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.
