I know that feeling when opening the timed edition box! I do not regret a Thing! I agree 100% with the critiquing and I hope there is a more to come from Mondo.
The mutation dog looks like it was horribly rushed. The Neca version actually looks like the dog mutation in the movie super detailed. And Russell's face looks like he's hypnotized watching the t.v.
Still one of my all time favourite Sci Fi horror movies,the effects definitely were ground breaking in there day ,only just come across your channel,just subbed I like the way you show all the details and also what your not happy with
Great video! I missed out on the time release which really perturbs me because the cost difference was very minimal (under $40) which begs the question. Why didn't they just put the extras in all the releases and just charge that time release price? Its not like there's enough price difference to deter buyers! When I get mine, I think I will put a coat of sealant on the head and hands like I did my Mondo He-Man figure. For some odd reason, that process seems to be absent here which is why they read so chalky. Brushing on a light coat of sealant finishes the look and probably improves the overall appearance. I'll also check the arms and report back. They should be able to go to his side but it may be the positioning of the arm at the connection site which is preventing that. Great video though. Perfect lighting and I agree on your critiques. Think I'll put some weathering on that jacket too.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I’d love to hear your report about what you think of him, and if you worked out what’s going on with the arms too! I wouldn’t mind making some changes to my figure in the future but for now he does the job just perfectly fine! Make sure to let me know what you think of him!
Got mine, pros ..heads look better than in pics ,heavy body ,all the extras look good , nice box ,extra hand pegs , cons ..body could have been better ,doll looking jacket , one leg is weird , that wrinkle in bottom front of jacket ,no hat ,no goggles , definitely gonna do some upgrades to mine .i wish they would have opted for a simpler box and put it into a hat and goggles .still gonna make a awesome diorama with mine
Are you gonna get the timed edition of the mondo 1/6 figure for John Nada from They Live?? Tempted for time one since it comes with the what if alien head and the sunglasses
Great figure!! I didn’t buy it as I missed the timed edition.. did you back the upcoming “the thing expanded” documentary? By same company that has done aliens expanded,in search of darkness documentaries.they have already gotten JC,trying to get everyone who was involved in the movie even the elusive legendary Rob Bottin.
@@ARealHorrorShow well it’s to late now,last day to be a backer was Sept 2nd,thought you would of been aware being the horror TH-camr but maybe down the road they will re release it when it comes out it’s “the thing expanded” truly sorry you missed out on this amazing future project 😔
I’ve also seen a few videos of this figure. I have to say that your camera work on it is far superior to the others and shows more detail both good and bad. Some elements of the figure are superb and some elements are not. But overall it does look great but the price tag will have put a lot of people off. Ive seen this on EBay for around £400 so it’s looks like a good investment. I would rather stick to the 7” Neca figures as I find they are easier to display and I don’t have room for the bigger figures.
Your comment is much appreciated! I tried to really show this figure for what it was as well as I possible could on the camera! The NECA figures are brilliant! This is definitely the best sculpt of MacReady (or Kurt in general) that we’ve gotten yet in my opinion and a great figure overall
The reflective strips are zippers on the real flight suit Kurt Russell wore in the movie. It's a bit disappointing to see so much detail lost, but zippers at this scale almost always look too big, so I get it. They're still a bit too 2d for my taste, though, but I'm not really sure what else they could have done.
I don't think either of them are the Thing at the end, the horror no longer comes from the Thing it comes from not getting any closure both of them will die there never knowing the truth that it's all over, one last piece of brutal paranoia
I got the same timed edition. I think it's pretty good but there was room for improvement. The jacket is incredibly tight which hinders his arm movement. Also thought the hands could have been better to hold the weapons/flamethrower and the flame is incredibly heavy for it to stay inside the flamethrower. Got to say I agree about the box. 3.5/5 from me.
I don't know . . . Bennings gets lick'd by the Norwegian Thing/dog and then shot, after which he takes a swig of Macready's J&B which Macready is seen drinking from multiple times during the film . . . Carpenter masterfully leaves it all up for speculation.
For the prices we paid for this figure, the body is horrible. I had to do a body swap on it and I’m also thinking about swapping the jacket and the pilot suit.
Ya mondos’ articulation on their figs aren’t the greatest. They definitely need to update the buck bodies. I was going to get the creature they released but the articulation was terrible. Which is the reason I didn’t get it.
I know that feeling when opening the timed edition box! I do not regret a Thing! I agree 100% with the critiquing and I hope there is a more to come from Mondo.
I hope so too! I’m still bummed that John Nada didn’t have worldwide shipping however!
I saw The Thing at the drive-in summer of '82. I thought it was the best film I'd ever seen despite the negative reviews.
That’s awesome! I’m astounded that it got negative reviews upon release
One of the greatest SciFi movie, ever!
I would love to do a custom ice base for that with burning bits of the outpost.
It would look amazing!
The mutation dog looks like it was horribly rushed. The Neca version actually looks like the dog mutation in the movie super detailed. And Russell's face looks like he's hypnotized watching the t.v.
Did you notice anything strange about the dog? Anything at all?
Exceptional review! 👏👏
Thank you very much!
Just shows how good and influential The Thing was when 42 years later a company has the confidence to release this. Quality item and great likeness
Absolutely, and the fact it’s still considered one of the greatest movies in the entire genre speaks volumes!
Cant wait for trick or treat studios to do this and blow this out the water in case you didn't know im jealous
I’m so stoked dude! Mines out for delivery right now, can’t wait! Your review has me real hyped up for it
You won’t be disappointed mate!
@@ARealHorrorShow update: I was NOT disappointed! Awesome figure
I can't unsee Barry Gibb when I look at my NECA MacReady figure 😆
Still one of my all time favourite Sci Fi horror movies,the effects definitely were ground breaking in there day ,only just come across your channel,just subbed I like the way you show all the details and also what your not happy with
Appreciate your subscription, thank you very much! The effects in the movie are still my favourite examples of practical effects to this day!
Great video as always. Can’t wait for more content 🤩🤎
Thank you sweetheart! 🫶🏻
Stan Winston Special effects? Wasn't it Rob Bottin?
Stan Winston created the Dog Thing!
They all look amazing and great vid ❤
best movie, best review, best youtuber, best figure
Best comment, thank you so much 🙏🏻
Cracking review young man
Thank you very much my mate!
Congrats that is one hell of a box and the thing extras look amazing!!
Finally a good and fair review.
Much appreciated mate!
Congrats on the pick up! Amazing box. The fig. and extras look amazing.
Cheers! The box packaging is next level!
I agree that both Macready and Childs are not the thing. Just two survivors that may or may not survive long. But who am I to say!! 👍🇭🇲🦘✌️
Such an incredible figure, another fine addition to the collection! 🔥🤘🏻
He’s brilliant isn’t he mate? Was worth the wait!
I like this, and I love the accessories. The missing ICONIC hat is a complete miss and was a no purchase for me. The missing hoodie is a close second.
It would be cool if they did an accessory pack including those things
Good lord that “Thing” 😉😉 is fucking gorgeous!!!
Macready too!!
😂😂😂🙏🏻
Knowing Mondo, I GUARANTEE they release a blue hoodie Macready with the hat to get more use out of this tooling. It will for sure be made
Let’s see what happens! The Nada figure has just been revealed yesterday too!
@@ARealHorrorShow yuuup. I’m getting 2 for both headsculpts 😭

