Indeed he is as going to make up for the 35yrs of him being mia and buy 35 of these little gems.But going to have to hide 30 of them from the wife as she would kill me if she found out that bought that many of the same kit ;D!
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 had an original and do not recall the Glow....was that a reissue?
neato!!! ;D
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.
Stopped by my Dealer here in Burbank--just reading that has notorious connotations--but both meanings are kinda true-is the sad part!
picked up a creech and the BatBoat repop

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?
I had an original and also do not remember any glow parts.

You can kidnap me and put in your trunk. I would be a very willing participant. That trunk is loaded with all kinds of contraband. Stay away from borders and state lines. I hope that jacket is not attached to anyone.

That red and black checked material reminds of a winter jacket that I had. I guess it could be a blanket that you wrap your victims in. :D

My husband spends
way more on his statues than I do on my monster and sci fi trinkets. So much so in fact, he often buys me stuff that he knows I want but am too cheap to get for myself! I don't know if it's guilt or love, but whatever, works out great for me! ;D

Thanks Scat-man. OG, look at page 72 here: http://www.universalmonsterarmy.com/forum/index.php?topic=106.1065 (http://www.universalmonsterarmy.com/forum/index.php?topic=106.1065). Actually the entire display has changed, as he put up a wooden cabinet on one wall and most of the statues are in that, although he still has two of the glass Detolf cabinets in use too. He's more into super-heroes and Star Wars; not a monster guy (but I still love him).

Oh yes, I remember these now! Sweet!
Got rid of the wife, never had kids (can't stand the little buggers) and hooked up with a beautiful, tolorant, Dutch girl who not only encourages my hobby, but often buys them for me. I'm in some sort of heaven. Sorry, don't mean to brag.

It sounds like you are having the time of your life!!!! :D It's always nice when someone
else close to you, understands and supports hobbies.
