John Carpenter’s The Thing – Ultimate R.J. MacReady Outpost 31 Version by NECA – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on May 26, 2021 at 4:09 pm by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

The Thing MacReady Outpost 31 NECA 001030

Over the years, there have been a few official product releases based on John Carpenter’s The Thing. Right away, the McFarlane Toys Movie Maniacs, and the SOTA MacReady in Kennel box set come to mind. However, licensing issues cropped up over the last five or so years, causing items to be cancelled and making it difficult for collectible companies to properly license the film. A few different companies, notably Pop Culture Shock (new Premium Collectibles Studio) and the now defunct Chronicle Collectibles, have tried to release new products. Like many horror fans, I hold this film in very high regard, even writing an article back in 2019 talking about how the film needed new collectibles. The film is a visual feast, with some of the best practical creature effects that have ever been put on film.

As I previously wrote, in the film R.J. MacReady is a helicopter pilot for Outpost 31, an American research station in Antarctica during the winter of 1982. When their camp is seemingly attacked by a Norwegian pilot chasing a dog, Mac heads up to the Norwegian Research station with Doctor Copper to find out what is going on. Once there, the pair find a burned and twisted body that they bring back to Outpost 31. Little did they know, this creature and the dog they took in, are both shape shifting aliens that can imitate any life form perfectly. Now the research team must determine who is human, and who is The Thing before they are all wiped out, and the creature finds its way civilization.

Earlier this year, NECA shocked horror fans with the announcement of an Ultimate R.J. MacReady Figure from The Thing. The figure, titled the “Outpost 31” version, is hopefully the first in a long line of releases from the film. The MacReady figure is officially set to make it’s debut this Father’s Day weekend (June 20th), however, the figure has started to hit shelves early. The figure will initially be available at Target stores, but will see a wider general release about 30 days after it’s official street date. Since the figure is now showing up, I’ve been given the go ahead to share my photo gallery of the R.J. MacReady “Outpost 31″ Ultimate 7” Scale Figure. The figure was provided by our friends at NECA. Check out my review and full photo gallery by reading on.
