The Thing – Ultimate Poster Series
Add a prized artefact to your collection with the The Thing – Ultimate Poster Series.
In 1982, John Carpenter unleashed a masterclass in cosmic dread and paranoia with The Thing. Out in the frozen, isolated wastes of Antarctica, an American research team discovers an ancient, shape-shifting alien entity capable of perfectly assimilating any living organism. Trust evaporates, terror takes over, and the ultimate battle for human survival begins.
Before audiences ever stepped into Outpost 31, they were captivated by Drew Struzan’s legendary theatrical poster artwork—a solitary figure trapped in a heavy winter parka, their face utterly obscured by a blinding, explosive burst of white light. This Ultimate action figure brings that iconic piece of cinematic history off the print and directly into three dimensions.
Product and design details
