For The Thinker's design, it had a basis to start from: a bulbous head with electrodes, vacuum tubes, and other devices sticking out of it. Shane Mahan says that there was a lot of discussion among the Legacy Effects team about how to achieve the character's distinctive look. Referring to the electrodes and other head protuberances, Shane makes it clear, "You can't just shave a guy's head and glue them on and expect them not to fall off or be knocked off. It doesn't work that way." For the Thinker's bulbous head, a silicone prosthetic piece was created that ran across Peter Capaldi's eyebrows, into the crow's feet, and above his ears. To fit under this, a rigid reusable skull cap was built. "Peter graciously cut his hair as short as possible, and we made a very thin cap for him to wear under the silicone prosthetic. Scott Patton and Greg Smith digitally modeled these multifaceted little complex lighting systems that had little screws and magnets that you could put in. Those were all mounted to the reusable skull cap through the silicone headpiece." Shane says that hiding the power source for the Thinker's electrodes posed a challenge, "There's no place to hide a wire." In contrast, David Dastmalchian's Polka-Dot Man had shaggy hair, "so we could run wires under the skin into his backpack. But Thinker's got a clean silhouette." He says Legacy Effects digital concept artist Scott Patton came up with a system for concealing the batteries inside the electrodes themselves to allow for easy replacement. Legacy Effects would also create a younger Thinker makeup for a flashback scene with fewer probes sticking out of his head. Shane credits Matt Sprunger and his team for applying the makeup on set.
