Hey guys and gals :wave:

It was mentioned that some of us are tired of wish lists in every thread and others can't resist expressing their wishes for particular kits.

So, Let's use this thread as our master wish list. It'll serve several purposes.

1) Gives vendors and Moebius a single place to look at what we're wishing for in the case they actually want to read this.

2) it'll keep the other threads clean

3) It gives us a place to talk about any kit, kit subject, theme, etc. We will all know where to go and any kit subject can be talked about here. Those of us who don't want to read wishes, can ignore this thread.

C'mon, iet's give this thread a chance and see how it works.

I'll start it off by wishing for a 12 - 18 inch wide Jupiter II from Lost in Space TOS. A single piece upper hull with a separate window frame, open ports with clear windows and more accurate interior pieces than the PL kit offered.

Well here goes...The COMPLETE series of The Chamber of Horrors line that Aurora canceled out on after the Guillotine.... and a NEW Haunted House in styrene...twice the size of the Addams Family HH,(with trees Ghosts... Grave yard...real spooky stuff) and I'd like to see Box Art Bases for all the Monstermobiles... maybe even interlocking ? Now I'm getting greedy...I love this Master List...Old McDonald you've done it again...I'll be back!:thumbsup:
Mcdee

PS: Mr.PM MODERATOR ...Could this Post be a Sticky ?

A new, large styrene Vampirella. A new sculpt of Rat Fink. New fresh looks of some old favorites. I will buy most any new figure kit.

Hello...
The Master Wish List is a terrific idea. I'm guilt of going off topic I admit. My wish list:

"Land of the Giants"...
- A Spindrift model (12 inches long would be fine); maybe deluxe with a crew and campsite.

"Lost In Space"...
- I second the 12 - 18 inch wide Jupiter 2 (original series) idea, with better viewport frame and better upper deck. But, if not this, then I'd like the pilot version style and full launch complex (Gemini XII, launch cradle and tower/tractors) in one kit or in two kits.

- Accurate first season crash site base to fit the new kit (whatever it is: a Jupiter or a Gemini), maybe with some of the equipment you see: force field unit, laser drill, garden, table and chairs, and so on.

- Jimmy Hapgood's Capsule

- Fuel Barge/Weather station F12 (say, 12+ inches wide, with mini-jupiter 2)

- Tucker's Starship

- Figures of the crew, Bloop and Robot

- "The Derelict" -or- Prison Ship from "The Condemned of Space"

- Mini-versions of the LIS alien ships and fuel barge in a kit.

"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"...
- Smaller Seaview in a Monster diorama

- Underwater Lab as seen often in Voyage episodes (perhaps in scale with the 39 inch seaview model)

- Futuristic jet aircraft seen often used as stock footage.

Regards...
Jim

Babylon 5 kits... in particular, a Minbari cruiser, White Star, a Vorlon transport, and an Earth Alliance Omega class destroyer.

...The COMPLETE series of The Chamber of Horrors line...

I agree. (heh-heh)

1) 1/32 Scale Spindrift, with interior, crew, passengers and operable sliding hatch.

2) 1/32 Scale Flying Sub, with interior & crew.

3) 1/24 Scale VTTBOTS Diving Bell, with crew and operable hatch.

4) 18" Diameter Jupiter 2 with upper deck interior and crew in freezing tubes.

5) 1/6 scale Time Tunnel Diorama; Doug & Tony standing on the ramp within 4 rings of the tunnel structure, with a clear backdrop that has a circular time tunnel decal on it, which could be illuminated.

6) 1/32 Scale Moonbus

7) 1/32 Scale Proteus

More figure kits.

(1) Repops of - Confederate Raider, Apache Chief, Pirates Men from U.N.C.L.E, etc.

(2) New Irwin kits of - LIS, Voyage, Land o Ginats, etc. (Fig kits or Vehicle is OK) maybe a new diorama of small people and giant ants (ants, not ant) or something like that

(2b) The Time Tunnel idea is cool, but I would have them jumping through the spinning oval, (not in it though) with the computer room on one side, and on the other side NAZI soliders with WWII landscape.

(3) Snoopy repops of all the old kits.

