Polar Lights is back! Monarch! Moebius! Maybe Aurora too?

The news on the modeling boards is that Big Frankie is moving right along. The area around the neck and shirt area are suppose to be redesigned a bit.

On another front, I ran across a photo of a NEW resin version of big Frankie is being released. From the picture, it appears to be an all new sculpt by a guy named Daniel Horne. You can find the picture on Bucwheat's new kits page here: http://home.cshore.com/bucwheat/2k8/2k8.htm

I e-mailed Mr. Horne yesterday about the details of the kit but haven't heard back from him yet.

The guy who just became the new cover artist for MONSTERS FROM THE VAULT! He is a great talent!

Let's keep our fingers crossed. I would really like to have a Big Frankie added to my collection.

This is great news for us modelers! I never had a Big Frankie so it would be a treat. I know it will go for more than the original price of $4.95. (just kidding around) I wonder how much it will be and what stores will have it.

Several eBay sellers are now offering Big Frankie for a down payment of $50 to guarantee the order and another $50 prior to shipping. I guess this means the kit will sell for around $100.

One seller is audacious enough to claim the model will be available as early as May, rather than the July date promised by Moebius. Hmmmmm....
