NECA are gearing up for a number of new action figures to release Father's Day 2021 in the US. This includes the highly anticipated R.J. MacReady Ultimate figure from the 1982 classic, The Thing.
The Ultimate release of MacReady will feature three heads, his hat, goggles, glasses, lantern, a bottle of scotch with a shot glass, and his shotgun. Three pairs of hands are also included. The packaging follows suit with the usual Ultimate packaging, recreating the original 1982 movie poster as the box cover artwork.
MacReady will be released 20th June 2021 as part of the Father's Day promo from NECA. He will be exclusive to Target initially as a 'first to market' exclusive before the figure moves to a general release at other stockists.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force) and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