(4) Super Heroes - I love these kits, I just do. So, More of these. Repop Wonder Woman, Penguin and get the lic for more DC figs, becuse we really, really need a great awesome representation of GREEN LANTERN!

That's all for now. :)

1) 1/32 Scale Spindrift, with interior, crew, passengers and operable sliding hatch.

2) 1/32 Scale Flying Sub, with interior & crew.

3) 1/24 Scale VTTBOTS Diving Bell, with crew and operable hatch.

4) 18" Diameter Jupiter 2 with upper deck interior and crew in freezing tubes.

5) 1/6 scale Time Tunnel Diorama; Doug & Tony standing on the ramp within 4 rings of the tunnel structure, with a clear backdrop that has a circular time tunnel decal on it, which could be illuminated.

A new, large styrene Vampirella. A new sculpt of Rat Fink. New fresh looks of some old favorites. I will buy most any new figure kit.

I sure wouldn't mind this one. I'd love to see a line of sexy women in styrene. I'd could go for a quite a few examples of women from the sci-fi worlds/fantasy worlds.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention:


MOEBIUS, FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON ANYTHING HERE

an afordable gantry for the PL Jupiter 2, nothing against Henry's just a little out of my price range...............cause i need a **** load (-:

I agree. (heh-heh)

I just checked the 'Torture Scenes' site: the Chamber of Horrors (bottom of page)
http://www.dencomm.net so these look like they are a consideration.(yay) now the inevitable question ...how soon? .....

....and Marko...yeah ,..a Vampirella (1/8th scale to fit in with the Aurora monster models) , complete with base...would be 'to die for'....Man I love this thread !:thumbsup:
Mcdee

So, Let's use this thread as our master wish list.

I'd like to think this thread would work but I can still see it getting out of hand once it reaches more than a few pages.
What might work is if someone on the site has the necessary computer skills to create some kind of rolling tally of all the kits voted for.
If the subject with the most votes stayed at the top of the list then it would soon become obvious which were the subjects that needed kitting.
Anybody here know how to do this?

I would like something that has not been produced.... Space Ghosts' Phantom Cruiser.

BABYLON 5!!!

Vorlon ships, Minbari ships, Shadow ships, and the rest. I don't require BIG, if they are detailed. The original models existed as computer files, as no physical models were done except the Star Fury. Maybe a model of Kosh 2 in his war armor encounter suit.

1st version of the Polaris 1 from "Space Explorers" which is longer and more sleek than the 'other model makers' version.

How about a 12" saucer from Day the earth stood still?? Lots of cool clear parts inside!

Speaking of Henry's Launch Gantry....
I'm building one right now...to be used with a PL J2 that will have all his decals too. That kit is wonderful. i don't see a way to make it better, or more accurate. If I were gonna scratch build one, it would end up being done like Henry's kit. It's REALLY ACCURATE TOO! All ready for your Polar lights Jupiter 2 with Henrys decals, a fusion core and bubble lighting kit, the rare "Flying Frets" J2 Crew, some landing gear feet, Gear wells, a chair(year 1) or two chairs(Yer 2-3). Henry's kit makes a very sturdy and easy to superdetail model. I looked at the real tower from those images snuck out from the sci-fi museum, and re-watched "Reluctant Stowaway" for probably the 70th time since it first aired. I was taking notes of where all the spot lights are on the Gantry, and light towers, and trying to figure out an elevator box thing too..... Gotta make some lil decals maybe, some telephones, fuel, and electrical connections, bla-bla-bla-bla.

Gimme a month or two to get R dunn, and Henry can show you the photos.

Henry should make a few kits with parts sized up for the 2 footers out there, and I have scaled up a 'leg' to fit my 4 foot Jupiter 2. Shame the 4 footer is so heavy, I 'd like to hae done the Gantry in plastic instead of plywood.

Here's mine.......

FLASH GORDON ROCKETSHIPS from the 1930s serials ---- ZARKOFFS SHIP, MINGS SHIP, and the other one which I can't remember the title of, all very similar. Clear or tinted cockpit windows with figures and cockpit, interior detail.

SPACE 1999 EAGLE --- with TRANSPORTER, FREIGHTER, LABORATORY pod variations possibly 24 inch (double the size of the 12 inch Product Enterprise ones). Clear or tinted windows on the cockpit and pod, with cockpit detail, figures and pod interior.

2001 DISCOVERY, ARIES ---- same interior details as above

DISNEY NAUTILUS ---- same interior details as above

um, sungod, didnt you forget one? ;)

make that a third vote for vampirella. a proper kit is way past due.

the one subject i would dearly love to see done in styrene is the george pal version of the time machine. real molded styrene is the right medium for a kit of this particular subject.

i completely agree with miniature sun. i hope the forum's software is up to it. if not maybe some sort of link to another site where the tally could be kept, then posted here.

Took five minutes to think hard and narrowed it down to these:

AURORA: As many of the Aurora Wildlife kits as possible...but with a new Buck Deer (jumping over a log or something, not just boringly trotting along)...and maybe some brand new critters. Younger kids are always suckers for animals, y'know; hook 'em while they're young and they'll build kits for years.

The two Aurora Pirate kits, perhaps plus some similar historical figures?

AURORA-ISH: Wild Wild West (the original and only) James West, Artemus Gordon and Dr. Loveless.

MARVEL: Silver Surfer & Galactus (Big G around the size of Big Franky? Heck yeah I'd buy it)

BUT...if I had to narrow down my wish list to just one area, I'd LOVE to see this:

All new takes on classic literature characters (public domain, many of them?) as they're described in the books instead of any movies they may have appeared in.

Maybe the kitmaker could even go in with a publisher to have an inexpensive paperback or illustrated version of the book included in the box? Double selling point there: get kids to read AND build kits. Win-win for everyone.

Anyway, here's my lineup off the top of my head - feel free to add to it:

Frankenstein
Dracula
A Christmas Carol (Marley appearing to Scrooge)
Last of the Mohicans
Capt. Ahab
Martian tripod
Time Machine (Pal's would be cool for this one)
Wizard of Oz
Edgar Allan Poe (the Red Death slaying Prince Prospero...Hop-Frog hanging from the chain, about to torch the king and his pals...Roderick Usher and his sister...Tell-Tale Heart...

This is my fav idea, but too limited appeal? Yeah, prolly :( But trying it could make a difference in some young lives.

BTW: Between Moebius and Monarch, more is coming out than I could have possibly asked for. If you guys never make another kit after whatever is in the pipe now, you've already earned a spot right up next to Aurora in the annals of modeling history, imo. And in some ways you've surpassed them. I'll never stop saying "thanks!"

PS Great thread idea, McD!

That's some fine thinking there Frankenstyrene!! Really good ideas!!:thumbsup:

Do you mean the big G himself by any chance? Mr 98 Godzilla!

I like to see the Monsters of the Movies line Continued with Moleman,Metaluna mutant,Gort,Morlock,and these that were going to come out but Aurora went under and these never made it to kit form:(.See pics below:)!
http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL978/3860015/8675648/311090262.jpg
http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL978/3860015/8675648/311090261.jpg

What about the Proteus from Fantastic Voyage? Also Jonny Quest figures (Jonny, Haji, Race, Dr. Quest, and Bandit), Herculoids, Thundarr The Barbarian (okay, long walk down Memory Lane!) for the cartoons. Alien would be a good license to pursue.

Second to the bigger Eagle, although, I'd go no bigger than 1/48th, say about 18"-20". Also second the big Flying Sub. I'd also like to see some kits from neglected 50s movies, like Them!, and the Metaluna Mutant from This Island Earth, and Gort and Klaatu from The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Just, please no Bf-109s, Tigers, or Sherman tanks!

The Groovie Goolies!!!

Chris.:)

Do you mean the big G himself by any chance? Mr 98 Godzilla!
yeah it seemed a bit funny that you'd make an entire thread for it, then neglect to put it in your wish list entry....
(of course with my memory these days, ive got no room to talk....)

I tend to think of Aurora as the creator of a number of lines of kits (which isn't exactly true).

For me there were the Monsters, Comic book characters, TV related, and Robots (and some of these overlap).

On the Monster front, Moebius have re-released Mr. Hyde, and Gigantic Frankenstein is on his way, pretty much completing the recent re-issues of the Aurora classics.

