I really liked those models as a kid, and always wanted to get one. But then again, I had a weird skeleton fetish when I was a boy, it was always my favourite "monster". I had one of those life size, cardboard, articulated Halloween skeletons hanging on my bedroom door all year around.

I have a small collection of these guys going. I try to pick up the ones I see for less than $10 at flea markets and yardsales, only have the visible woman with the original 60's skillcraft box. I had about 5 or 6 but somehow my stupid cats knocked them off there shelf and they get damaged pretty easily, so now I'm down to two.

There is one of these models in the background of the Medical Center set in a season one episode of Space:1999. I think "Breakaway," but I'm not 100% sure.

Neat!

I had tons of anatomical kits when I was a kid. Lifelike put out a bunch. I remember the toughest part of building these two was that they used staples as the joints, and it was tricky to get them to say in place while you glued the bones together around them.

Revel did a 1/1 scale head like this too. I called him Iggy.

I've always been curious about these kits, but have never owned or built one.

I did put together Revell's life-size human skull once, and turned it into a zombie head by adding a ping pong ball eyeball and skin made from crushed corn flakes mixed with liquid latex.. I was a creepy teenager.

As a teen I had a Revell skull on the transmission tunnel under my car's dash, until someone broke into my car and stole it.

Here's my current headphone stand...



Creepy or memento mori?

Yeah, creepy.

^ He appears to be happy and well adjusted skull!

I used to love my Invisible Man so much as a kid.
I was totally fascinated by it, and memorized where everything went. Never lost a single piece!

I can't believe that I ever thought it was a good idea to sell him at a flea market.


They just cost too much second hand nowadays.

I think someone reissued them a few years back, so you might be able to find an affordabe new one.
