I'd love to post all kinds of stuff there Tom , but I can never get in to the forums...All I get is the notifications on my Email and when I try to link in all I get is a bunch of spam What am I doing wrong?
Can pictures be posted to that site? ...Or just links?

Just got this incredible Email from Scott Mckillop...
Hi Denis
There are actually two prototypes on the go.  One is a licensed monster.  One is a PD monster.  Both have been suggested/requested by the hobby gang from the BB's.  I can only tool up one in 2010 and the other will have to wait until 2011 (the money tree only blooms so often).  I was thinking that if both prototypes would be on display at WF and I will leave it up to the voters to decide who goes to steel first; Monster A or Monster B.  There are no real losers because 2011 will see the runner up go to steel.   And at Wonderfest, I expect to be showing the production shot of Gorgo.  Sinbad will hit the ocean waves this month and that means the Ghost isn't far behind.  All other kits remain on the release schedule.  Nothing is cancelled.  Somethings, like the 1/13 scale monsters may just have less fan fare at their release.  Once a kit is released, if there is an overwhelming desire to know the sculpter, then that info can be released.  There are many many talented people out there and we like them all.   Oh yeah, your question;  Ummm as far as I know, there has never been a styrene kit of either of these monsters.  They are not repops.  They are both totally new sculpts and tools.  The licensed monster has been made to resin before (which licensed monster hasn't lived in the Garage resin before?).  The PD monster has been used before in popular culture but never in styrene.  Both kits will stand at a shelf height of 9" (about the same as Aurora's Frankenstein).  The usual 40+ pieces.  Randy Eveleigh will hopefully bless up with his craftsmanship on the test shots.  The PD monster will make us all get reacquainted with our classic literature.  Story to be included on the instruction sheet.
 
March...April...May..WF! Not much longer.  It would be hard to release even the tiniest cropped jpg without giving away the monster's identity.  Well I can think of one teaser that I will "leak" prior to WF.  From the base of the PD monster.....soon.

Oh Yeah...It's going to be a Great Year!

Lots of Good Stuff from Monarch coming up...Sinbad has arrived in Toronto and 60 days after that the Ghost of Castel Mare will be here...The Cyclops and The Colossal beast are being considered by Monarch also!

That Colossal beast looks great! I hope they go through with it.

[FACTO2]

The War of the Colossal Beast is a Jeff Yagher sculpt.  It is NOT going to be produced by Monarch.  Jeff retains full rights to that sculpt.  Monarch may be having another sculptor doing the WOTCB but it aint that sculpt.

[Mcdee]

Yeah I'm not sure what happened there and I haven't seen the Sculpt that Monarch will put out yet, but Jeff has said that he will make this kit availible, probably in Resin...So I'll be keeping my eyes pealed for that one!
But right now Sinbad is in North America and I guess it's just a matter of getting it distributed 
...with the Ghost in tow....
