Taking dodge into account, it means a good 20 swings before he gets there. A fight like this could drag on.
Thanks. The extra durability was intentional since being a brick is what he does and I even further penalized his move/dodge. I wanted him to be able to stay in fights a long time or even be able to do go from one fight to another without a problem. If it's too much you could easily drop IT:DR, but I suspect he'll take little bits of damage here. His speed and active defenses aren't that impressive, so he'll spend a lot time either lifting (for throwing) or doing AoA (Double, Strong, and Determined are all good for him).

If the Thing grabs something like a car and swings that instead, using AoA: Determined for a +4, he will do swing dmg (thr+2 or 8d+2) with say another +4 for the weapon (effectively a big 2hd maul). I'd also let him blow a fatigue point to add another +2 dmg making the total 8d+10, or 38 which does a more respectable 9 points per hit, or 18 if you drop IT:DR.
