Thanos is a genocidal warlord from the planet Titan who sought to collect all six Infinity Stones to wipe out half of all life in the universe to restore balance, serving as the primary antagonist of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Infinity Saga.
Design Notes
Notable for scaling Thanos down from a bulky 'big-fig' to a standard minifigure by utilizing a unique helmet mold to give him his signature height and head shape relative to other heroes.
History
First introduced in 2019 for the Avengers: Endgame wave, shifting LEGO's design philosophy for the character from specialized big-figs to standard minifigures with specialized headgear.
Interesting Facts
This version allowed Thanos to finally pilot vehicles and mechs designed for standard minifigures, unlike his earlier big-fig iterations which could not fit into standard LEGO vehicle seats.

Moderate collectibility as a main MCU villain, highly popular among Avengers fans completing their Endgame display lineups.
Similar Minifigures
