Wow, amazing kits.  I would never be able to do justice to the paintwork necessary to get them to look like that.  I'd have to buy nice built-ups, which would be very tempting to do.

First, I want to apologize for bringing up old discussions but I just joined this group yesterday and it is my website that you folks were talking about and thus, I'd like to thank you all for the kind words.

The next kit in this series is supposed to be the Mummy, however, we may not see it until next year (according to Jeff Yagher) because the man is a busy guy.
He's sculpting for other companies such as Sideshow and Monarch Models, as well.

The latest kit in this series is the Forgotten Prisoner and is limited to only 70 copies.
Why? I don't fully understand.
I know that the Prisoner is NOT a classic movie Monster but he is a classic Aurora Monster.

The Prisoner kit did not come with a nameplate so I had to get one custom built but I haven't yet had the chance to paint it and attach it to the kit.

Take care,

Mike, you have done some amazing work here! Absolutely astonishing stuff. I paint models on the side and I wish mine looked like this. Great stuff.

I loved that Twilight Zone with him as Elvis. It was really well done. Neat twist. What is the price range on these?

What is the price range on these?

Only 4 of these kits that are currently still available.
The ones that are still available are, King Kong, Dracula and (if they haven't sold out) The Prisoner and these are in the $150.00 - $160.00 range.

The Bride of Frankenstein is still for sale (while supplies last) in the $200.00 range.
I have it from a reliable source that once they sell out of the Bride, they will NOT be casting up any more.
It seems that both the Bride and Jekyll are difficult to produce.

Here are my takes (with a little Photoshop) on three of those:

Rainer, those look GREAT!
I tried the same thing using Corel Photo Paint.
