Rarity
Uncommon. While exclusive to one specific set (the 2023 Advent Calendar), these sets are mass-produced seasonally, making the figure accessible but only through a limited-time product.
Head
Medium Lavender head with red eyes and an angry/grimacing expression showing white teeth. Features the character's signature vertical chin grooves. It includes a Pearl Gold helmet with a unique mold designed specifically for the character's head shape.
Torso
Dark Blue torso with Pearl Gold and lighter blue printing representing his comic-inspired armor. The print continues to the back. Features Dark Blue arms and Pearl Gold hands.
Legs
Dark Blue legs with Pearl Gold and lighter blue armor plating prints on the front of the hips and legs. No side printing.
Accessories
Includes a Pearl Gold helmet (Part 78643). In the original set context, he is often paired with a buildable Infinity Gauntlet or a double-bladed sword, though the figure itself only wears the helmet.
Color Scheme
A striking combination of Dark Blue, Medium Lavender (skin), and Pearl Gold (armor). This palette is hehigh-contrast and pays homage to the classic Marvel Comics appearance.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, front torso, back torso, and front legs. The alignment of the gold armor plates between the torso and hips is a key detail to check.
Variants
This is the 'minifigure' scale version of Thanos. Variants include the 'BigFig' versions from Infinity War and Endgame, the 'Short-Leg' version from Mighty Micros (sh363), and the version from the 2021 Advent Calendar (sh776).
Condition Notes
The Pearl Gold helmet is prone to surface scratches. Check for 'neck cracks' on the Dark Blue torso and ensure the gold printing on the legs hasn't faded from friction.
Estimated Value
Current market value is approximately $5.00 - $8.00 USD for a used complete figure and $9.00 - $12.00 USD for a new/unassembled figure.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 76267 LEGO Marvel Avengers Advent Calendar, which retailed for $44.99 USD. The price-per-minifigure is shared across 7 figures in that set.

Character Background
Thanos, the Mad Titan, is a primary antagonist in the Marvel Universe. This specific look reflects his classic comic book aesthetics rather than his movie appearances, emphasizing his search for the Infinity Stones.
Design Notes
This figure is notable for being a standard minifigure scale rather than a BigFig. It uses the newer helmet mold introduced to allow Thanos to fit into standard vehicles and playsets.
Similar Minifigures
Thanos (sh776) from the 2021 Advent Calendar, which has a different armor pattern, and the Thanos BigFig (sh504) from the Infinity War sets.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a must-have for Marvel completionists who want every version of Thanos, particularly those building 'hall of villains' displays where BigFigs may not fit.
History
For years, Thanos was exclusively a BigFig. Starting in 2021, LEGO began producing standard minifigure versions to increase playability and include him in smaller price-point sets.
Interesting Facts
Despite his power, this minifigure version is the same height as an ordinary LEGO civilian, making him appear much less intimidating than his 2018 BigFig counterpart.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Avengers team or on a custom 'Throne of Thanos.' It looks best when placed next to the buildable Infinity Gauntlet accessory from the same advent calendar.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; the head and helmet are often used to create custom comic-accurate versions of other cosmic Marvel entities.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-printed minifigure that captures the essence of the character in a compact form. Highly recommended for fans of the Infinity Saga who missed out on the larger, more expensive sets.
