The Toyark › Horror Toy News › The Thing 1/6 Scale Figures Officially Announced by Pop Culture Shock

The Thing 1/6 Scale Figures Officially Announced by Pop Culture Shock

Posted on November 1, 2015 at 7:51 pm by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News

Way back in February, Pop Culture Shock teased a 1/6 Scale R.J. MacReady Figure from John Carpenter’s The Thing. After the initial tease, we didn’t hear anything. they never showed the prototype at any conventions ,and never mentioned it again. Then, earlier this evening, the Pop Culture Shock newsletter came in. It contained the usual updates. Pre-order this, shipping dates on that, etc. I didn’t think there was going to be anything of note. Then, at the very end, they dropped a new preview image…The Thing 1/6 Scale Figures are coming in 2016! A new, shadowy photo of MacReady figure was included with the announcement. As a huge fan of this movie, I’ll be following this closely. We’ll have more as it becomes available.

See the preview after the jump.

    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.
