Chronicle Collectibles Previews Full Line of ‘The Thing’ Statues

Cold Thing

Pop Culture Shock Collectibles recently teased a 1/6 scale figure of MacReady from John Carpenter’s The Thing, complete with the spider-head creature, but the figure was unfortunately cancelled early last year. A bummer, considering all we’ve seen from The Thing on the figure front came courtesy of McFarlane and SOTA, many years ago.

But no worries, because Chronicle Collectibles has picked up the license for a line of 1/9 scale statues that’ll soon be bringing all the main characters to your shelf!

ToyArk informed us that the company teased early sketches in a Facebook Live video this week, sharing concept art for R.J. MacReady, Blair, Bennings and Clark statues.

Check out the sneak preview art below.

NECA Leatherface

It’s a big year for Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, as the 1970s horror classic celebrates its 50th anniversary. In addition to a new map in Gun Interactive’s video game, which is launching on March 28, we also know that a 50th anniversary 4K set is on the way.

Additionally, NECA has previewed two brand new Leatherface toys that will be releasing this year, both of them based on the horror classic that started the franchise back in 1974.

Part of the Toony Terrors line, they’re based on two different Leatherface outfits.

The company previews, “Bring the fun of Saturday morning cartoons to your horror collection with the adorable little creeps of Toony Terrors, NECA’s line of stylized horror icons!

“We are thrilled to kick off the 50th anniversary celebration of the 1974 film Texas Chainsaw Massacre with two new Leatherface 6-inch scale Toony action figures. Get a fresh take on our classic Leatherface figure with this version featuring new bloody deco and updated chainsaw deco. Also available is an all-new, fan requested version of Leatherface in his “Pretty Woman” look, complete with chainsaw and iconic armadillo display base.”

Both figures come in commemorative 50th anniversary blister card packaging with cut-out cardbacks featuring original art by NECA painter Geoff Trapp.

The 50th anniversary toys are set to begin shipping in June 2024.
