THE THING resin action figure series: wave one will be available for preorder starting Friday, November 13th at 8 PM CST. Standard figures are priced at $50 USD while deluxe figures will set you back $65 USD. Or nab all three for $150 USD! Each figure in this wave is super limited to 10 pieces in the original colours and styles. Look for shipping to begin in early to mid-December.
