May 30, 2022 by Amie Cranswick

NECA has unveiled its 2022 Convention Exclusive The Thing figure, which marks the 40th anniversary of John Carpenter’s 1982 horror by bringing to life the film’s iconic poster artwork. Check out the official promotional images here…

From The Thing, John Carpenter’s acclaimed slow-build horror film classic! It follows a 12-man research team that finds something in the Antarctic Circle that’s been waiting for over 100,000 years. Recreating the original and iconic poster art for the theatrical run, this special deco figure stands approximately 7 inches tall and features an LED light in the head and interchangeable and removable faceplates to create the poster’s signature burst of light. In display friendly 5th panel window box packaging styled after the movie poster.