New to your channel unbelievable figure pure cool and realistic 😊
Welcome! And he is fantastic!
Looks great. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive.
I heard there’s a delay with shipments over in the states?

He will certainly make for an amazing diorama!

I have just uploaded a video talking about him and I answer your question there! 😉

By same company that has done aliens expanded,in search of darkness documentaries.they have already gotten JC,trying to get everyone who was involved in the movie even the elusive legendary Rob Bottin.
I’ll have to check that out!! Also, Rob Bottin is someone I’ve always wanted to meet, I wish he did convention appearances or something!

Great likeness but he should have came with the hat as well!
The thing is one of my all time favorite movies
Same here! A masterpiece!
I’m more than happy with what we got but there are some additional things he could have come with!
Nice review. Where did you get the Hannibal Lecter mask behind your right side? I would like to get one. Thanks
Cheers! The Lecter mask is a replica made by fibreglassmasks!
I'm getting him!
And putting him next to my Rick Grimes Threezero figure. So they'll be fighting walkers side by side🧟♂️😮🌟
That will make for a great display!
I’ve also seen a few videos of this figure. I have to say that your camera work on it is far superior to the others and shows more detail both good and bad.

I come from the live on tik tok, I heard you sing and please, upload songs you sing very well you have great talent with the guitar
That’s very kind and much appreciated! I’m sure you’ll see more of that in the future!
@@ARealHorrorShow I look forward to that.
Where did you order it from???
The MONDO website!
Who made those Evil Dead posters?
They’re done by artist Graham Humphreys!
Twist the shoulders. It worked for mine 👍
I’ll definitely give it a go!
I just got mine. That sucker is heavy.
He is indeed! Love a good weight to a figure!
Am so happy i got the deluxe set with spiderhead and dog the head sculpt does look better then neca by much great review comes close to my custom
The deluxe set was absolutely essential!
@@ARealHorrorShow yes I needed spiderhead badly to mention that sota toys always had a great looking thing set

It's a bit disappointing to see so much detail lost, but zippers at this scale almost always look too big, so I get it. They're still a bit too 2d for my taste, though, but I'm not really sure what else they could have done.
Surprisingly the actual zippers on this figure are not so bulky and oversized, which is something I’m extremely happy about!
I don't think either of them are the Thing at the end, the horror no longer comes from the Thing it comes from not getting any closure both of them will die there never knowing the truth that it's all over, one last piece of brutal paranoia
I like this take on it!

Que chidas las cosas que tienes
first question what website did you get this from ? I Might like to get it.
I got this directly from MONDO when it went up for pre order!
@@ARealHorrorShow I noticed their sold out
The timed edition is, it was exclusive to the mondo website for a limited time
is still on the website but only the figure is on sale , without the dog and spider limited stuff but is just 230$
dhl ohio stole my package now i gotta wait till late September for a replacement from mondo
That’s crazy!! I’ve seen there’s been a lot of problems with the postage over in the states!
Nice rev and channel. The face looks like Andrew Lincon twin sister.
neither of them was the thing at the end of the movie, because if Childs was the thing he would of went to sleep in the ice instead of visiting mac
Yeah i could have swore john said that years ago on a interview or one a extra disk one time that neither of them were
For the prices we paid for this figure, the body is horrible. I had to do a body swap on it and I’m also thinking about swapping the jacket and the pilot suit.
Hi, I'm coming from TikTok for your girlfriend's videos 🌟
Hello and welcome!! Thank you for checking out the channel! 🫶🏻

I hope they improve them in the future, it would go a long way!
The Thing at the time was not widely accepted due to its nihilistic plot.
where the hat
He need the hat
