Marvel Select: Thanos 2016 Package Redesign
posted Dec 26, 2016, 9:07 AM by Vu Nguyen [ updated Dec 26, 2016, 9:33 AM ]
The Marvel Select: Thanos
figure got a package redesigned. The packaging is copyrighted 2016 on
the back of the box (the figure was originally released in November
2005).
The new changes includes minor changes like the "Select" logo in front. The back got a reduced image of INFINITY GAUNTLET #4 (Oct 1991) Marvel Comics
and noticeably the sculptor's name, Phil Ramirez, was removed. The
changes were probably done around September 1, 2015, based on the
metadata images uploaded on Diamond's website.
Image on the right is the 2016 package.
Update: According to Diamond's archive, the figure was listed for June 2016.

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.
(excerpt)
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.
