Yup. Its real. It was on display at an expo. Coming early next year. Courtesy of cult tv man's coverage. Frankie on tap first tho.

Magnificent! These are both must haves!!!
These look very promising. Can't wait to see fully painted build-ups. The Monster & The Bride look almost perfect.
Both are a must have for me and hope Moebius does a wolfman kit :)
It'd be awesome if they got the new "Dark Shadows" license and did a Depp/Barnabas kit, too.
The Mobius Creature is similar to the Sideshow diorama.

Yeah---but since that diroama is going for $450 on the secondary market this is a cheaper alternative for any who missed. I**cough**cough** got mine for FREE for a little paint slinging. Heheheheheheheh. So i can skip the Creechie. if I want to. But who can say what will happen........ 8) :o
definitely interested
Wow, cool. I can not wait.
Very nice.
I heard somewhere it is going to have extra arms. :)
really digging that creature kit.
WOW!!!! These Moebius kits are getting more and more impressive!!
The sculpt is made by no other than KreatureKid.
The kit will have one extra set of arms and is a extremely detailed rendition of the land suit. Even visible buttons and zippers are there. The gills on the head are open as in the scenes when the creech breathes out of the water.
I'm getting 2! But release time is still second quarter of 2012
Better they take their time with it and get it right, than rush it and fumble it.
I am getting one. Glad they are coming out next year though. I've been banned from buying myself anything until after Christmas.
they should reissue the mummy they did with a girl too. looks like they are doing it with ALL the universal/stage monsters they are doing.
SO Proud of Adam. This kit is going to redefine the styrene market. It really is exquisite!
A perfect storm, really. I keep thinking that it is unreal that this kid had this talent at this moment in time when this great company decided to create the ultimate Creature kit.
And people say there is no God!
Both kits look awesome, love to see a chaney wolfman ;)
Count me in for one of these as well!! Damn here is another awesome thread/news that I missed around Halloween and what a perfect treat it would have been!!

As I mentioned in the "Moebius Bride" thread, I didn't get the Dracula kit yet as I'm waiting on the Deluxe version; Which I assume will be released before either the Bride or this kit?!
Nope just looked at all the pre-order listings~
Bride of Frankenstein March 2012
Deluxe Dracula May 2012 (Hey Moebius, where in the hell is the preview image of this friggin' thing!?!)
Creature From the Black Lagoon June 2012
Awesome, Creature! MOEBIUS does it again.
I have the diorama but I will get this kit also. kreaturekid is quite a talented guy. I hope he keeps on sculpting. A new Wolfman to go with the set would be good.
Looks good so far. Want to see it painted. At first I thought Julia looked kind of "awkward" but if you look at the still this is based off of she looks like that. I also agree a Wolfman would be cool. Have Yagher sculpt it though.......no one sculpts Wolfie like Jeff!!!

Hopefully you mean on the girl's suit as opposed to on the Creature.

Well, I just spent the weekend with this kit and I am here to say it is one of the most amazingly detailed toys I have ever seen in my life. Adam has mastered this monster, there is no doubt about that. But this kit even transcends that mastery. There are details so minute and likenesses so exact while still paying a very specific homage to the Aurora Creature that it will make your head hurt wondering how he got everything right.
Bravo to Moebius for making it happen and , well, the Kreaturekid, he's functioning on some level that I don't understand.
This is probably a really dumb question, so I'm sorry..but what is a kit? Like..what is this? A non painted statue thing?

A kit is a model which is disassembled and unpainted. It can be made of resin or plastic. You glue it together and paint it as you see fit.

You know what they say, that there are no dumb questions, but seriously, you
never heard of a model kit??
I really haven't. I've seen them discussed, but never really knew what they were and I was afraid to ask.

Wow that is amazing! I was going to ask your age but I see you are 29, I really can't believe that you didn't know what a model kit/model/kit was!? When did kids stop building and painting models?! We had it all from dinosaurs, planes, boats/ships/submarines, rocket/spaceships, martians/monsters, etc. I know there are few hobby shops left but Michaels and Kmart still stock model kits and in the 90's both Wal-Mart and Toys R Us had them!
I'm not calling you out or anything, I just find it fascinating that you didn't know what one was.....Now I have to ask my 15 year old niece if she knows what one is!

Well I know what Models are..like airplanes and cars etc. But I didn't know that it was expanded beyod that. Like..I didn't know you could build and put together a little Monster Scene. I haven't seen that before.
I've never put a model together though. Maybe it's time to start lol

Ummmm....Yes, definitely time to start!! A good place to start may be with the Aurora monsters or on the cheaper end the Revell reissues of those classic kits!
And, it's NOT a dumb question, for a very sad reason. MOST retail chains have stopped carrying model kits. Wal-Mart and Target eliminated their model kits from their toy departments years ago. Kmart carries the kits (EXTREMELY limited selection), but no glues or paints. The last time I was in a Toys 'R' Us, I don't remember seeing any kits. No, you have to seek them out, like at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and other hobby shops. (Garden Ridge no longer stocks them, either.) Or, like most of us, order them online. And, they are expensive now! Kits that once sold for $2-$5 are now $20-$50! Paints and glue, once around a dime, can run $2-$4 a bottle.

Heck, even I grew up with monster models on the shelves - drug stores, grocery stores, Shopko, and, of course, Toys R Us - and I am younger than you. It must be where you live.
(I am beginning to fear a large section of this country for several reasons which have made themselves very apparent on this very board. ;))

I thank Yog-Sothoth every day that I was born and raised in the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area during the '60s and '70s. Thanks to a lot of now-dead department stores (Two Guys, Korvettes, Kresge's, Valley Fair, Great Eastern), my lust for monsters was always satisfied.
I'm in Wisconsin. Apparently we don't have that stuff. lol

No one does, anymore. Those stores are all long gone. The last Valley Fair I know of still in operation is in Irvington, NJ. The last time I was in it, it was a real dump. They had to block off the groceries from the rest of the store because of thefts.
How about Woolworth's, Ben Franklin's five & dime, Woolco, Atlantic Mills, Zayre's, Lionel Toy Warehouse, Children's Palace? Anybody remember those? I bought a few of my models from some of those locations. Atlantic Mills had giant bins full of every variety of the Marx six inch figures. At least they looked giant to a 9 year old.
i grew up in rural south texas. there was a ben franklin up the road in kingsville. i remember woolworth's but i dont remember them having models. we had a hobby shop in our little burg for awhile, but not long. i got most of my models at a kmart or (big) kroger's in kingsville. i do hit the local hobby shops here in exciting MI periodically but i get a lot of stuff on the web. if it is old or really specialty, ya have to go there.

Amen brother!
/me shakes his head sadly, realizing we are almost loosing the modelling scene I loved as a kid.
Maybe we need some video game character scenes in addition to our old beloved monsters?

There are some resin kits of videogame characters out there, statues, and even action figures. (I have a bunch of the Playmates Toys "Tomb Raider" figures from the '90s, and bought the "Assassin's Creed" figures from last year, even though I don't play the games-- but I do read the novels based on "Assassin's Creed.") But no styrene kits. Know why? Gamers are too busy gaming to build models! They'll buy prepainted statues and action figures, but not model kits.
Yeah...we could do the rounds back in the day....start at K-Mart, head to TG&Y, drop by Grants, and finish up at Thrifty. All stuffed with kits and other goodies. That was 1 shopping center!!
FWIW, I'm a gamer as well. I logged almost 300 hours on skyrim this year alone! ;)
But there are times I want some real life hands on action.
(And my wife isn't around.. LOL!)
There are still Ben Franklin's in existence, and they still carry model kits.
