kit-junkie 03-13-2008, 09:31 PM Okay guys here it is: Moebius Models (http://www.moebiusmodels.com/monsterScenes.php) :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I'll get a date for you ASAP.
NOTE: I copied this from the other thread and posted it again so it's easy to find.
DENCOMM 03-13-2008, 09:50 PM Great work, K-J !
iamweasel 03-13-2008, 09:58 PM Woooo freakin hooooo!!!!!!!!!!
kit-junkie 03-13-2008, 10:09 PM Great work, K-J !Thank you, Sir. :)
Zorro 03-13-2008, 10:10 PM You certainly can't accuse Frank of being lazy. Geez! It just keeps coming!
LT Firedog 03-13-2008, 10:17 PM I think I'm having some kind of Mind Freak-out or I'm having a stroke.

iamweasel 03-13-2008, 10:20 PM Frank is amazing and I hope we all can keep him in business. He has gone far beyond anything I was expecting at the start. :thumbsup:
mcdougall 03-13-2008, 10:40 PM Excellent news K-J ...I'm buying them all...SO LONG EBAY...I know there were some licensing issues with Vampirella, any chance of that getting resolved?:thumbsup:
Mcdee
Auroranut 03-13-2008, 11:20 PM What probs were there with the Vampirella licensing?
Chris.
Scheisseler 03-14-2008, 12:03 AM I really can't believe this. If I'd been asked to predict the "big news" yesterday, this would never have entered my mind. I fully expected to never see these kits again. Suddenly some of the crazier requests made in these parts don't seem too crazy. If this can happen, anything can!
And some pretty cool stuff on dencomm.net too!
Duck Fink 03-14-2008, 12:32 AM We heard the early rumors. Glad to see these things are going to see the light of day! Thanks Frank! I am good for several each of these little gems.
pugknows 03-14-2008, 12:39 AM Wow, nuff said.

BatToys 03-14-2008, 02:59 AM If they make Vampirella, I hope she's resculpted.
Warren Pubs stupidly gave Aurora the Tom Sutton issues to base Vampi on when it should have been Jose Gonzales or even better Gonzalo Mayo
razorwyre1 03-14-2008, 04:57 AM i remember someone associated with either moebius or p.l. saying that harris comics had said that they would never issue a license for a re-pop of the the aurora vampirella.
PerfesserCoffee 03-14-2008, 07:16 AM Great news!

Hunch 03-14-2008, 09:25 AM This is awesome news! It will be nice to be able to snap them off the sprues without feeling guilty!
I'll be getting lots of these (more than likely in case form ;) ).

xsavoie 03-14-2008, 10:58 AM Let's hope that it won't get censored like in the 1960's and that big bad Nabisco won't cancel it this time.Ha!Wasn't there a prototype of the DUNGEON that was released in resin a few years back.Would it be worth releasing that one too.Hmmm.:p
deadmanincfan 03-14-2008, 11:05 AM Is anybody else out there thinking they should just hand their wallets over to Frank and Scott?:woohoo:

Actually, an outcry like that today would propel visibility that few traditional marketing plans could ever hope to achieve. I refrained from using the "Rated X...for Excitement™" tagline on the box designs but you never know when or where it might resurface. :thumbsup:
The Dungeon™ and The Animal Pit™ are definitely desirable pursuits and many of you know I have box designs completed. There are some issues, though, that need to be resolved but, rest assured, if we can clear those, these would be obvious follow-on pursuits (depending, of course, upon how well these just-announced kits sell).
Stay tuned...
Ravenauthor 03-14-2008, 12:02 PM This is great news. Looking forward to these. That means I can stop bidding on the originals now. Not that they stay within my budget range anyway, so I'm happy. I especially want the hanging cage and pendulum.
kit-junkie 03-14-2008, 12:13 PM I want two of each. One builder, one keeper.
BrianM 03-14-2008, 12:19 PM WOW....thank you, thank you, thank you!
I missed out on the original issues and I'm looking forward to these reissues.
Marko 03-14-2008, 12:55 PM Great news, thanks to all who are involved in this!!
Bwain no more 03-14-2008, 02:20 PM Does anyone have an image of a built up Frankenstein they could post? I never had this one as a kid, but if memory serves, I recall his upper body being exagerated (almost disproportionate to the legs), and there was no jacket, but sort of a pullover tunic similar to what Chaney Jr wore in the opening sequences of "Ghost of Frankenstein".
Thanks
Tom:)
MonsterModelMan 03-14-2008, 02:37 PM Hooray!!! WOW!!! I can't believe this news! These are some of my all time FAVORITE kits that Aurora did...!
I have most of these kits as originals....but there is always room for more!
MMM
Capt. Krik 03-14-2008, 02:41 PM Cool! Never had the original Aurora kits. Looking forward to these coming out.

