 Definitely a cool kit. If you are a beginner, I would recommend against it. The castings pretty bad. Offsets, etc. But if you can build, go for it. But I've done 4 on commissions, and three were bad. The 1 that was a good casting was from the first release.

ok thats good info, I have very little building experiance. im still in the relm of wanting a easy build and then doing the paint.  Im looking for good larger models, like 13 inches and bigger.

however i do want to get some of the monster midgets!

Hey...
I have this kit and it's a great likeness & sculpt!
I believe it is from Resin From the Grave (Strange Tribute.)
I highly reccomend it for your collection!

The kit looks cool..from the little photo I see, I tried looking for a few other photos of it, so I could see some detail..but came up with nothing.

He seems to be large, I think they said 15inches?

That Frank you speak of is 32 inches tall,
and was sculpted by Tony Cipriano.

Adam...I think this slipped you by...It's a Karloff Kit (NOT Strange).
I know you know this....you probably just had a brain fart! Ha!

By the way Adam...I just bought your Karloff kit, and cannot wait to
finish it! Thanks for sculpting such a great piece!!!
