NECA The Dog THING Creature Ultimate Deluxe Figure Assembling and Review!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 พ.ย. 2023
- Showing my review and assembling of The NECA Toys Ultimate Deluxe box set of the Dog Thing Creature Figure that was inspired from the 1982 John Carpenters The Thing Movie.
Got mine today. It's awesome. They went above and beyond with this
Thanks for checking the review out and congrats on your Neca hauls picking up this figure! I think it's the coolest creature I have seen yet as far as Horror figures go from Neca!👍
Man, I can't adequately express to you just how •incredibly lucky• I felt when I spotted this fig at the nearest local Target...
I'd already found it on eBay for just a few bucks more than what I ended up spending on it there, but still… I mean, I'm •entirely certain• that I'm not alone in the notion that •the actual hunt• is a relatively big part of the full collector's experience… right❔ Well, am I⁉️
Anywho… xD After getting it home and outta' the box, I quickly discovered that I'd only just won •half the battle• 😮💨 So, thank you •SO very much• for this instructional video, man. Truly, big ups, homie.
Thanks for stopping in to check out the review and setup! I also appreciate you sharing your figure Haul finds in the wild or retail. Congrats on finding this at Target! That's exciting, and I definitely agree about the thrill of the hunt as a collector in stores. I buy most of my stuff online at this point. But do miss those toy hunting days. I think Neca did a great job on this dog thing Creature and the box! It is tricky and takes patience to put it together. Maybe even a little silocone or crazy glue if certain tentacles keep falling off. That's what I did! Have a great New Year 👍
Careful with ebay
Was having major issues trying to get the arms secured, and this video helped immensely! I love these figures so much, thankfully I’ve been lucky enough to not break or snap anything!
Thanks for checking out! I'm glad to hear parts of my review helped you out with the figure set up! Yeah, you have to be careful and patient with some of these parts and how they go into certain parts of the body or sockets
Using a blow dryer on low heat is a big help. I still broke the husky tail ball peg, trying to force it off. I just glued it back in place. I have no reason to leave it off. NECA makes some really cool, well detailed horror figures and creatures. But they are very delicate and you have to expect some issues. Congrats on picking this awesome figure up and the fact that you didn't break anything 👍
Same. I was nervous with the plastic, and had to search for an assembly to check if anyone else was using a blow dryer for some of them. I've had figures in the past where that technique wasn't enough and actually needed to be drilled or tapered. It worked like a charm. Really cool. I rarely buy figured due to limited space but once I saw this at Target after I literally said a week ago to my fiance that I never see the thing creature figures, just McCready, and then bam. It was in my hand. Haha.. can't wait to create the set for it on my shelf.
@Travis10222 Thanks for stopping in and sharing your comments on this Dog Thing Creature set. Yeah, using a blow dryer, drilling, tapping, figure stands, putty, and gluing new figures out of box from Neca and other Toy companies is nothing new to me or even a shock. It's disappointing that we spend $30 to 60 dollars on plastic toys and products and then reinforce or make repairs right out of the box. Many collectors, including myself, ask for more complex details and articulation with newer figures or creatures from companies like Neca. They deliver. However, there are many issues that come with a toy from the factory that is made with the cheapest plastics and complicated parts that have to function and yet keep the price point down as much as possible. So it's really difficult not to have some kind of issues.
It's unfortunate! I call it the curse of the modern-day adult toy collector. I just deal with it and make the little repairs or modifications. In the end, I put on my shelf, and it looks awesome! Or good enough for me! I'm glad you also see the same point with this figure and just do what you got to do in order to make it a little better for your collection 👍
Have to get this one. Saw it on Entertainment Earth but passed on it when I saw it was Neca. Your review sold me on it and hope it will be more durable than other Neca figures.
Thanks for checking out the review, and I'm glad you now want to pick one up! It's an honestly incredible work of art from Neca. But there's a lot of small parts and ball pegs. Use a blow dryer on low heat to remove or add things to the joints so you don't break things. That's how I snapped the peg in my hunky tail.
Hello Manchild! Poor Dog! This is something for "unboxers". A good recreation left me speechless.
Hello again! Yeah, many, many parts on many bubbles. Aside from that cool looking box cover. This figure is meant to be taken out and set up with the two different forms. Thanks for stopping in as always and sharing your thoughts 👍
@@Themanchlid I think i have never seen an action figure with that much parts and details. Its like a modelkit!
@iliasfog8857 It definitely feels a little bit like a painted model kit.
this figure is the type of plastic that you probably need to take every single piece and bathe them in some hot ass water before even bothering trying to connect the parts.