How's this...
Prince of Styrene II 03-14-2008, 03:24 PM What scale are these going to be in? I'm refering mostly to "The Victim", "Frankenstein" & "The Hanging Cage". Same size as the originals?
DENCOMM 03-14-2008, 03:46 PM What scale are these going to be in? I'm refering mostly to "The Victim", "Frankenstein" & "The Hanging Cage". Same size as the originals?
Yes, these will be faithful 1/13th scale kits so you can easily MIX 'EM and MATCH 'EM. ;)
More details about the kits, packaging, and other cool tidbits coming soon!
spocks beard 03-14-2008, 03:59 PM This is great news! I was really hoping that these kits would be reissued,But never thought it would happen!I missed out on them when they were first produced,But not this time BABY.THANKS MOBIEUS:thumbsup:
Dr. Pretorius 03-14-2008, 05:00 PM coooooooooooool!
Now I won't have to repaint these guys.

I read something about "The Giant Insect" being issued. This is even better than I imagined.
Thanks for the heads up KJ!
:woohoo:
kit-junkie 03-14-2008, 05:10 PM You're welcome!
frankenstyrene 03-14-2008, 08:27 PM But...but those kits have violence, partly clad girls and s-e-x in them! We can't sell that to children!! Won't SOMEBODY think of the children?!? This kind of thing CANNOT be sold in the U.S.! This is the kind of thing that they'd only sell in, I dunno, CANADA or somewhere!
That's it. I'm writing a letter.
frankenstyrene 03-14-2008, 08:31 PM ...:p...
mcdougall 03-14-2008, 08:35 PM Only in Canada you say....pity...:wave:

I didn't realize the potential implications....:confused: I'll cancel immediately....

Or just wait for complaints I guess.....:)
Roy Kirchoff 03-14-2008, 09:08 PM This is great news. Now I can have affordable companions for my Dracula's Daughter in Dr Deadly's Den.
Moebius, no complaints here. :woohoo:

buzzconroy 03-14-2008, 09:19 PM Here you go Tom, did these for a client last summer, the project was half finished at this time.

kit-junkie 03-14-2008, 09:44 PM Buzz, I greatly admire your work. Fantastic stuff, always!
frankenstyrene 03-14-2008, 10:44 PM Or just wait for complaints I guess.....:)
It ain't '71 anymore; the general public's offense and outrage threshold is several orders of magnitude higher now...or lower, depending on how you look at it. Walk thru any Big Lots and you can find toys FAR more suggestive, slutty, gross and violent than the Monster Scenes ever thought of being.
But if anyone DOES complain, just forward their letters to Cherry Valley Road. ;)
Thanks again for all your initiative and work! :thumbsup:

I think I'd kind of like some picketers out in front of the office. Imagine the free publicity!

Agreed! Best marketing angle around these days...

Then why not 'go for the jugular vein' and produce the 'Chamber of Horror' line that Aurora canceled ... ...the Hanging Tree...The Pendulum...the Gallows... the Electric Chair...the Rack...and Ripleys Iron Maiden,might cause quite a stir, as did the first in the series ...the Guillotine... it was all but banned in the 60s', but I don't remember any complaints when Polar lights re-released it in the 90s'. All I do know is that I'd buy 'em all today if they were available... I've got the Hanging Tree (Pythonkits resin) and think it's pretty cool.
Having said all that, I do have to say...if you stopped right now and only made what you have already announced you are going to make...then I could honestly say that you have already surpassed my wildest expectations...thank you :thumbsup:
Mcdee
Auroranut 03-15-2008, 12:30 AM yes, YES,YES!!
Excellent idea Mcdee!!! Maybe we should picket Frank 'till he caves in and does 'em!! :p
Chris.:)
Bwain no more 03-15-2008, 01:51 AM Hey Randy, I already thanked you over on the Clubhouse, but thanks again for posting those, great job as always. Resemblance to Chaney is DEFINITELY there, but things like likeness can ALWAYS be improved (time to get Joy and Tom on the phone;))
