The Thing: Human Miniatures Set contains a set of eight highly detailed character miniatures, to use in place of the Characters standees you can find into the base game box. These miniatures represent the 8 main characters seen in the movie, such as Macready or Doctor Blair.

Using these Character miniatures in place of the standees enriches the game, giving it a more scenic aspect and a stronger impact to the gameplay.

Each miniature is supplied on a 25mm base.

Great miniatures for a great game

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

The alien miniatures are not necessary, but these are great and worth getting. Reasonably priced too.

Missing Childs

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

The minis are fine for the most part. There are a couple wearing or holding things that don't really make sense but it's fine. They only have 8 of the characters. There is no Childs. This guy is probably 2nd most important of the group. It's missing Fuchs, Palmer and Doc as well. I feel like I would dump Bennings for Childs or anyone for Childs. There are like the Wizkids minis and I hope to paint them. If you are a fan then get them and they are probably a 3.5-4.

Makes the game better

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

The Thing is already a great game but the miniatures add so much more. Great detail and quality.

Great detail. Next to no mold lines. Having a blast painting them.

The Thing Miniatures

Average rating of 3 out of 5 stars

Huge The Thing fan. Also have the Mondo version and the Who Goes There adaptation of the game. I found the miniatures underwhelming for this price point. I would recommend as a huge fan of the franchise or if you HAVE to use miniatures. I'd give them a 3.5 stars, so they are not horrid, definitely feel fragile too. I have the Dark Tower miniature set and those are so beefy comparatively. If you are making an impulse buy, wait for a sale.

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

I bought these models more as a fan of the IP than actually playing the game so take my feedback with a grain of salt. The detail is good and the likenesses are solid, as always theres some mold lines and flash to clean up but overall good. I would have given 5 stars but Macready doesn't have a sombrero on. Clear miss.

Exceptional miniatures for the game The Thing.

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Awesome miniatures from the game The Thing. They look just like the actors and characters from the movies!

Well-made miniatures

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

The miniatures seem to be professionally sculpted. I also like the idea that they're not Politically Correct. They're not afraid to show that the humans were primarily white males.