It's more the ball joint sockets that have to be heated up with a blow dryer to push the accessories ends in like the tentacles from what I see. I'm not sure if I would submerge all the parts in hot water because of the paint apps. But you definitely have to be careful. Thanks for checking the review out!
It’s enough for me not to even want to buy this, I’ll stick with my McFarlane figz, sux because I was wanting this, maby diamond select will make a bad ass gallery statue
@@DR676767 It's a great looking figure with plenty of movie accurate accessories. But very complex and delicate for sure!
@@dogboy5398 Yes and no. Some areas or parts I had to heat the sockets up to fit certain things in. The one crab leg I broke trying to twisted it in the body with no heat. I heated the other areas and they then went in ok. The tentacles were all different. Some went in easy. Others I had to twist in. And a few areas I used a blow dryer. I guess it depends on each Figure and the circumstance.
La he adquirido hoy y te aseguro que montarla y encajar cada union ha sido una pesadilla autentica!!! Muy bonita figura e imprescindible si eres amante de la pelicula PERO muy poco practica. Un saludo
Thanks for the hair dryer tip, an absolute life saver!
@adrianmcqueen-mason6900 Thanks for watching! Yeah, I use a blow dryer on most figure joints before assembly. It makes life much easier! Also, I find certain tentacles or parts falling out! Use some clear nail polish inside the joint.
@@Themanchlid Thanks, I will keep that nail polish tip in mind as well!
@@adrianmcqueen-mason6900 👍
Was such a great movie. This figure is really awesome!!
It's definitely one of my all time favorites horror movies and still holds up great! It's incredible to finally see a Dog Thing Creature in figure form with all those parts! It came out super cool! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍
I love Neca but their ball joints cause me stress lol. Had a heck of a time swapping Elvira's head, so this Dog figure should be fun when it arrives...
Yes, you have to be patient and use a blow dryer on low heat on the socket ends to where you want to plug the ball joint in such as the tentacles. I had issues with certain areas. Just follow the directions and take it slow, building it. Thanks for watching, and best of luck when you finally get your figure👍
Lol I still haven't changed Elvira's head. I just can't.....
Great video! I was struggling with attaching the arms to for 2.. I took your technique and pulled the peg from the little dog leg with pliers and that solved the problem! I was almost disappointed with the purchase until I saw your tip
@@Dreamcancel696 Thanks for taking the time to check out this review. I'm glad it helped solve you're issue with that peg. Yeah I think they messed up at the factory or changed the design last minute and now that part in the instructions is off. It's nothing a little customizing can't fix as you did! 👍
Thank the lord for youtube, I was so confused trying to get the big arms onto the creature body lol
Lol. Thanks for checking the review out. This is an awesome piece representing the dog thing in the film. But it's complicated to put together in certain areas. Hopefully, this video helped!
I hope they do more thing figures in the future. A split face figure from the remake would be amazing. Or the blood test thing monster would be really cool
Yeah, they can really make some cool thing figures from that movie. I guess it depends on how successful this dog thing will sell.. It's expensive and has very delicate parts. I think that Blair spider head and maybe the blair monster would be up next like mcfarlane Toys did. Thanks for watching 👌
Prequel* it isn't a remake but a direct prequel that literally ends when the old movie begins.
Excellent review ! Can't wait for mine from e.e.
Thanks for stopping in, bro! I hope you get your figure soon! Lots of stuff involved to set up. 👍
Great and very helpful review! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad the review helped you with the setup. This figure is really cool looking, but it is complex and delicate in certain areas to assemble!
@@Themanchlid Actually, I don't have it yet, but I eventually do want to get it. This review definitely lets me know what I'd be getting myself into, but also points out the pitfalls to watch out for!
@voronOsphere Oh, ok. Yeah, sometimes watching reviews of certain figures such as this dog thing helps you decide if it's worth the purchase.
I loved this film, i also thought the prequal in 2011 was enjoyable
Oh yeah! This has been one of the movies I watched the most and still enjoy to this day. I also liked something about the prequel regardless of the negative reviews because of all the overuse of CGI! thanks for stopping in and sharing your thoughts 👌
Completely agree. I even loved the ps2 game
@@docessex943 Oh yeah! That Ps2 game was awesome for the day!👍
This is awesome. I own a ton of the Ultimate NECA figures but i don't own any of the Thing figures. I Think i may try to get this one.
