Rarity
Uncommon. This is one of the few standard-size minifigure versions of Thanos, who is typically depicted as a 'Big-Fig'.
Head
Medium Lavender with red eyes, angry expression (showing teeth), and chin ridges. It features dual-sided printing with a more neutral but grimacing secondary expression.
Torso
Dark Blue with gold armor printing on front and back. Features dark bluish gray arms and pearl gold hands. Printing depicts the Infinity War era breastplate and belt.
Legs
Dark Blue legs with gold and dark bluish gray armor plating print on the front and hips.
Accessories
In its original set (76107), this figure is designed to interact with the Infinity Gauntlet accessory, though the figure itself did not come with a weapon, as the Gauntlet was the centerpiece of the wave.
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Blue and Medium Lavender skin tone, accented with Pearl Gold armor and Dark Bluish Gray mechanical details.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso, and legs. No arm or side-leg printing, which is standard for most 2018 non-exclusive Marvel figures.
Variants
Variants include the 'Big-Fig' versions (sh092, sh230, sh489) and the newer 'Mech-armor' versions (sh613). This specific figure (sh504) is the first standard-scale version based on the MCU film design.
Condition Notes
Prone to minor torso cracks at the sides over time. The gold printing on the legs can wear thin if played with heavily on rough surfaces.
Estimated Value
Used: $8 - $12 USD. New (extracted from set): $14 - $18 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of the MCU.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 76107 which retailed for $69.99 USD in 2018.

Character Background
The 'Mad Titan' during the events of Avengers: Infinity War. He is seeking the six Infinity Stones to wipe out half of all life in the universe.
Design Notes
LEGO chose a standard minifigure scale for this set so he could fit inside the cockpit of his ship, despite the character being much larger than a human in the films.
Similar Minifigures
Darkseid (sh152) because of the similar 'villain head' mold style and color pallet; other 'Short' Thanos variants like sh613.
Collectibility
Moderate. Collectors of 'The Infinity Saga' often want this version for display inside vehicles where the Big-Fig is too large to fit.
History
Follows the evolution from the early comic-style Big-Fig in 2014 to the more detailed MCU-accurate versions released between 2018 and 2021.
Interesting Facts
The headpiece on this figure is actually a separate helmet-like element that fits over a standard head stud, but it is treated as a solid head unit in modern LEGO parts databases.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Big-Fig version to show scale variation, or place him in the cockpit of the Benatar or his own ship from set 76107.
Modification Potential
The head is a popular part for MOC (My Own Creations) builders creating custom large-scale characters or different versions of Titans.
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed representation of the character's most iconic film appearance. While not as imposing as the Big-Fig version, the printing is sharp and it is essential for completionists.
