This Super Hero Adventures Mega Mighties Thanos was really intended for small children, but it's oversized features and simplified styling reminds me of an import vinyl or designer toy. Playskool produced several other characters in this line, such as Iron Man, Spider-Man, Capt. Marvel, and Black Panther, as well as some Star Wars and Power Rangers figures, but this Thanos is unique among them. If an extra hand and/or head were included, Playskool could triple the price and call it a designer vinyl. While I've little interest in most the others, I compulsively picked this up at Big Lots for ten bucks- a larger figure and better play value than your average Funko POP...
The obvious comparison to these Playskool Mega Mighties would be the Fisher-Price DC Imaginext XL figures, also measuring in at 10 inches. Thanos has a waist swivel, traded for hip articulation in the DC XL figures, and enjoys a ball joint under his head for a little more expression. Otherwise, they are very similar, with swivel wrists and swivel/hinge shoulders. Below, the Imaginext XL Batman in Bat-Tech Blue from my last post...
