Has it been updated? I don't see any difference, just the same old green background it has been. Even tried clearing the cache in my web browser.

It's up as I write this. And Scott McKillop just sent me a picture of the Nosferatu parts tooling, which you can see here:

The kit's now slated to come out in June, several months earlier than expected! Woo hoo!

Me too ! OOOH I got such a thrill :tongue: seeing the actual for-really birth of a new kit. Can't wait to get my grubby little mitts on mine. Already have a few ideas on embelishments.

Having built most of Aurora's "monster" kits in the late 60's and early 70's, I'm really glad to see companies like Monarch creating new kits to go along with those old Aurora kits. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Monarch will have to offer in the future.

RIGHT ON MONARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not exactly a movie I care for, personally, but hey! it's a styrene plastic all assembly kit to actually glue together, paint up and display with the original (hehem..PL's) Aurora 1/8 scale monster models!!!!

WAY COOOL!!!!!!!!!!

wow...I just checked the site again and the image for the Nosferatu kit has changed on the products page. Looks like the box art? NICE ARTWORK! Blends right in with the original aurora stuff!

Great! I Wonder if the "Box Art" is Chris White? (I like it) I already have plans on the build up of this one. Looking forward to more from them.

No, not me - most likely Gary Makatura.

Not sure what your problem may be over there. Try clearing your cache and see if that does anything. Box art is ver nice indeed!

I would like to see bigger pics of the tooling and box art.I wonder if it will come with an impressive base.Sure would love to see drawings of the Nosferatu figure and base for the kit as well.I wonder what the two next kits will be.Did you guys see the goofy drawing of Franky in the contacting them section.Love the ham radio.

The box art should be by Gary Makatura, whose Aurora-style paintings of the Invisible Man, the Fly and the Mole Man graced some Stratton-Holland fantasy boxes a few years back. Some of those boxes are still available through Digital Masterpiece:

Some close-ups of Gary's work:

Gary's work is part of what inspired Scott McKillop to start up Monarch.

The INVISIBLE MAN is really as close to AURORA ART as can be.Simply fantastic.
