Instant buy. Love the film and never expected NECA to make this. Figured if anyone would, it would have been Amok Time. But damn it, I want The Thing figures. You can't tell me that's too obscure and then do a figure from The Fog.

Seriously, I don't get why it's so hard! PCS has stopped answering questions about thier Macready so it's pretty much assumed they cancelled it, but The Thing would be a better seller than ReAnimator or Fog figures... I thibk when Randy says something is too obscure that's code for "we don't wanna bother with it"

Agreed, I have all the Movie Maniacs Thing figures but I would love to upgrade! I wish Jerry Maculoso or whatever his name is at PCS would just flat-out say whether it is or isn't happening so they could let other people take a stab at it :P I dunno if they own the exclusive rights to make Thing toys or what though haha

This might be one of the most out of nowhere surprise figures we've seen from neca. Anything classic John Carpenter has my attention, but I have to see the final product to know if I'll get it. After the disastrous quality of their Snake Plissken figure, I've stayed away from the retro cloth mego style figures.
That being said, I like that NECA is trying to make figures that you would never expect, and Blake here does look nice. My only gripe would be that he's lacking when it comes to accessories. Would have been cool to include the gold cross. I also agree, there are other Carpenter movies that we'd love to have figures from, but for one reason or another they aren't happening - the thing, big trouble in little china, they live. Just to name a few. |

Currently streaming on Shudder (fantastic inexpensive streaming service that's nothing but Horror/Sci-Fi). I use JustWatch.com to check where movies may be streaming:
https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-fog but that cast, tho. hadn't heard of shudder, so I'll check that out! thanks, joe. |

Shudder has a free trial. If you use Roku, they also play 3-4 free movies at a time as a broadcast.

Frankly, I'd cream if NECA made a full set of the entire Outpost 31 crew ala their Hateful Eight set. It'll never happen, but how awesome would THAT be? Last edited by Dolemite; 04-16-2018 at 11:51 AM.. |

He said today he's been working Universal, who owns most of the Carpenter properties, to do a big licensing deal for all that stuff. That was a deal I know he's been working on (perhaps off and on) for at least a few years.

Ooohhhh I really hope that pans out, I'd kill for a NECA 7" Macready (Hell, I'd even take a clothed 8" one!)

This figure is really awesome! Definitely out of nowhere, this is what got me into NECA so many years ago. Obscure figures, especially Cult Classics and Horror Movies.
I too hope for “The Thing” figures, at least a mego of Mac with a spider head dude. Always wanted an “American Werewolf in London” wolf as well. Probably PCS at fault here, they still have the rights most likely. |
