Figure ID
sh504
Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2018 (Released with the 'Avengers: Infinity War' wave)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While mass-produced in a standard retail set, its restriction to a high-price point set and the presence of the Infinity Gauntlet accessories makes it highly sought after.
Head
Medium Lilac (purple) face printed on the unified BigFig head-torso-shoulder piece with a menacing expression and glowing blue eyes. It features a Pearl Gold helmet with detailed etched ridge lines.
Torso
Dark Blue BigFig torso with elaborate Pearl Gold and Medium Lilac armor printing. Features detailed abdominal plating and a large Pearl Gold chest plate that extends over the shoulders (epaulettes).
Legs
Dark Blue BigFig lower body with integrated Pearl Gold boots. The legs are part of the static molded base typical of the modern BigFig era.
Accessories
A large-scale Infinity Gauntlet in Pearl Gold (Part 36458), fitted onto the left hand. This assembly includes six colored Infinity Stones: Power (Purple), Time (Green), Reality (Red), Soul (Orange), Mind (Yellow), and Space (Blue).
Color Scheme
Dark Blue and Pearl Gold primary colors with Medium Lilac accents, mimicking the 'Infinity War' cinematic appearance.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the face, chest, and belt areas. The alignment is generally excellent, following the contours of the oversized musculature of the BigFig mold.
Variants
This is the armored version (sh504). Other variants include the tan-vest version (sh463) and the 'Endgame' version with a double-bladed sword (sh576).
Condition Notes
Monitor for scratches on the Pearl Gold surface of the helmet and boots, as these show wear easily. The Infinity Stones are tiny and frequently lost; check the hand-clip for stress marks.
Estimated Value
$15 - $25 (Used Complete), $30 - $40 (New/Mint). Values vary based on whether all six Infinity Stones are included.
Price (New)
Original Set (76107 Thorne's Ultimate Battle) retailed for $69.99 USD.

Character Background
The Mad Titan and primary antagonist of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Infinity Saga. He seeks the six Infinity Stones to wipe out half of all life to achieve universal balance.
Design Notes
This figure marked a significant upgrade in metallic printing for BigFigs. The use of a specialized hand-held gauntlet rather than a printed hand was a major innovation for playability and stone collection.

Collectibility
High. This remains the definitive 'armored' movie version of the character and is essential for Marvel MCU collectors due to the Gauntlet.
History
First introduced in 2012 as a comic-style figure, the MCU version evolved from a simple purple giant to this highly detailed armored version released during the peak of the Infinity War hype.
Interesting Facts
While the figure appears in 76107, you actually had to buy four other sets in the 2018 wave to collect every single Infinity Stone color to complete the Gauntlet.
Display Suggestions
Display on a stand surrounded by his 'children' (the Black Order) or facing off against Iron Man and Doctor Strange. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent the lilac plastic from fading.
Modification Potential
Common modifications include swapping the left hand for a standard hand for a 'pre-gauntlet' look or adding custom cloth capes to match early comic appearances.
Overall Assessment
Rating: 9/10. A standout LEGO Marvel figure that perfectly captures the scale and menace of the movie villain. A must-have for any Avengers fan.
