No problem. All I'll charge you is a pint or two and maybe a shot of good whiskey.

I would argue it is impossible to HIJACK a thread when talking about THE THING.

I'm at least as big a fan as you guys, believe it or not. I was 18 when that was in the theaters. I saw it three times on the big screen. I also used to belong to a video store back in those days and my best friend and I would rent two or three horror flicks every week. THE THING was a "go to" rental, that we would rent over and over, if there wasn't something else interesting available.

Don't tell anyone else this, but I've probably seen it close to a hundred times. Fit me for a straight jacket, please.

Consider it a labor of love then. If you made a RJ MacReady bust in his bomber jacket, shades, and that big a$$ hat I would buy at least two (I know another guy that would take one without question so I would take one for him), Hellboyce, and you make 4, and that's not even getting outside this thread. Post a pic and a link where they could buy one in the outpost31.com site and you would have another bunch of buyers.

I think they would sell great, maybe some of the independent resin producers could help you out, I know with licensing issues you probably couldn't go through ReelArt or Model Giants like I suggested earlier.

You know, this film itself is not only a personal favorite simply as a great movie, but Rob Bottin's SPFX work was an enormous inspiration for me as a sculptor. It's no secret that my true passion is horror and all things freakish, deformed and rotten.

One of my favorite statues, and yes, Bottin's work was amazing, I love watching the behind the scenes on how he came up with that stuff.

and also the commentary to the film with carpenter and russell is hilarious, you can hear the ice chinking in their glasses as they slowly get pi$$ed
