Thanos (Infinity War) (Green Chrome)

The Thanos figure, numbered 289 in the Pop! Marvel series, was released to coincide with the 2018 premiere of Avengers: Infinity War. As the central antagonist of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's third phase, Thanos became a cultural focal point for Funko, leading to various iterations of the character. This specific Green Chrome variant was produced as a specialty store exclusive, designed to offer a stylized, metallic aesthetic that deviated from the standard screen-accurate paint applications typically found in the main line.

The design of the Pop! line is characterized by its signature oversized head and simplified, minimalist features, an aesthetic established by Funko to evoke nostalgia while maintaining a uniform look across vast intellectual properties. The Green Chrome finish was a popular trend during this period of Funko's production, aimed at collectors seeking 'chase' style or limited-edition variants. The item was well-received by fans of the franchise who sought to complete their display sets with unique colorways of the primary villain.
