Beautiful work, McDee!
Did you scratch build that whole dungeon diorama, or is it a composite of other kits?
Looking forward to the final result!

Thanks guys!...the dungeon is a couple of Resin Bases I got from 'Monsters on the Shelf' (The Super Dungeon and the Abbey Ruins) The Forgotten Prisoner is an Original Aurora and the Ghost (Monarch), Frankenstein will of course be from Moebius...I might add a Monster from Polar Lights just to have a Dio that represents all my favorite Kit companies...just not sure which Monster to use? ...any suggestions???...I'll post more pictures as I get the New Kits:thumbsup:

Yep, Paid for mine from Steve at CultTvman yesterday. I take the week of Halloween off for vacation every year and I'll be spending some quality time with the family including uncle Boris a.k.a. the Moebius Frankenstein. After the wife and i get home from Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios we'll pop in a tape of old uncle Boris and she'll fall asleep and I'll be happily working on my newest monster! Funny but arround Halloween I dont feel like i'm in my fifties! But then again the wife says I should be getting to my second childhood quite soon! Hey, I just tell her at least my hobbies keep me out of the bars and such! :thumbsup:

I don't know.
Adding another figure might clutter it up too much.
Maybe you could just use some stuff from the customizing kits.
That would get you some PL stuff in there without cramming too much in.

Cool suggestion Tay666 :thumbsup: I think you're right...another figure may be too much, but I've got a bunch of PL Customizing kits that should fit the bill!!!

Does anyone know what the differences are between the orange box glow Franky and the frightening lightning strikes regular box Franky if any?

Thanks for any help,

Jeff

I think the non glow parts in the orange box frankie are a darker colour, dk grey or brown? Not 100% sure though...

I ordered one of these to collect with the other two, Frightening Lightning Edition and the Regular one...I'm a sucker for Varients :p
Mcdee

You and me both! :thumbsup: Unfortunately I wasn't able to afford this one. :( Maybe I will be able to pick one up later.

The ad reads as follows: Limited to initial preorders only! This version is molded in black, with head, hands, feet, chain, rock, button and belt in glow.

Mcdee

So not to hi-jack the thread...you ARE talking about a different Frankenstein..the Glow Frankie..right?
So this is a pre-order deal only? After those are filled...nadda?
WOW...that would make this a very limited run and collectors item!

I think that this thread was talking about the regular Frankenstein...1/8 scale version...
Can't wait to get a few of those!

Yeah sorry MMM I kinda hijacked my own thread and went sideways:p The Franky that I referred to as the Halloween Edition is The Big Frankie here's a link http://www.clubmoebius.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=1470
But my original announcement was for the 1/8 scale Karloff Frankenstein Monster...right here http://www.clubmoebius.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=909
not to be confused with this one http://www.clubmoebius.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=909CT
This one is the Chiller Exclusive which is a Frightening Lightning Version...
Oh hell now I'm getting confused:wave:

The witch(es) might be an interesting addition; if you had three, you would have a little Hamlet scenario going on. Of course, you could always add on to your dungeon. You'll end up with a Monster Condo, but what a cool and unique Halloween display!

Looking forward to the final result - in no small part because that means we'll finally have The Ghost in our eager little hands!

You know, mrmurph, that's not a bad idea, adding another base behind the doorway that Franky will be entering and outside to the left...you just gave me an idea that I like...back to work for me:thumbsup:

Exciting news! From what I have seen, it should be a great model. The only things I noticed from the photos at Moebius were that the Frankenstein monster's legs on the model seem a tad too long or spindly and the feet are positioned pointing unnaturally perfectly straight compared to the photograph of the actual Karloff monster entering the room upon which the model is based (see attached pic). Small nitpicks I know that may not exist in the final product or could probably be fixed easily if need be.

I've been comparing both and wondering if its simply the camera angle that is making the kit seem elongated. The shot of Karloff is fairly low and the Moebius shot is from a higher perspective. It would make a difference. The feet do look too straight, but as mentioned, these are easy changes. I'm looking forward to getting it.

Looks like there might be a slight delay of a week,nothing serious...
Oct 20, 2009: We've been told there was a delay in shipping the new Moebius Frankenstein and the Glow Big Frankie. They are now expected to be in stock Oct. 26 or so. I'd hoped to ship this week, so I apologize for the delay!

This is from the CultTVman site....I also see they have Sinbad up now for pre-order...oops wrong forum...my bad;)

It's a little delay at our Seattle warehouse. They have been moving the last 2 weeks, and it has put everything behind. The kits arrived in port on the 9th, but no where for them to go!
