Mondo has unveiled a new action figure of Kurt Russell's The Thing's character, R.J. MacReady, complete with his iconic flamethrower.
The Big Picture Although Halloween is over, collecting horror action figures is a year round hobby. So many companies like Funko and NECA have released a ton of amazing pieces that have left genre fans screaming. However, Mondo has officially entered the frigid ring to take the crown as they’ve just unveiled their newest figure of Kurt Russell’s R.J. MacReady from John Carpenter's horror masterpiece The Thing.
While The Thing was panned by critics and overshadowed by Steven Spielberg’s E.T. when it was initially released in 1982, the Carpenter remake has since rightfully been reappraised as the masterpiece it is. The film just celebrated its 40th anniversary last year. With that came a few new stylish NECA figures based on not only Russell, but The Thing’s iconic poster.
When collectors buy figures they look for how well it represents the film it’s based on, the quality of the piece, and if it has a meaningful accessories list. Mondo’s MacReady figure checks all those boxes and then some. The horror genre is as hot as ever which has only affected the collector’s market. Horror fans are craving merchandise for their favorite films. There’s no best horror list without The Thing and that fact is going to make this beautiful figure a high priority for collectors.