Monarch extended the Monster line with Nosferatu, and The Ghost Of Castel-Mare, and now Moebius adds to the line with The Invisible Man. As a further extension of the Monster line, I'd like to see the Metaluna Mutant in 1/8 scale, the same as the Aurora classic monsters.

For the comic book characters, I'd like to see a repop of The Penguin in 1/8 scale, and a Frank Gorshin Riddler and Julie Newmar Catwoman.

On the TV related front we seem to be pretty well served with LIS Pod and Chariot models imminent, along with a new Seaview.

Truth be told, Aurora's "Robot" line only had one entry, the B-9 from Lost In Space. Polar Lights added Robby The Robot to the line, and I'd like to see Gort and the Metropolis robot added to the line.

Glenn :)

Babylon 5:
Station @ around 24" or more
Whitestar @ 12" to 18"

2) 1/32 Scale Flying Sub, with interior & crew.

3) 1/24 Scale VTTBOTS Diving Bell, with crew and operable hatch...

I think the diving bell should be in the same scale as the flying sub, just as the LiS chariot and pod are in the same scale. Also, the flying sub should feature the remote claw, and "landing gear" detail- configurable by the modeler.

I think the diving bell should be in the same scale as the flying sub, just as the LiS chariot and pod are in the same scale. Also, the flying sub should feature the remote claw, and "landing gear" detail- configurable by the modeler.

I took that into consideration, but because the Diving Bell is so much smaller than the Flying Sub, 1/32 scale would make it about the size of a nectarine, while at 1/24, it would be the size of a grapefruit. If the Flying sub were to be made at 1/24, it have a tremendous 21" diameter, but at 1/35, it would have a comfortable 14" diameter (like the LM version). :hat:

Yeah, what you said. I would be happy to pass the torch to anyone who can figure out how to develope a running tally on a news board. But for now, I wanted to give everyone a place to voice both realistic and fantasy kit wishes.

You never know what might get made. I still have my PL Jetson's kit with the pre-painted figures. I would have never guessed that kit would have been made but it was.

Here, Moebius and vendors who sell Moebius kits can keep reading this thread, know what we want, and maybe get something even if it might not show up for a few years. I can't think of a better way to this. If it were possible, we could have a poll of every kit we imagine and run a vote.

Apologies if it seemed like I was running your thread down...not my intention...but you see what I mean, after about four or five pages of suggestions a lot of good ideas start to get lost in the noise.

Myself, I'd like to see an Aurora style Spacesuited figure from Alien,maybe with a selection of heads.
I'd also like to see some of the Aurora figures re-issued, namely The Penguin, Wonder Woman, The Men From Uncle, The Pirates, Sporting Series.....

Not at all, no insult taken. Just making conversation.:thumbsup:
I, too, am a fan of the older pre-released kits. I can re-live my childhood but I'm hoping for improved molds using today's mold making technologies for better fit n finish.

Being older now, I'm a fan of the sexy female figure kits (maybe a Frazetta line?) and still a favorite of the older space ships. In addition to those already mentioned here, I'd like the following simple but good looking kits to display:

1) Ship from Destination Moon
2) Ship from When Worlds Collide
3) Saucer from Earth vrs. the Flying Saucers
4) Martian War Machine
5) finally, a 50's Buck Rogers rocket ship

all done in styrene about a foot in length. Great shelf conversation pieces. :cool:

2001:
1/24 Moon Bus
1/72 Orion Shuttle w/interior
1/48 Aries 1B w/interior
1/12 Space Pod w accurate interior & seated Bowman
1/6 figure of Bowman in spacesuit.
Discovery, around 30" long or so.
Space Station 1, 18" diameter

Discovery, around 30" long or so.
Space Station 1, 18" diameter

I second those...surely the 2001 licence must be fairly cheap by now?

Space Ghost figure and Phantom Cruiser...Werewolf of London...and I have to agree with Gary Makatura on this one...Dracula's Daughter...

These are total long shots, but what the heck...

Firefly/Serenity -
*Serenity 18" to 24" w/ spinning rotor and lighting options
*Mule (from the movie) 1/24 scale w/figures
*3 figure kit 1/8th scale w/ Mal, Zoe, and Jane in action!

Starship Troopers -
*Rodger Young 18" to 24"
*Dropship 1/72 or 1/48
*TAC Fighter 1/72 or 1/48th
*Figure kit 1/12th scale w/ Troopers and Bug ...and the bug's winning!

