After numerous teasers where we have gotten a few glimpses, Pop Culture Shock is finally ready to reveal their John Carpenter’s The Thing 1/6 Scale Figures. In this weeks newsletter, they revealed that the first figures will make their debut at Wondercon 2016. The show runs from March 25th through the 27th.
Horror-meister John Carpenter (Haloween, Escape From New York) teams Kurt Russell’s outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling version of the classic The Thing. In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Once unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and becomes one of them.
We know that they have been prepping a Norris Spider-Head Creature as well as R.J. MacReady. We’ve seen them in various stages of creation. No word on if this will be the extent of the reveals, or if they will debut further figures from the line. We’ll update as more info hits. For now, you can check out an updated image of the Norris Spider-Head Creature by clicking the image above.
Preview of Pop Culture Shock R.J. MacReady Figure from The Thing
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.
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.
The Thing 1/6 Scale Figures Officially Announced by Pop Culture Shock - The Toyark - News
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.
This is awesome news! Just hope I can afford them.

Hell yes!
So "figures" it is, then!
"You gotta be fuckin' kidding?!" -Palmer
I'm too giddy at this development.
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*
Did they cancel it already?

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.

PCS Toys - The Thing 1/6 Scale MacReady Cancelled - The Toyark - News
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.
