As a kid, I recall these monsters as being only slightly less idiotic than the Repulsives, and stuck me widdle nose up at 'em.  Nowadays, I'd look on them as a challenge: could they be made into something plausibly frightening?  I think the builder of the models in the photos did pretty well.  But where to find the kits?  They haven't been reissued that I know of, except for some resin recasts I saw on eBay a while back, which went for $75 for the set - too rich for my blood!  Maybe Round 2...?

Huh? Now I'm really confused.

But the kits I posted just above are the Repulsives! So which kits did you find more or less idiotic than the others? These?





Or these?

But you were the builder of the kits in the majority of the posts featuring build-ups in this thread including in the last two posts of build-ups above! So to which build-ups are you referring?

Not so. The Lindy Loonys and Repulsives have been reissued more than once:









A reissue of the Mad Maestro is also widely available.

Here is the Lindberg Brain Buster kit from 1965. This was a motorized model like their Mad Maestro kit from the same year. The Brain Buster was probably Lindberg’s response to Aurora’s Nutty Nose Nipper and Wacky Back-Whacker.

Hey! I didn't know any of those kits existed.
