This box set just arrived from SOTA Toys. A HUGE thanks to Jed Haigh at SOTA for sending Outpost #31 this la-*test*-('") THING figure. Haven't opened it up yet but it looks sweet indeed - pics and review soon. (See updated Mainpage News for a new photo of this figure still in the box!)

This box set is AWESOME! SOTA did a great job on this and every THING fan should scoop one up - this sells for only $25 USD. Worth every penny. The detail on this figure is just incredible, Mac looks great, and the Kennel-Thing looks super and includes two sled dogs seen in the film; one wrapped entirely in tentacles and the dog that gets shot. There are 4 posable tentacles (Mac is posable as well) and the kennel makes a nice backdrop, the screen door actually closes. Great work from SOTA and compliments the incredible Norris Spider-Head that was released last Fall. All I can think now is hope that SOTA does another THING figure (Norwegian-Thing complete with shovel, sheet, and cans of Karosin) Hint, Hint.
Pics soon...