This is definitely one cool piece if you like Neca Horror stuff and especially the Thing movie. It's awesome what you get. But the parts are delicate, and you definitely need a little patience and a blow dryer to put certain parts together. But I think it's a must-have! Thanks for also checking out this video 🤝
Dude at 30:50 that Norris is sick please make a video making one of those again. Would love to see that done. Amazing custom job
Thanks for checking out the review! Yeah, that was an experiment/ custom figure i fooled around with to make it that way! It's just basically a Mcfarlane Norris Thing with a Neca left for dead mutant figure from the game. I cut the coat and chest open with a razor knife..I then used silocone and set the Norris base in the chest. I let it dry overnight. I then used skin color putty around the open area. I was gonna also put shark teeth around it. But I never got to it.
I also made that table out of hobby stock and sprayed it silver. I'm not sure if I would make another one. The figures are expensive on eBay. Those two I already had.
I usually only get neca aliens but im a huge fan of the original the thing movie
@goodxd701 Thanks for checking out this review and sharing your toy collection info. Yeah, I collect Neca aliens and the predator series. They are definitely some of my favorite figures to own. But the Thing is still one of my favorite movies, and this Dog thing figure is a must-have for any alien or horror collector👍
I just picked this up and it's awesome. 👌🏼
Congrats on the pick-ups! Yeah, it's hitting stores and online now! What an awesome horror creature for the Toy collection! Thanks for watching and sharing your toy Hauls 👍
I never would have known about the fence background if you hadn't mentioned it since usually they provide those separate in the box and and not part of the box.
Yeah, I honestly almost overlooked it myself until I was trying to close the box up, and I noticed the inside part came out, and it was the diorama background.
Thanks for watching. Congrats on getting this creepy complex figure as we 👌
I think I’m going to get this. I’ll just wait until the hottest day of the year,leave all of the pieces on a table outside for a few hours,then I shouldn’t have any issues in building 🙄
Thanks for checking the review out! Yeah it's definitely a really cool creepy well detailed dog thing figure. That's a good idea to leave it in the sun for a bit to soften the sockets up for building. The other issue I have is with certain sockets being to loose and the tentacles falling out. I used Rtv silocone to keep then in.👌
The last mc ready is awesome 👌 👏
They really decked that MacReady figure out like the last scene in the movie with all the accessories! The box is awesome, too! Thanks for watching 👍
Man, this looks fuckin awesome!! Love the diorama background they give you. The skull looks so awesome and detailed. It’s so cool that neca gives you so many accessories. But it’s so frustrating for me sometimes because I never know how to display it because there are too many options lol. But it’s fucked up that the paw tentacle pegs don’t connect.
Thanks for stopping in already, bro! The diorama background is a nice touch. But I think it should have had a bigger hay floor piece. But that is something that can be made easy with a hay, Matt. The skull is creepy looking. I don't remember seeing that in the movie scene. Maybe it's a concept or cut part from the film.
I would just build and display it according to the directions sheet or close. That's what I did. But I then changed a couple of things around like I showed in the review. Yeah, I have a feeling two of the tentacles were supposed to have larger ball pegs for the paws, and they didn't add those. I'll call it a factory issue. I can adapt something to the ends to fit those. I'm not even gonna bother! I'm using all the tentacles on form two, which is just too awesome 👌
The skull can be seen for a few seconds when the head first splits but then it falls out@Themanchlid
@Themanchlid also you dont have to put the tentacles on the arms that picture is just for demonstration that you can kinda customize it
@lizardjoesreptiles4224 Yeah, I rewatched the scene again very close when I got this figure just to compare details in the moment. I think I noticed that. All the times I watched that movie. I just never noticed it then. Thanks for stopping in to check out the review and sharing that info👍
@lizardjoesreptiles4224 No, I didn't even bother doing that. They don't work anyway. They put the wrong ball pegs on the feet if you wanted to do that from the directions. I got a couple of comments complaining about the same issues with their figures in regards to that! I just used the tentacles somewhere else. Form two has other areas that can use all the tentacles anyway.
Thanks for telling me cause I’m planning on buying one wanted to make sure it wasn’t bunk
No problem! Thanks again for checking out the review!👍
@@Themanchlid your welcome
@@SHINOKONOKOSHNANTAIN 👍
The diameter Footprint for this is fairly large to be displayed on our shelf. Very nice but also a little untidy? I have the SOTA version
The background section is very large. The hay floor could have been a little bigger for photos to put the things creatures on all the way. But it's not the worst issue. I already picked up a roll-out hobby grass matt, which is perfect for display. The figures are large and also take up space. That's cool. Do you have the SOTA toys version. That's definitely fits on the shelf better. But I think the Neca MacReady and dog thing have much better sculpts and details than that SOTA one. But it's still a great piece. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👍
I want that 10/10
It's definitely one of the coolest horror creatures I own in my toy collection to date! Thanks for checking out the review 👍
Insane price .
Just wait for it to show up at retail like Target. It should be less money than online. Thanks for watching 👌
I love that red on black box but its strange how they used The Thing font from the original 1950s film for this 1980s Carpenter creature. It makes me really want a James Arness Thing figure from NECA. You say there's been 3 NECA McCready's, I have the McCready from the beginning of the movie: Leather Jacket, finds the block of ice. I've seen the climax McCready, loaded with TnT, from the end of the film in stores. The third NECA version?? Without a jacket, long johns, blasting Thing dogs. Never even knew it existed
Edit: ok, so the 3rd version of McCready that I've never seen has the flamethrower?
Thanks for stopping in! Good to hear from you! The colors on the box art and style are unique! I think they are calling it UV coating. I always thought the thing from the 1950s was a tall figure with large hands walking around. At least the Black and white movie that I saw. This dog thing is straight looks to be designed after the John Carpenter 80s movie. That's what images also show.
Unless there's other concepts I'm not familiar with! Yes, there were three MacReady figures, and the second one was the flamethrower version I showed. The original one I have in box as well as the Last Stand MacReady that I also showed in the review. It's awesome to see these figures with excellent details a reality in Toy form now!👍
@@Themanchlid Just the Box. Google image The Thing from another World poster and you'll see. The font of the title 'The Thing' is in the 1950s style NOT the blocky white letters that John Carpenters Film uses. I'm just talking about the box, dude
@RoyceLovesHisShotgun Oh, ok! I see what you're saying! I guess Neca wanted to mix things up between the box and the figure!
@@ThemanchlidI've watched the John Carpenter film probably more times than you. Over the decades, there has always been a very distinct line drawn between the 1950s film and Carpenters 80s remake. Weird seeing them now, mix imagery from both films 🤔
Anyways, good review. Awesome set!
@RoyceLovesHisShotgun lol. I thought I was the only one who watched that film too many times! I just rewatched it again before doing this review! I'm guessing the mixture of content between the figure and cover is for Nastalgia or to pay respect to where the Thing concept first appeared, but making the 80s creature from that film to be over the Top! Thanks for watching as always and sharing your comments 👌
The ones on Alibaba are considerably cheaper.... are they KOs ???? they look real @TheManChild
and where do I buy from? in Australia.
Thanks for checking out the review. I'm not familiar with the ones on Alibaba. They could be real or bootleg. I bought a few Neca Bootleg figures in the past. They were just as good or no better than the actual figures from my experience. If you're in Australia, I would go for Alibaba if it's the best option as far as costs. This figure is mainly in the USA at most retailers like Big Bad Toy store that might ship to Australia and it will be very expensive plus custom taxes.
The fact that he sounds bored even though he is excited
Lol. I was exited to get this figure finnaly! It was exhausing making the review and all the parts swapping. It takes hours to film and edit. Then you see the cut down video all put together! Thanks for watching 👍
I wonder if neca will make the other thing forms
They did mention they plan on making a couple other Thing figures from the movie. If they do, I'm guessing they will be the Norris Head and The Thing from the last part of the movie simular to what Mcfarlane Toys did and those comparisions I showed. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👌
@@Themanchlid definitely will buy those
@@forestthomer938 You and me both! I think they would be very popular with Neca or Horror figures collectors.
Really wish they'd do 1/18 ReAction Thing Figures.
That would be awesome! Maybe we will see that down the road! 👍
Excellent review! Neca makes very cool looking figures, but I'll probably pass on this as their stuff tends to be way too fragile with consistent quality control issues. On the very rare occasion I do buy a Neca figure now I tend to keep them factory sealed.
Thanks for checking the review out! I appreciate your comments and feedback as well! Yeah, I agree about how fragile their figures are and the QC issues with many of NECAs products. I like all their horror stuff because of what you get in the box. But if I didn't review stuff on TH-cam. I would just leave it MOC in a package like I do with many of Necas figures that I haven't reviewed. They have a better chance of not breaking that way!
@@Themanchlid You got to have content. Keep them coming. I enjoy the reviews they really do help out on weather or not something is worth a purchase. I did buy NECA's JAWS figures of Quint and Hooper and I'm still waiting for them to release the shark. Those will probably be the last of my NECA purchases. They knocked the likenesses out of the park and it's my all time favorite movie.
