Adults can wear them?

Sort of. Not as comfortably worn as the Hulk Hands, but they’ll fit if you try hard enough.

Marvel just announced a new Thing comic, so this is cool. Although I think movie Thing looks like the Toxic Avenger.

Who else could seriously get the hands/feet treatment? These are who I think of:

Iron Man
Submariner-he's does have those wings on his feet.
Beast
Abomination-There is going to be a Hulk 2.
Blob-X-men villain
Juggernaut
A few Spidey villains-Lizard & Rhino in particular
Collosus
Thor- Hands with Hammer
Man-Thing- Movie debuts on Sci-Fi in April
Kingpin
She-Hulk- Girls should have some fun also

Probably a few others.

They fit up to a size 5? Wow Matt, you must have some tiny feet to fit into those, even if they are a really tight fit. Do they make those feet in larger sizes too?

This is the first comment I’ve made here, ever since I spent 17 straight hours reading the photog blog, getting to the end, and finding out that the comments had been cut off like two weeks before.

I can’t believe you don’t have a picture of you wearing the hulk-hands AND the thing feet.

That is all. End transmission.

Ah, I see. I should have read the article first. I assumed they were glorified plastic shoes, not glorified plastic shoe-covers. If it's open bottom, I can understand the stretch factor here. But, considering I have Hulkish feet like Peggy Hill (I'm about size 13, and I'm not even tall), I'd probably just be better off painting my own feet orange.

Anyway, I downloaded an early clip of the Thing and a truck in January, and, while I wasn't that impressed with the way the Thing looked in the set photos from Toronto I saw last summer, in action, he looks much better. And I do like that the Thing mainly is a guy in rocky makeup, which I'm sure will be enhanced by CGI, but the character is still a lot more "practical" than computer-generated, and, as such, won't across as being a character straight out of Shrek walking around a live-action world like the all-CGI Hulk two years ago.

Considering that I like a good dose of comic relief in my superhero movies as I find the entire concept of superheroes to be inherently camp, I'm honestly looking forward to Fantastic 4 more than Batman Begins, which I'm fearing will be aimed at the hardcore Miller-era "Dark Knight" purists who almost literally can't take a joke, at least in their Batman comics. While I fully admit that the two Schumacher Batman films overdosed on the comic relief, I thought the two Tim Burton Batman films masterfully balanced the dark and the light. I think if you make it too dark, then you just get pretentious goth-fests like The Crow. I have no fear whatsoever that the Fantastic 4 movie will be too "dark".

I’d never even SEEN the Fantastic Four until I caught the 60s cartoon on Boomerang during a visit to the parents’ house a few years ago. I instantly fell in love with Thing. I like big men to begin with, and here was a big man who not only had a heart of gold and a chest the size of Canada, but just about everything ELSE made of solid rock - and even in the somewhat corny 60s era show, he came across as a nice guy. If I do see "The Fantastic Four" this summer, I’ll be there just to see what they do with Thing.
