Pop Culture Shock: John Carpenter's The Thing

[Violator66]

I understand your frustration...... I remember looking for pics when sdcc was I'm full effect ...... But nothing came out...... I can't give up on finally having a mcready, he's pretty much up there at the top of my list with mcfly, guardians of the galaxy, snake and a few others. I just thought they would have some kind of prototype for us to see at least.

I've been on to Jerry a few times. His whole mantra is 'it'll be ready when it's ready' so if you think SS or HT are slow, get ready for a new definition of the word.

He said before that the costuming was causing them problems, same with the Sons of Anarchy figures. He has hired people that worked for HT to refine them for release. The Mac figure was meant to be shown at Wondercon in April, then SDCC, then NYCC, now it's next year. I've lost any interest in it, will forget about it until it pops up randomly.

Sucks it's taking so long, but at least he's going the right way about it. Especially with the SOA figures. Rather wait for good product, instead of receiving oversized dollie clothes.

[Listrek]

Nice,creepy as it should be!

This needs to happen. If nothing else, maybe Sideshow's Cult Classics line will get it done.

posted couple more pics..

Cool! Can we see a closer look at his face?? When I receive the painted head I will post my custom Macready finished too.

If I were you I would make him wear a not so tight jacket and try to weather it. Also I like him more with gloved hands.

I will post more. I have bendable hands with black gloves they aren't that good at all, I need sculpted hands. The jacket that's the closet I can find for now. It's not that bad considering he is wearing a hoodie underneath . I seen some Macready where the jacket is so tight and fat. I still working on him i'm happy so far

The jacket is weathered, just can't see much from the light.
