Thought everyone would want to see the finished boxart for the Mummy by Basil Gogos!

I love it!

Very spooky, I love scary Egyptian Stuff..

That looks great Frank!Any thoughts for a print to sell too?I got a collection of Gogos prints,as well as White and Dietz ones too.

I want one.................

WOW! You guys got one of the classic legends to do the artwork...I'm impressed! I'm actually beyond impressed. Thats fantastical..

WOW! Very nice!

Is everyone fully aware of who Basil Gogos is? He did most of the covers for Famous Monsters of Filmland back in the '60's, and was a contemporary of the great James Bama. I happen to know that they were both trained by the same instructor, as a matter of fact, some six years removed. Check out his bio on Wikipedia for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Gogos

Needless to say, I am and always have been a HUGE fan. Thanks, Frank, for bringing us the talent of one of the best ever.

Is it possible? Dare I ask if he might be doing the Frankenstein box art?

AMAZING! Thanks for posting this. I am sooooo looking forward to getting this kit.

It would be very, very cool, if there was a possible chance of getting some signed boxes by the great Gogos too! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
This is awesome!
Thanks Frank! :)

Kitz' :wave:

Not bad,but a dimly lit background with either a wall or corridor with egyptian hieroglyphs would make this box art even more spooky.This way,it gives the impression that there is always something more in the background.Aurora did this with great results.It really adds mystery.:o

Basil Gogos box art!!! Now that IS cool! I'm with otto,will he do the Frankenstein box art too? I always loved his style. Very impressive. Moebius is just full of surprises.:thumbsup:

Awesome!

I want my mummy! :thumbsup:

It is great to see new art from Basil Gogos! His FM cover art really got my attention to buy the magazine. The Mummy never looked better!

Very nice! Though having the edge of the Moebius logo just barely touching the edge of the sarcophagus really bugs the crap out of me. :)

i would buy this kit if it came in a plain brown box .
this is the icing on the cake . :thumbsup:

Awesome. I would buy the kit just for the box. It should be made available as a poster!

Ok I want 3 Kits I think it is just perfect for over 2,00 yrs old! What is the Variant of the kit going to be Frank? Ya know Glow or maybe Frank and Artist Could SIGN IT!!!!:)

Very cool, Gogos is one of the best.

Monster Model Review

Glad you finally left the cat out of the bag Frank!
This is an incredible coup for Moebius!

Thanks everyone! Kit should be leaving China in the next few weeks, we're a little behind on schedule as usual. No posters at this point, as we are only able to use it as boxart currently. We are working on it though. There will be a variant, and I'll announce soon!

Thanks for posting, looks beautiful. It should be a great kit!!

Beautiful and what a stroke of genius getting the Famous Monsters guy to do the box:thumbsup:

Awesome packaging for an awesome kit!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Chris.:)

Could someone please tell me if this is new packaging (which is very cool) for an existing model or a brand new kit. I'm just getting into this monster stuff so I don't know.
Thanks, Mike.

Absolutely Brand New Moebius Kit :thumbsup:

PS...Moebius is also putting out a Brand New Karloff Frankensteins' Monster...going to be a Great Year !

I hope I don't get this thread closed by saying this--not sure whether it's been discussed before or what--but publishing posters of Moebius box art (Seaview, FS, LIS, etc.) seems to be a fine idea! I have a good friend who's an artist, so I know the problems involved in producing a print (not as easy as it appears), but if this could happen, boy oh boy....

PF - besides the expense of publishing a poster, contracts these days are written specifically to preclude use beyond the narrow scope of the license.
We've had hints on the board as to some of the issues Frank has had to deal with concerning licenses - it has only gotten stricter over the years.

Thanks for the info. I figured as much. If it was easy, we'd already have them. Great artwork on all Moebius kits, just the same!

Sweet Betsy from Pike, BASIL GOGOS ART!!!!! WHAAAAAA!!!:woohoo:

Outstanding! Like many, I've been a fan of Mr. Gogos' artwork ever since I first discovered Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, so to have his art adorning the box for this highly-anticipated and remarkable kit is truly the icing on the cake for me. :thumbsup:

Frank-
REAL box art lives again! I'm getting it just for the box...INCREDIBLE!
Hope he does Frankenstein!!!
Wow!
Gary:thumbsup:
