Thanos: Ultimate Battle

Released in 2018, this LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set was designed to coincide with the cinematic release of Avengers: Infinity War. It depicts the Guardians of the Galaxy's ship, the Benatar, engaged in a conflict against Thanos, capturing the high-stakes confrontation on Titan. The set was engineered to provide playability through its opening cockpit and detachable escape pod, serving as a flagship entry in the Marvel theme that year.

The set was primarily noted by fans and critics for its inclusion of the Thanos bigfig, which offered a distinct and articulated representation of the character that differed from standard minifigures. The design team sought to balance the ship's complex aesthetic with functional interior space, leading to a generally favorable reception among builders who appreciated the combination of a significant antagonist character model and a recognizable vessel from the film.
