Just got the news that Universal has approved the Mummy sculpt. Dave sent photos of a painted casting of the original sculpt for me to post.

Here's something to keep you interested:

Ok...now that I've composed myself...(and changed my shorts:o) of course now the questions ...When is the tentative release for this beauty?... Is it 1/8 scale?
Who sculpted it and who's doing the Box Art?....let me catch my breath:p
Mcdee

Thank you Mr. Mcdee sir!! :wave: It's FANTASTIC!!!!
I gotta get me one of dese!!!!!

Chris:woohoo:

Wahey! Moebius did do the sarcophagus after all!:) Looks like a winner to me!

Now that is a seriously cool looking kit! Way to go Frank! :thumbsup:

In the early eighties David Fisher painted one and he added dirt coming out from Karloff's feet. If I can find the photo I'll post it as it had a dark color scheme.

YES!!!!! THANK YOU FRANK!
styrene prices are gonna hike like mad soon, but when the kits look like this, theyre worth it!

That cobra and those tablets look awfully familiar. :)

I was hoping it would be something like the Janus kit. I'm not dissapointed. You will have a real winner Frank!

Cant wait to see what other Universal goodies are in store for us. Great job Frank! This series was long overdue. It will be wonderful to have good styrene kits that arnt just repops of the aurora ( not that those arnt great) but this is a really nice breath of "fresh air'

Wow!

Really nice!

Now thats cool. I wonder if I can kit bash it with my Dark Horse Mummy?

The face on that sarcophagus is an excellent likeness of Boris!! I bet tutankhamen wishes he had the same sculptor!! I don't suppose he really cares too much these days.......

Chris.:)

HOLY SMOKES !!!!! that is super nice . Frank , it just keeps getting better and better .
that is a MUST have kit .
hb

I'm sure some modelers will scratch build a more elaborate funeral room aroung the sarcophagus and mummy.It would be inteesting if the kit was in the same scale as the Three Stooges of Polar Lights.Ha!:)

Holy golden asp, that is outrageous !!!
Got to have it, Got to have it, Got to have it, Got to have it !!!! :thumbsup::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

This is a painted build-up of a resin copy of the original master sculpt, not the actual styrene kit that will be developed from this master sculpt.
The finished styrene kit may be smaller than this master and may differ slightly in some minor details, however the styrene kit will be as close to the pictures as we can make it.

The built-up will be on display at our Wonderfest booth in Louisville on July19 & 20.

Dave

Another beautiful kit to look forward to.
Who sculpted this? Who painted it? Their names should figure prominently in any publicity involved. My hat is off to these artists (and my shoes and socks, my black tee-shirt....oh, hey, maybe I should stop right there).
Anyway - nicely done by all!

This will be a nice alterntive for the people who could not aford or find the Janus kit. Looks great can't wait to get my hands on the new kits

I Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! What a great looking kit! Can't wait to add it to the collection. Thanks for giving us a look-see!

Dave,
Is this at 1/8 scale? What a BEAUTY!!! I will be getting a few of these for sure!

MMM

That's incredible. Can't wait to see how it translates to styrene.

Did I miss the answer to the question about scale?

Bama style cover please!

At this rate, Moebius is going to have to include additional instructions in each kit. Here's a sample.

1. read instructions completely before assembly.
2. test fit all parts without glue.
3. if your wife complains about buying yet another great model....... :thumbsup:

The Resin casting is about 1/6 scale - it stands about 14 inches tall...that translates into about 9 lb of resin!

Dave

Did I hear right?...That this might be released for Halloween??:thumbsup:
Mcdee

What a WOW kit, and fabulous paint job !! :woohoo:

Did I hear right?...That this might be released for Halloween??:thumbsup:
Mcdee

I wish, but I don't see that happening....

Released in time for Christmas or early next year.:confused:

Take note of where the bandages are located on the figure, then compare to the original Aurora Mummy... cool, huh?

the callbacks to the aruora on the figure and base are very cool... very nice homage!
"he went for a little walk!"

who sculpted it?

Gabriel Marquez,, and yeah....it's going to look cool beside the Original, the comparative similarities is a nice touch, and it would be neat if this trend were to adapt itself to upcoming kits as well :thumbsup:
Mcdee

Fantastic looking sculpt!!! Say, Frank, if all of your Universal stuff is going to be this good I hope we see all of the classic Universal monsters stuff redone - Moebius style. Excellent sculpt and paintjob. Keep it comin'!

That is so cool!!! A definte addition t the collection. Can't wait......but will.

Look for release of the Styrene kit in the first half of 2009

Dave

Nice looking kit!!! :thumbsup:

Over at the Clubhouse someone mentioned an "optional" outstretched arm might be included. Yes? No?

Thanks,

James (at Work) :)

There are no optional parts planned for the Mummy.

Dave

I too am excited for this kit, I hope the box is great as well. I suggest whoever does the covers for monster bash or monsters from the vault magazine should be aproached about the box cover. This may be nitpicking on this kit, But i think I would have prefered the mummy walking out of the very well done sarcophagus. It does not give the impresion of a living momment in time. Isnt this mummy suposed to be ready to get up and walk, how is he gonna do that if his legs are all wrapped together. will he hop out of his box and grab the scroll of Toth and Hop out of the tent ? that would change the actors line in the film from "He went for a little walk" to "He went for a little hop"

There are no optional parts planned for the Mummy.

Dave

Thanks for the quick reply.

James (at Work) :)

WOW! :eek:

That would mean an extra Mummy altogether if both options were offered.:freak:

Is this going to be a styrene kit? Looks better than the Janus version!

Yes, this is going to be a real eye popper!:thumbsup: I'm voting for Cdub to do the artwork.

Count me in! :thumbsup:
