I love those Monster Scenes kits, but I can't remember ever having any when I was a kid.  The pictures were ever-present in FM and I liked them a lot, especially the idea that they moved and were like action figures in a way, but most of my kits were all the longbox monster kits.  I had all of the regular ones, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Mummy, Phantom, Creature, Dracula...  and then a Godzilla which I still have.  Beyond that it was Capt Kidd, Blackbeard, Lost in Space (with Chariot), Revell Phantom (The Ghost Who Walks), Flash Gordon, and a couple tanks and planes.

Without a jacket or fur vest, that Frankie's black outfit kind of gives him an S&M look.  Fitting, given the attitude of the kits.

I never heard of the Monster Scenes until I was an adult.  All I saw growing up were the square-boxed glow kits and the Monsters of the Movies.

No problem Terry.  I want to be clear I am not bashing Retoresin at all.  But his track record is very slow.  He does have a grea product if you are willing to wait.

I remember one of the store displays with frankie, vampi et all as a kid at the local toy store. Quite a site for a lad. Can't bring myself to paint my glow monsters of the movies creature

Didn't want to start a new thread, so I'm posting here. Below is a picture of a recent ebay auction of a Monster Scenes display, with figures added too show what the set-up would look like in a toy or hobby store. I hope I'm not posting a picture someone else has already!

One more note on Retro Resin... I just placed an order in early April, credit card was charged but nothing received.  I sent an email and the guy (I think it was Gary??) said he'd get back to me.  1 month later I emailed him and haven't heard anything.   I know they've done great stuff and are slow but I wanted to let you guys know I'm having some trouble with RR, which is a shame because I really want the kits I ordered.

Getter, I've dealt with Retro Resin myself in the recent past. They are very , very , very slow, but they do come through. Keep in contact with them and don't let them forget about you.
