After we shared word that The Thing – 1/6 Scale R.J. MacReady was no longer being produced, many fans had wondered the fate of the 7″ scale horror figures from Pop Culture Shock Collectibles. Thanks to some tips from Toyark forum member muffinhunter, we can quickly clarify the status of those figures. According to PCS Toys, the 7″ scale The Thing and An American Werewolf in London figures are still on track for production. According to posts by PCS Toys on Statue Forum and Movie Maniacs, they are currently slated to go up for pre-order via the PCS Webs Store around Halloween 2017. The plan is to only offer them for pre-order once they are close to final production on them. The current slate of figures is as follows:
The Thing
- R.J. MacReady with Norris Spider Head Creature
An American Werewolf in London
- Kessler Wolf
- David Kessler
- Jack Goodman
- “Meatloaf” Jack Goodman
We’ve rounded up a few photos of the figures to refresh your memory. Read on to check them out.
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!

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.
