WAR OF THE WORLDS ALIEN CREATURE MODEL RELEASED BY PEGASUS HOBBIES

The newest in the sudden resurrection of hobby kits from the original WAR OF THE WORLDS movie. This one is of the martian creature who we see only briefly in the film. Buy it, put it together, and you can stare at it all you want.

ELVIRA KIT COMING FROM MOEBIUS MODELS

MOEBIUS MODELS and our most favorite living Scream Queen, ELVIRA MISTRESS OF THE DARK, have teamed up to bring model kit makers and hobby enthusiasts the ELVIRA plastic model. The kit is due sometime next year. Pictured is the prototype. The one sitting in the chair is the real deal.

Below are close-ups of the prototype kit.

CREATURE MODEL RE-ISSUE RELEASING THIS WEEK

BIGFOOT PLASTIC MODEL TO BE REISSUED BY AMT

Bigfoot documentaries and flights of fancy about Bigfoot disguised as documentaries have been about as plentiful as Bigfoot sightings are scarce ever since the infamous 1967 Patterson film (see clip below). Twenty years later, in 1987, AMT Models introduced a plastic model of Bigfoot. The image was based on a composite of various sightings.

Just over 20 more years later, in November of this year, AMT is re-leasing the Bigfoot model. The new model kit will come in brand new packaging, featuring glow in the dark injected plastic parts, instruction sheet and detailed display base. 1/7 scale approx. 10 inches tall. Perhaps overstating the obvious, AMT has added the following to their promo: "Painting and modeling skills required" (!). Taking it further for them, one could imagine that one could choke on the parts and suffocate in the plastic packaging as well, so please, observe all precautions and, oh, have fun if you purchase one.

"BROADWAY DRACULA" MODEL KIT NEWS

Exciting news on the monster model front! Moebius Models is developing a new kit "modeled" after Bela Lugosi's 1927 Broadway production of DRACULA. The 1:8th scale model will be made from mold injected plastic and will include figure and base. Officially licensed by the Bela Lugosi estate, the kit will be packaged in a "classic style model box" (maybe after the legendary Aurora "long boxes"?). No other news is available at this time, but a few shots of the prototype sculpt have been circulating (see below).

MOEBIUS CREATURE MODEL KIT COMING

Coming soon to a hobby shop near you is Moebius Models' re-issue of the "Monsters of the Movies" CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON snap-together model kit. No word yet on just when we'll be able to snag these beauts, but you can be rest assured this kit will probably end up flying (or swimming) off the shelf.
