As other people have shared this is my creation :wave

Im thinking of using one of the headplay bodies. As there will be lots of layers on the figure a cheap body will do fine.

That's actually what I had planned :lol

I used the new HT muscular body. Even with 3 layers of clothes the arms still had pretty good motion(not in these pics :lol:lol). mines off to get his snow applied to him and we'll see what he looks like soon.

Now mine is 100% complete. I'm working on my own crab head thing but I think I might want some of the others being offered here.

Put me down for a Blair Thing and Dog Thing.... Thanks

3) Blair Thing- It would be fun to sculpt a Blair Thing with an actual Wilfred Brimley likeness and looking a bit more wicked. Maybe afte the Kennel, depending on interest?

How big would this Blair-thing be? I'm interested in the Norris crab head almost exclusively but the idea of a full reveal "Thing" intrigues me.

I'd like the Norris thing too:

This is the sort of thing we would want to discuss with you guys before we proceeded to see what was wanted. To make him a bit smaller we could always have him be more in the floor and leaning forward in a more threatening pose?

Re: WGP's John Carpenters "THE THING" project 2012

Would the Norris monster be of interest? Seems simpler -- worm body and some spindly legs. I think that AND the crab head would make a great "foe" for MacCready.... and Childs.

Re: WGP's John Carpenters "THE THING" project 2012

I'm fine with throwing whomever you want into the interest lists. The THING and Phantasm are my two favorite movies so I am happy to make whatever you guys vote.

My dream dio is Macready in the Kennel. Anything after that is gravy! (laugh).

Re: WGP's John Carpenters "THE THING" project 2012

Put me down for the head crab also please.
What gloves you guys using for MacReady? Any one have any pictures of them?

Hope that helps

That is fantastic, Elvis, as always! :clap

And thank you for the tips!

But I have to ask ... where did you get that hat? Looks like a perfect match to Mac's big, ridiculous lid!

Please add me for Macready!

Re: WGP's John Carpenters "THE THING" project 2012

Here's my MacReady in progress. He's getting weathered and customized by a friend on here.

 

[JeffTVR]

Please, please put me down for everything! Cheers!

Re: WGP's John Carpenters "THE THING" project 2012

Oh wow, I haven't done anything custom in a long time but this is too good. Put me down for Mac, a Norris Head for sure, and possibly a full Norris but thats one I'll need to see first.

Gotcha on the list, amigo! Thanks! There are no wait list, just interest lists (with no cut off numbers). :wave