@xenofett7008 Thanks again! Yeah, having a channel is all about content! I collect many Neca Horror figures. But not everything. I also don't review everything from Neca because I keep some things in card, and Neca products are complex to review. At least the way I go about a review and editing. I'm more about the Masters of the Universe lines now. But I collect and try to review a little bit of both. I don't always have content up back to back because of severe health issues with connective tissue disease and degenitive arthritis I struggle with. So im select with what I do when I can. Otherwise, I would have videos up every other day. But I appreciate your interests and support! 👍
That would have been so awesome if all the predators came with a diorama and maybe you could have put them all side by side to make like a yautja prime layout.. or something like that
@joelamel8056 I think certain Predator figures had a background diorama. Most didn't. You can always print one from a color copier of images you want from Google. They also sell all kinds of photos and diorama backgrounds. I have a few different ones.
Epick movie my wife buyed me the dvd
Oh, I watched that movie a hundred times within my lifetime from the age of 10 to almost 50 now. I also got the DVD. Awesome movie. That's cool. Your wife is getting you the DVD! Thanks for checking out this review and sharing your enthusiasm 👍
Loved watching with dad sci-fi and horror movies evry weekend when i was kid the 2011 movie was good too of the thing wish they showed the bug like form he hade that burst out of the block of ice or make a fig thankyou very mutch for sharing this great vids hope you make some transformers too @@Themanchlid
Got this as a Christmas present and was really happy about it. Unfortunately, the only thing I can attach are the tentacles. Even using a blow-dryer, I couldn't get the one on the front of the dog-creature to connect. The ball-joint looked way too big, and I hate that I might have to swap them out using tweezers. I think it's really crappy for NECA to make it that way, and give you absolutely unhelpful instructions (which don't say anything about having to heat up certain parts). I wish they would've just made the Thing completely formed and sold it that way. It makes me feel bad for my mother, who spend quite a bit of money on this.
Thanks for stopping in to check out the review and sharing your comments on this figure set now that you got one in hand. It's a really great piece to have. But it is very frustrating to set up as well as delicate! Yes, I think there is a factory issue with those two Tenacles not being able to fit the dog paws like I showed in this review. I just used them on form two of the dog. But they are supposed to fit the paws. They have larger ball joints that are incorrect there, I guess. It's one of those unfortunate QC issues with this set. But I just overlooked it and set everything else up.
Maravillosa figura 😘😘
It definitely came really cool! Thanks for stopping in to check it out 👍
the dog head should be split in two like the film
Yeah I think they should have included another head that showed that split during the Transformation along with a couple other parts that was also showed in that movie during that scene. Thanks for checking out this review 👍
@@Themanchlid time and budget was probably the reason
@@donkeykong6426 I'm sure it was! I know this figure didn't come out on schedule. Also there should have been a series of open eyes sculpted on the back part of the dog thing form two. You can get a good look at them when he is up on the ceiling when the other mouth opened and that venus fly trap looking tongue came out which is another iconic piece that would have been cool to see.
Actually seen this movie recently ew! Talk about gross!
The actually captured how this monster look so this is cool but not for me lol! Nice review✨✨✨✨
Lol. It's funny how many people are making reaction videos or watching the movie now for the first time of your generation! They are shocked at how gross and realistic it looks. The movie bombed in 1982 because of how disturbing it was to many people who never saw those kinds of effects and stories before. Now it's become a classic and very popular cult following. But even to this day, the movie and now creature figures aren't for everyone! But it's cool you watched the movie and also took a look at this figure review👌
@@Themanchlid Of course ✨✨✨✨
@@jigsawnora3207 😁👍
¡¡¡ Cuidado !!!! ⚠️
No lo toques te vas a infectar 😮
Yeah, it almost looks real enough to get an infection from. Lol. Thanks for watching 👍
За😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤
😁👍
what a waste that left 4 dead figure gos for over a 100 bucks alone
Yeah right! Many of those older figures are too expensive now to get for collecting and customs. Thanks for stopping in to check out the review 👍
This is the biggest piece of shit I've bought in a while. To have all these brittle pieces, have to heat everything up, and have to look up videos how to......GARBAGE.
Lol.. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts on this figure. Yeah, it's not the most user-friendly figure. I love the art and creepiness. But it's definitely annoying to assemble. I'm just used to the horse Shit with modern-day toy collecting. You have to see the tools I have just to put this stuff together.
Who the fuck wants that ???...
Many people want that or Thing Creature figures from the movie. These have been asked for a long time on message boards and comments.

@@SHINOKONOKOSHNANTAIN 👌
If all the tentacles had bendy wires this would be a must buy for me... as is it will be a buy only if i could find it on sale or clearance.
I wasn't sure if all the tentacles would have bendy wires. Only the larger ones because they feel more rubbery. The smaller tentacles are more hard plastic, and they don't usually make those with wires because they will crack. And all rubber ones are another problem. But it is still a cool piece! Thanks for stopping in to check out the review 👍
