Neca Ultimate Dog Creature The Thing Action Figure Unboxing

[@VictorHugo-Al]

It looks cool sure, but 60 bucks? Neca be tripping, those are basically two big accessories.

[@TheCollectionDimension]

I'm in the same boat. I think its cool but not $60 cool lol. Definitely a accessory set lol

[@Easternboy30]

I think they should have given the dog articulation points, 60 fucking bucks and I can’t even fat a standing dog?

[@TheCollectionDimension]

@@Easternboy30 it has amazing arm moving capability lol its the little stubs that move that count as articulation lol. Also every ball point for the tentacles are considered articulation points. Looks great but very annoying to put together and keep together.

[@jermainehaslam5634]

60 bucks is fair to me, you can give the creature different looks with showing the transformation of the dog but I can understand if you don't agree.

[@TheCollectionDimension]

Its all an opinion. Its a nice figure but for $60 I shouldnt of had all the problem that I did with it. The only reason $60 is high to me is because you can get MacReady with the flame thrower and plenty accessories for $30. Again it is all opinion based. Thanks for the comment

Thanks for the review! Was on the fence but definitely getting now. It’s essentially two figures so I’think it’s worth it. Been waiting decades for Thing figures. Please come out with more monsters from the film!

[@TheCollectionDimension]

Yes 2 figures with be able to change the designs for them also. Both dogs have like 3-4 different ways to have them look. That is really nice, only issue is how hard it is to put this altogether and keep it like that lol.

[@DrVelociraptor2007]

Looks amazing, one of the best figure set from Neca. But the price is a little higher, $40 will be perfect

[@TheCollectionDimension]

It is a very detailed figure though I have to stay. Part of me becomes ok with the price until I try putting it together or moving it lol.

[@cancel.lgbtq.6892]

I was around 8 or 9 years old when I first saw the original THING. That dog scene haunted me for months. I had to sleep with lights on for a long time. Until this day , that scene still one of the goriest for the sci-fi horror movies.

[@thesilentknight4554]

*It's a great figure. I got mine!* *No complaints, but yes....in the end they aren't that big to be in such a large box. Quite small actually, exception those arm claws. I TRULY wish they created the larger scale Thing creature, & as it's shown in mega form at end of the movie. Fingers crossed that will still happen. And $60, for accessory type scale pieces? Hm. If they included something more major, such as a larger scale Thing creature then it would be more bang for our buck! Hopefully in the near future, or even other members of the gang like Childs, Windows, etc.🙏🙀🤞*

[@TheCollectionDimension]

That would be real nice for them to make one like that and have the Spider Head. This is a great figure when put together/ stays together. I think it should of been around $40-50 for this one. Pretty crazy figure though and very detailed so I understand kinda.

[@ClockBandit11]

I’ll pass on this man that thing is creepy af 😂,MacReady figs are good enough for me

Great figure, I suggest you heat it up. Also on the end of the tentacles ball joints, break the paint. When you stick it in everytime when I tried turning the ball joint in a different direction it would pop out. Make sure they move before putting them in and I think that will kill a lot of the stress lol.

I just put these two together last night. I love how they look, but they are not designed to be played with in any way. As you said, they were difficult to put together and the pieces fall out if you look at them funny. The instructions were ass as well. I'm both amazed and disappointed by this set at the same time.

[@TheCollectionDimension]

I know exactly how you feel lol I love the look of it, Amazing!!! but man the articulation, Manual, and keeping it together was a fail. Every time I tried to pose it a piece fell out and I had to breathe lol.

Awesome Review 😎I'm a Huge Fan of The Thing even Though it Scared the Heck out of Me when I saw it at The Movies when I was a Kid😂

Same thing here but I also think thats the reason I like it so much lol I love all the movies that scared the crap outta me lol

[@MasonDoesSomeStuff]

Was able to get this thing for 50$ with my target employee discount and target circle honestly worth it.

[@TheCollectionDimension]

Nice, $40 to 50 is where I would out this figure at imo but I have to say it is amazing once you get it together/ stays together. Very detailed also so makes me understand the price more.

[@JohnWMorehead]

In a way I'm glad to see that you thought the assembly was long and difficult, and the instructions are lacking. I think the sculpt details and paintjob are great, but NECA did a poor job on joint construction. This seemed more like model building for me from back in the day, not an unboxing for a figure for my collection. Surprising for this toy maker.

[@TheCollectionDimension]

I wanted to show me putting it together. I was recording me assembling it but after recording for 20 minutes and a lot of frustration I turned the camera off lol. It took around another 40 minutes to finish putting it together and even then pieces were falling off. I was not happy at all.

[@JohnWMorehead]

@@TheCollectionDimension I wrote a review of it for WONDER Magazine that will be published soon and noted it looks great, but the poor instructions and bad design, coupled with the pieces not fitting together well, made this a questionable piece, at least for me. I felt like I was a teenager again struggling with a badly made model rather than a toy collector trying to get something on my shelf. Not up to NECA's usual high standards.

[@jayblack7495]

Imagine these 2 pieces simply laying on a small bed of straw with some red gloss splashed in puddles beneath... Really nice.

[@TheCollectionDimension]

[@Cmarra95]

Just got this set today. I got 5 of the six spider dog legs in on the regular dog thing. The front right of mine won’t go in no matter what. Seems like the hole isn’t deep enough. Either gonna have to use a drill bit or glue it in there. For the more gruesome transformed dog thing the one part that has a ball joint won’t go into the front of the body where it’s supposed to go. I might have to try heating up the hole to see if it can go in because it looks to be a super tight fit. Got the ceiling arms to go in though with their ball joint. Overall it’s a cool set but super frustrating so far. Once I get things put together I ain’t gonna take it all a part ever again.

[@TheCollectionDimension]

100% lol I was thinking the same thing. I wanted to record me putting it together but you can imagine how long of a video that would of been lol. I was very annoyed by the end of making this video lol Everytime I tried to change the position some piece fell out and I would have to breath lol

[@Cmarra95]

@@TheCollectionDimension I did some heat treatment and got the difficult front tongue mouth’s ball joint to go into the gruesome things’s front. I got most of the holes plugged with some type of tentacle but left two holes unused because it would either cause the figure to become unbalanced, take up more room then it needs to on the shelf or just interfere with another piece. So my advice to anyone is get it the best you can and don’t worry about using every piece. They give you more then you need to cover the figure with. As for the mid transformation/regular dog thing I got the sixth leg to go in kinda with heat as well. But it seems still to be very delicate on that one leg. I’m letting the plastic cool as we speak to see if it sets in but I’m not getting my hopes up. Also the super big bendable tentacles while cool make the figure a bit top heavy and feel out of place idk maybe it’s just me. Also reminds me of twizzlers lol.

[@TheCollectionDimension]

Lol I'm on the same page. The long one is cool but everytime I tried to bend it for another look it would pop out smh. I think I need to dremmel out some of the holes to make it fit 100% with no problem.

[@Mrknifeskill]

I've wanted this since the first teaser pics. Kind of fell of my radar for a while as I'm into far too many toy lines lately. Would look nice next to the McFarlane things. Does it look like it's missing pieces if you don't connect and use all the tentacles I wonder as fiddling with small pieces and accessories is a sure fire way to mar an otherwise awesome figure.

[@TheCollectionDimension]

No it has different way to display both of them. That is what is nice about the figure itself. Just hard trying to put all the parts in at the same time. Figure does look amazing though imo

[@Mrknifeskill]
