No. That's much more likely an Aurora Lone Ranger. Very nicely modified.

Is it just me or does that horse look exactly like the Sleepy Hollow one?

The Sleepy Hollow horse was struck and retooled from an Aurora with a lot of added "fur", for lack of a better word.

Ah, so that explains it! I see what you mean about the fur. A bit heavy on the SH horse!

Well... he was a Demon Horse from Hell with glowing red eyes and jumped through a blood soaked tree trunk oozing with festering putrid human heads...give him a break...man you should see my hair in the morning:p

It's a modified Aurora Lone Ranger. See it here:

I know that generally speaking Disney licenses would be pretty cost prohibitive for a small business like Moebius... However.... a character such as THE SCARECROW might be considered obscure enough to the general public that Disney might consider it ( issuing a cheap license for merchandising of this character ) as almost cost effective 'advertising' for their coming dvd release in November.

Yeah, I know it's a long shot - but, wouldn't it be great?

The Mouse doesn't give anything away. And won't issue a license without receiving several organs, a couple of limbs and the first two children.

Wonder if they'd allow it as a Disney Store/catalog exclusive?

depending how expensive W.B would be it would be cool to see some of the spooks from scooby doo as done in the movie.those date way back.

I would love to see some classic sci-fi designs finally rendered in styrene: Gort from Day the Earth Stood Still, The Time Machine, The Space Ark, and Martian War Machines from George Pal's movies, the Proteus from Fantastic Voyage, and the Icarus from Planet of the Apes.

That's way out of line there! The Mouse issues several thousands of licenses to various manufacturers every year! :mad:









They only take one kid, not two!
I would die for a new Martian War Machine, ALIENS APC and Dropship, and just about anything from any of the '50s scifi movies!

Thanks, Chris!

I believe that they are all images owned by the respective estates of the deceased if not living and all would require a license if their likenesses are used. Surely some of them could be had at a very reasonable price, I think.

I'm thinking his molds made a freight train take a dirt road resulting in the accident that destroyed so many of the Aurora molds. :cry:

First, I've got to agree that the LIS Chariot and Space Pods are going to be hot. Their at the top of my to get list.

Second, I'm agreeing with everyone else on doing '50/'60s sci-fi space ships and such. The retro look is so cool.

Three, I know this is separate from Moebius, but I'd love to see you and the gentleman from Glencoe (I'm sorry, I've forgotten his name) get together and re-pop the 50's spaceships designed by Werner Van Braun, Willy Ley and the others.

Nick Argento.

Glencoe's still producing the ones that have been in their catalog, the UFO, the Convair Manned Observation Satellite, the Lunar Lander, the Retriever Rocket, the Nuclear Space Station, and the 3-Stage Ferry Rocket. He may have some other tooling, some kits like the Solar Space Station were announced but never produced. But if they weren't made, chances are the tooling still needs a lot of work. I would love it if we can see all the old space concept kits reissued!

The only ones I've been able to find lately are the Convair Manned Observation Satellite and the 3-Stage Ferry Rocket. All the rest as far as I can tell are no longer available. If the others are available, I'd love to know where I can get them. Especially the Moon Liner/Mars Liner kit.
And I'd like to see the ones that weren't produced too, like the Solar Space Station and the Convair Manned Lunar Reconnaissance Vehicle.

If I remember correctly, one of the space ships that was released had marks on the surface from rusty molds. Even after cleanup they weren't quite right. Maybe the planned releases couldn't be derusted enough to make the parts presentable?

Chris.:)

Trek Ace

That was true of the Von Braun Space Station, or Nuclear Space Station as Glencoe calls it.

The rest of the molds are fine. Even with the rust marks, it's still a kit worth having.

I agree with all the proposals for the Von Braun models.

But, pleeeeease, recover the AMT Man form U.N.C.L.E. car, that is extremely cool!!! It just appeared in the shelves for a very short time and then was vanished for good, I have one but I made when I was 12 or 13, and was awful... Now I see it and realize the classic I ruined... :cry:

Pleeeease, in human kind' sake (as Daffy Duck could say...) recover that piece of engineering!!!!

Best regards,

Alberto

I most defiantly agree.
(reissue) the AMT Man form U.N.C.L.E. car, that is extremely cool!!!
What would be even cooler would be to release it in it's last configuration. That is with the Piranha drag car and trailer.

You can pick the Glencoe Von Braun kits up on Ebay fairly easily but the only one's I'm interested in seeing reissued in the near future are the Nuclear powered Space Station (I'd like to see the moulds cleaned up as the recent reissues were still pretty terrible with all those rust marks) and the Star Probe space station. Again, all the others seem to be easy to get on Evilbay.

Small brain seizure here...has anybody suggested Bela Lugosi and Matt Willis (the werewolf character) from RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE? I know, there's the issue of dealing with the Lugosi family...

Bat-philes have their new 1/18 Batmobile. Now, I want a "Breaking Bad" meth lab RV- complete with Pyrexware, burnt trousers, and gas-poisoned banger figure running down the middle of the street. What would Aurora do? They'd do this kit. Any question about that?
