That is the SDCC version. It was supposed to have black eyes but Brian did them blue; however, he did make a very few with black eyes.

Exactly. He's not called the Ever-Lovin, Blue-Eyed Thing for his black eyes!

From the pics, it now sounds like Brian wanted to make the metallic SDCC Thing with black eyes, but Marvel insisted that he go with the traditional blue.

Yeah, the box with the flying metallic Freddy monkey got left under the table and never put out. It was discovered there during clean-up.

It's hard to tell since many of the photos are of the Funko artwork/pics. Mine are put away, but from Ebay it looks like the regular Thing has black eyes and the SDCC metallic has blue eyes.

Nope. It was the other way. Marvel wanted black and Brian went Blue.

But that's the one that was made. If there's a metallic Thing with black eyes, then that's the unproduced rare one.
