THING Figure by Dark Horse Comics
The Space Thing Figure by DARK HORSE COMICS The Space Thing Figure by DARK HORSE COMICSDesigned by Pete Von Sholly, this monster is his conception of John W. Campbell’s famous shape-changing alien from the legendary story called “Who Goes There?” He designed the creature during a fact-finding research junket to Alpha Centauri, and, thanks to his new 4-D camera, was able to incorporate details not found in our solar system. Pete’s talented wife, Andrea, sculpted and painted the model. The figure is conveniently small (approximately 4.5”), pre-painted, and easy to pop together with a great-looking display box inspired by the monster model–making company, Aurora, that was big in the ‘60s. 3/10/2006 (Price: $17.99) http://www.toydirectory.com/monthly/article.asp?id=1894 For those of you who are hardcore THING Fans, the kind that dig into the source material with a vengeance, and who have discovered the realm of the sci-fi pulps, H.P.

http://www.tfaw.com/Profile/The-Space-Thing-Figure___198411 I ordered 5 today. I hope they are still in stock...

Sweet, thanks for posting that link - I just ordered one as well. I've had my eye on this figure for awhile, got it for $13 USD total! T

Just read that it's 4½ inches tall. I thought it was larger, but I'd still love to score one. I just might.

Got all 5 today. I didn't realize that it had human faces and hands emerging from it. Though it stands less than 5 inches tall, it has quite a presence with its 4 appendages. It is the perfect size for display. Very very cool! And at $4.00 USD per, you simply can't beat the price.

Oh that looks and sounds so awesome, I must get one.

Got mine today. It looks even better than the pics, nice addition to a THING collection. Now I gotta read Who Goes There? again... Added to the Outpost #31 Collection & Archive: http://www.outpost31.com/todd/collection.htm T
