One thing that forgotten to mention the creature comes with 4 different decals for the nameplate wich is cool so you dont have to cut up the instructions like on the Aurora one.Two are in color and two are Black and white.Now cant get any better than that one. :)

Does the KIT come in a GLOW version, like my original?

I always really liked that pose on the creature but have stayed away from the MOM's because they are 1/12th scale and not the 1/8 of the other monsters.  Seeing it here is helping to change my mind about these other kits.  Thanks for the teaser.  I can't wait to see your finished product.

No the reissue is non glow.But probably down the road Moebius might do a limited run of glow like past kits he has done it too.

The Original Aurora monsters of the movies kits all had glow features except the Rodan and the Ghidorah.

Man! I had them all except Rodan and Ghidorah, and I honestly don't remember any glow parts. Were they just head and hands?
