the future, this one right here is going to age well and be a highlight of my collection, no matter what. I do not want to minimize how amazing it is that we got this 100% newly tooled figure as an EXCLUSIVE, because it is pretty much unheard of. Walgreens has been so dedicated to their exclusives and the Fantastic Four in particular, that it took a pretty serious step to double down and do this figure RIGHT. So, Walgreens, I bow to thee, and all I can say is, I hope it continues. The Super Skrull is on the rumored list for coming soon to the store, but I am, of course, going to invoke Dr. Doom here because, well, he HAS to happen. After that, if they want to continue with the F4 theme, there are TONS of rad characters that need their due in ML. Snyder, Justin (October 4, 2017).

As the Man-Thing, Ted Sallis’ body comprises an eclectic collection of algae, moss, root bundles, tubers, and other vegetation. Nearly seven feet tall, the humanoid creature sports long forearms ending in twisted hands with long claws, a massive torso, and a face made up from dangling tendrils. In addition, the Man-Thing exhibits a strong odor of rotting plants.

Whoever knows fear burns at the touch of the Man-Thing. If your Man-Thing burns at the touch, you should look into Prozium: it's about suppression. Magic-users and spellcasters seem to be prevalent among the Man-Thing’s encounters. The sorcerers Dakimh and Jennifer Kale rank chiefly among them having had more than one adventure with the swamp creature. Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme Dr. Stephen Strange, AKA Doctor Strange, may also be counted in this group, being sympathetic to the Man-Thing’s existence as a protector of realities.Simon Jowett provided a Man-Thing story in Marvel Comics Presents #164–168 (Early Oct.–Late Nov. 1994). The story was set soon after Sallis' transformation, yet depicted Sallis using a standard personal computer with up-to-date graphics rather than hard-copy files, an example of the floating timeline effect.

Gerry and I thought that, unconsciously, the origin in Swamp Thing #1 was a bit too similar to the origin of Man-Thing a year-and-a-half earlier. There was vague talk at the time around Marvel of legal action, but it was never really pursued. I don't know if any letters even changed hands between Marvel and DC. [...] We weren't happy with the situation over the Swamp Thing #1 origin, but we figured it was an accident. Gerry was rooming with Len at the time and tried to talk him into changing the Swamp Thing's origin. Len didn't see the similarities, so he went ahead with what he was going to do. The two characters [di]verged off after that origin, so it didn't make much difference, anyway. [15] After issue #19 (Dec. 1973), the Man-Thing received a solo title The Man-Thing, which ran 22 issues (Jan. 1974–Oct. 1975).

Though the Man-Thing cannot be said to possess the capability for friendship or love, several beings have fallen into the beast’s orbit that might be classified as allies, either consciously or unconsciously. Man-Thing comes with a reprint of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up #4, a story which also features the origin and only appearance of Ultimate Lizard. It's decent, but it doesn't really explain anything at all about who or what Man-Thing is. He just shows up, burns the Lizard and leaves.

She went on to appear in two team books, The Legion of Night, created and written by Gerber and partially composed of several other Gerber-created supporting cast members such as Martin Gold and Dr. Katherine Reynolds, and Bronwyn Carlton and Bryan Walsh's Witches in which she teamed with Satana the Devil's Daughter and Topaz under the tutelage of Doctor Strange.

Now, while the build and sculpt of the main frame are both impressive, some of the best work of this figure comes in the TWO heads, and the swappable hands. Now, the brows aren’t quite as prominent as I would prefer, and one head has teeth showing, which is normally a no-no for me, but damn it, both heads have so much personality, it is hard not to love them. My default will be the closed mouth version as it has that brooding Ben Grimm look that I love, but for action shots, I am surprisingly perfectly fine with the teeth, and the ferociousness they bring out in the expression. The blue eyes are, of course, very important, and they look great on both heads. Hey, it is good to have options. The Champions encounter a Man-Thing that lives in Mbali, Tanzania.
