Chronicle Collectibles - John Carpenter's The Thing
 

The only problem with doing a figure like this is what version from what scene do you make a toy out of? Do you do Nauls with the head and spider legs? Do you do Palmer from the couch scene? Norris from the operating table? Bennings mid-trasformation? The Thing at the end when MacCready has to blow up the base?

They didn't necessarily say figures tho. Chronicle, first and foremost is a statue/bust/replica company. While they did reveal 1/6 scale figures for some lines at SDCC, Pop Culture Shock is doing The Thing figures in 7" and 1/6 scale. So my guess are mainly going to be replicas and statues/busts.

When Drew Struzan got the call for this poster the deadline was so tight that when it arrived there was parts of the poster that were still wet! I loved the movie and there are plenty of ideas for figures, but Id like to see them expand on the prequel sequel whatever thing...pun intended. I watched a featurette on the film its sad that they replaced all the creepy awesome pratical effect with digital creatures.

Either way, which version of the thing are they doing?
