Now that's an interesting twist on a couple of Aurora classics!

 

[The Batman]

Okay...

I knew I'd seen these before. They are not new. I just thumbed through my collection of AMAZING FIGURE MODELER magazines ( which I haven't bought in years ) and found an ad in Issue #12 on page 65 for THE DOLL AND HOBBY SHOPPE adverstising the return of "Monster Mates". These sculpts by the late Jim Fawkes include: Lady Kwazimodo, Princess Ananka, and an unpictured Wolf Girl. This magazine was published in 1998.

So, my questions are: WHO is Lunatic Fringe? And... are these authorized re-pops? Or is somebody out there recasting these old kits?

[The Batman]

Okay. I just read Dave's post in the Model Swap & Sell forum. That pretty much answered my questions.

Oh great ! I got the original Fairbanx Princess from the eBait at considerably more money. ( thinking I'd gotten a rarity )
I haven't touched it yet so I coulda saved myself quite a few bucks and helped out a board member too. It's a pretty clean casting and good looking model. ( I mean that both ways !! LOL )
Good luck on sales Dave !!

Holy Hot Mama's!Damm they look nice! :thumbsup:

Well there goes my allowance! Never built resin kits but after seeing thease kits got to have them. This is what I needed to lift my mood and start modeling again. Now if the wife will aprove of them. On second thought the heck with her.

 

[Night-Owl]

Very cool news! I remember when Fairbanx first brought these out. Dave; any chance of some new additions to the monster mates line up?

 

[Dave Metzner]

We do have an all-new kit in the works for Spring release, She'll be a Pirate girl, I guess that she could be someones mate. But probably not a "Monster Mate"
We are working out sketches for the kit which will follow her, again not really "Monster Mate" type subject matter.
We've got to do some thinking about where we could go with "Monster Mates"

 

[the Dabbler]

I'm still trying to figure how to use her with a Luminator's Mummy incorporated without one overshadowing the other or facing "backwards". ?? Plus I'd like to 'convert' the Mummy to hold a papyrus made from tinted parchment paper ?? ( without further investment, of course !)

 

[the Dabbler]

Dave, how about a "Warlock" to match the "Witch", "Alchemist" ,
or a 'mate" for Kong ?? An "Invisible Lady" may be a challenge ? A "Werwoman", "Werwife" ??

 

[A Taylor]

Cool to see these kits back on the market. Nice choice, Dave.

I see that the Mummy Momma is having a hard time keeping things under wraps! :devil:

What scale is she, Dave?

Huzz

I'm going to guess that she's 1:8 scale - so she can be used with the Aurora/PL Kharis figure.

[Rebel Rocker]

Those are TRULY great looking kits! May just have to re-arrange my budget!!

[Dave Metzner]

Both figures are 1/8 scale as they were intended to be "mates" for Aurora Monsters...
I have kits here, ready to ship, and will also be bringing them to Wonderfest in May.

We will have at least one entirely new girl kit to introduce at Wonderfest and may have a couple other items there as well. All are girl kits...

[buzzconroy]

I am interested in the pirate babe, will the kit have a base with treasure chest and a parrot?
Buzz

 

[scotpens]

I'm sure she'll have a more than ample treasure chest.

 

[Raytheon]

With any luck yes.

I do belive i'll be looking forward to hearing more about the Pirate girl.

Go easy

You could pair her up with the Aurora Blackbeard kit...just a suggestion. :devil:
