    I really wish some company would reissue the monsters cheap again. The last of the Revell reissues seem to have dried up. My son and I built a set of the basics (Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Mummy and Creature) 5 or 6 years ago, and I'd love for my daughter to have the same opportunity. But I'd rather not pay more than $20 a pop.

            I kind of like how jacked the Wolfman is, I know that's weird.

            I have a full set of these reissued kits, but I don't' think I can properly build them anymore. Damn eyesight. I liked the glow parts when I was a kid; as an adult modeller, I thought they were superfluous.
            WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                Well, hopefully the company that acquired the Revell assets in the bankruptcy will reissue them again soon.


                I still love building models, but for some reason I never really took to the Aurora Universal Monsters.
                Just never did anything for me.

                The Monsters Scenes versions though . . . I'm all over those!

                  I hadn't heard of the Revell/Monogram demise.*sigh* My local hobby shop closed two years ago and I'm out of the loop. I have lots of kits I should sell, I suppose.

                    It was actually Revell's parent company Hobbico that went bankrupt.
                    Revell's assets were split between 2 or 3 companies (can't remember for sure)
                    Atlantis Toy and Hobby got all the tooling that was still here in the states.
                    Revell-Germany got everything that was over there. And I can't remember what happened to the assets that were in China.

                    https://www.atlantis-models.com/ has been bringing out a lot of kits that haven't seen the light of day in decades. Not much for figures, but if anyone is into real-space or other cool old stuff.

                        I didn't know about Revell either. Kind of explains the lack of monsters for the last several years.
