Preorder when????
Also, Joe, you would know more than I: once a figure's been shown off like this, there's no cancelling right? No last minute changes of heart that might get in the way?

But I don't think they would show this one off without having all their ducks in a row. The licensing issues with this property were very problematic for the last few years. So I'm guessing they worked with everyone very closely to ensure no problems pop up.

Unfortunately, it could still potentially be cancelled if some issue arises. Remember, they've shown off numerous figures in the past, and even opened up pre-orders for them, only to cancel them after an issue arose. Recent examples are the Toony Terrors NES Jason & Freddy, and the Jaws Chief Brody.

Same here. I literally teared up when it popped in my timeline. Something I had completely given up hope on.

Bravo NECA! It’s been a long while since NECA unveiled a license that left me speechless. This is huge news! Keith David’s Childs character is a must! Now the only question is how they will tackle the creatures of this film.
I’m thinking a couple deluxe creatures like Norris-Thing and Palmer-Thing and maybe a creature pack with the Spider-Thing and the Dog-Thing would suffice. |

Holy hell Yesssssss. Never thought this would happen. I watch The Thing every year in October, so psyched! I won't even be greedy and ask for anything else.

Seeing people on Instagram and Twitter bag on the likeness, it's not Hot Toys level but I think it's fine? The unpainted heads really show off how good the sculpt is haha

Yeah, the painting is just a bit off. But I need to see it in hand to really judge it.

Finally! And for their next trick; Escape from New York, Big Trouble in Little China & Memoirs of an Invisible Man - because why not? Anyway, hope there's a Childs too, really could less for the alien.

I assume there'll be a second Macready with a flamethrower, unless this is a super deluxe release haha. I'll take him in his T shirt/ undershirt as well, hell, any variant of him really!

That said, I think the likeness looks good but could be enhanced a little by better paint. |