TOS - BSG -
*Colonial Shuttle 1/72 or 1/48
*Colonial Landram 1/72 or 1/48

Alien/Aliens- (ya, I know, these have been done already, but either too expensive or not very satisfying ...and yes, even though I already have the multiples of the Halcyon kits, I'd buy 'em again if done more smartly)
*Nostromo 18" to 24"
*Mini Nostromo w/ refinery 18" to 24"
*Sulaco 18" to 24"
*Narcissus 1/72 w/ interior (done Aurora style)

Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean - repops of MPC kits
*Condemned to chains forever
*Dead man's raft
*Dead men tell no tales
*Fate of the mutineers
*Freed in the nick of time
*Ghost of the treasure guard
*Hoist high the jolly roger

Disney's Haunted Mansion - repops of MPC kits
*Escape from the crypt
*The vampires midnight madness
*The grave robber's reward
*Play it again Sam

Gee this is becoming another wish list free for all- I doubt Frank will consider 98% of the way out suggestions posted here! I do love alot of them but in all reality sales on many of these would be limted to a small room full of hard -core guys and that is about it!:)
However , read all the posts and you can see many kits repeated, these are the same ones I'm sure Frank is going to do- LIS Jupiter 2, Proteus, etc. More MONSTER SCENES say I! LOL!
Anyone for a Blade Runner SPINNER is 1/16 and 1/25?
POTA Icarus PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
My concern that runs deep is Frank needs to be adding FIGURES in these interiors of upcoming kits- heck he did it on the Seaview. They breathe life into each vehicle...
Gary:hat:

..and the 2001 license problem has been discussed endlessly- a very sad sad story that is depriving us of the ships from the greatest of all sci-fi films...(sigh)
Gary

Like the idea of the Whitestar!

1) The Penguin (repop of 60s Aurora kit)

2) A new design of the classic Aurora Batman kit, preferably one without a tree. If legally possible, one based on the TV series.

3) A new design of the classic Aurora Superman kit, preferably one depicting George Reeves.

4) 1/8 Aurora-style kits of, instead of generic Frankenstein, Frankenstein from Son of Frankenstein, Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, Ghost of Frankenstein, and House of Frankenstein (Glenn Strange).

5) A mini Big Franky---same box, parts, etc., only smaller.

6) Kits based on characters (and vehicles) from the film Grindhouse.

1/8th scale Historic figure kits. No license hassels, and a crossover Military modeler market. You can get nice resin kits but dey is sooo pricey.

Rondo Hatton as the Creeper from The Pearl of Death

Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) from the same film.

Not at all, no insult taken. Just making

Hi.
I like these suggestions. The classic rocketships and spaceships are a great idea...12 inches in length is a good size (probably would be a more reasonable price than larger kits would be, and would take up less space).

I'd like to add:
- Rocketship from "It: The Terror From Beyond Space" (was also used in other movies/Tv shows)
- Mars rocket from "Conquest of Space"

Jim

Rondo Hatton as the Creeper from The Pearl of Death

Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) from the same film.


I second the motion for Basil Rathbone and my all-time favorite scene stealer Nigel Bruce. While at it, Peter Lorre as Mr. Moto, Warner Oland as Charlie Chan and Humphrey Bogart as Phillip Marlow. Come to think of it, Peter Falk as lt. Columbo in his rumpled raincioat, cigar between his fingers while rubbing his forehead and pointingwith his other hand as if saying, "oh, and one more thing...":thumbsup:

My list is much more meagre, but just as sincere:
Serenity/Firefly
Nostromo
BR Spinner
and... movie 8-window Seaview !!!!!!!!!

I will be happy with any of the stuff that these fine companies can provide for us.:thumbsup:



L8r :wave:

Dave

how many of you here played the Wing Commander pc games? I could go for those ships, especially the ones Mark Hamil flew. The capital ships like the Tiger Claw were good too.

I like Razor's idea of a styrene Time Machine. I have this older resin version. It was a real challenge.

1. Anything 2001
2. Anything Pirates or Haunted Mansion
3. 1/16 Barris Batmobile
4. Ben Affleck - Reindeer Games
5. Gamera vs Legion
