Bennings' transformation into "The Thing" in John Carpenter's The Thing is one of the more disturbing and iconic moments in the film. After being infected by the alien organism, Bennings is found mid-transformation in the snow by the other characters.
His hands are grotesquely elongated and claw-like, a clear sign that something monstrous is replacing his human form. The eerie, most unsettling aspect of Bennings' "Thing" form is his face, which still looks somewhat like him, but his eyes are empty, and his mouth emits a guttural, inhuman howl, a mix of agony and something alien trying to imitate human behavior. He kneels eerily still in the snow, a half-finished copy of the man he once was, before being destroyed by his horrified comrades.This scene perfectly encapsulates the horror of The Thing, where even the most familiar faces can turn into monstrous imitations.
Cast in solid resin and individually hand painted. Sits 4" tall
