Preview of Pop Culture Shock R.J. MacReady Figure from The Thing

Posted on February 25, 2015 at 9:49 am by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News

John Carpenter’s The Thing is my #1 all-time favorite film. Sadly, most toy companies have shied away from collectibles based on the property recently. Back in 2013, Pop Culture Shock teased the license acquisition for The Thing, but we’ve heard nothing since. Thankfully, the folks over at Itakon.it have broken that silence and posted a photo showing the in-progress sculpt for a collectible based on Kurt Russell’s R.J. MacReady. Even better is that they claim this will be for a 1/6 scale figure and not a statue!

The sculpt is still very early in development. We’ll update when more images and info becomes available. Read on to see the image.

    I was pretty disappointed with Sideshow's Snake Plissken final product. I hope PCS can deliver on this. I've wanted a MacReady for a long time.

    Same here. I actually really dig the NECA Snake Plissken. The likeness IMO is really good!
    It's well worth the $25.

    This PCS MacReady is definitely in it's early stages. Not feeling this head sculpt quite yet. The beard is(surprisingly)too short. Kurt had a huge beard when he played MacReady. Jim Morrison like. Great character! I look forward to seeing the final product.

    Oh man, this is INCREDIBLE. I can't wait to see the final product, as this is far and away my favorite horror movie.

    I'll do whatever I can to grab the figure if and when it comes out. PCS has teased 1/6 scale figure a bunch of different times, but none have made it to production (at least not yet), so I'm not sure what price point they're going for.

    Got bored of the 1/6 scale format years ago, but totally up for another classic Carpenter character! And totally happy with Sideshow's Plissken, just needed a little weathering on the jacket. Bring on MacReady!

    Odd that it says "figures" and not "figure." Does that mean they're making other characters as well? I haven't heard about anything other than MacReady.

    I sure hope so. Perhaps a few of the Things. Norris, Palmer, Blair Monster would all be welcome.

    Goddamnit I HATE that spider-head. I've seen The Thing at least thousand times (easily one of the greatest movies of all time) and it still creeps me right the **** out. *shudders*

    They haven't offered it yet, or fully revealed anything. They're still posting sculpted teasers ontheir Instagram. Nothing worth really sharing yet outside of the Norris Spider-Head.

    Looking good. I can't wait for the full MacReady reveal...it feels like this line has been in development forever.

    BTW, just to illustrate how much my girlfriend and I love The Thing, we just got a new kitten and named him "R.J."

    Damn that Norris head looks nice. Too bad I don't collect 1/6.

    If only Neca could do this too.

    I hope when you picked your cat out you whispered in his ear "If we've got any surprises for each other, I don't think we're in much shape to do anything about it"

    Not surprised, but still bummed.

    Really? Ugh. What the heck happened?

    I seriously hope those 7" figures make it out, but it's seeming more and more unlikely. SOTA already canceled that American Werewolf set once, now PCS will carry on the tradition.
