NECA The Thing 'Movie Poster Edition'

NECA are repacking and re-releasing their 2022 SDCC exclusive from The Thing, replicating the original movie poster.


The Poster Series release comes with a hooded action figure in 7-inch scale, including a light-up LED face. Into this can slot light-beam faceplates, coloured to match the original movie poster painting. The figure is packed into a new window box with background artwork to finish off the movie poster look.



The figure is available to pre-order now at the NECA Store and across all NECA retailers. It is due to ship in Q2 (April-June) of 2026. We've added this new release to our NECA Collector Database.



From John Carpenter’s sci-fi horror masterpiece The Thing comes the next figure in NECA’s Poster Series line! Famously painted in just a few hours by the great Drew Struzan—without having seen a single frame of the film—the 1982 movie poster became an icon of horror cinema.


Now you can own a piece of this legendary poster, recreated in action figure form. The fully articulated, 7-inch scale figure features an LED light-up face function, interchangeable light beam faceplates, and deco to match the original painting. It comes in collector-friendly window box packaging designed to showcase the figure in a display that looks like it stepped right out of the poster art! Button cell batteries are included.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s 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 licenses - 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...
