It's cancelin' time!

• Thing (Marvel, 2010)

The Thing was to have been a retool of the Hulk with a new head, transforming from an orange and blue robot into a bulldozer. This toy was presented by Hasbro during San Diego Comic-Con 2009, but failed to materialize at retail.

It's feasible that Thing was the intended use of this mold; the robot mode of the Hulk is riddled with crack details which are a physical feature of Thing. Additionally, molded details on the figures waist that seem to be for a Fantastic 4 logo are left flat and empty on Hulk.

Seeing as how the Hulk's head sculpt is a reuse of the sculpt from the first Hulk toy, Hasbro likely changed the toy from Thing to the more popular Hulk character.
