Hi All,
Wondering if there are any model kits based on my favorite film, The Thing?
I tried google and couldnt find any.. Would love one as my next kit!

Thanks!!

there were 1:1 and a 1:6 spiderhead kits at one time.... and i think maybe the dog-thing from the kennel.

There was a Kurt Russel kit too, in resin.

There have been quite a few resin kits based on the movie. A lot were around some years ago... I recall seeing them maybe in the late 80s or early 90s when big figure kits were more in vogue on a public level.
