NEW MODEL KITS


Three new model kits are on the way for hobbyists. Revenge of the Creature is a plastic kit featuring a well-known pose from the Gill Man from the film. The plastic Vampirella kit is based on the iconic 6-foot poster by Jose Gonzales, and the Dejah Thoris resin kit is inspired from the marvelous cover art of Jay Anacleto. 

Revenge of the Creature from the Black Lagoon Plastic Model Kit By X-Plus

Aurora and plastic kit enthusiasts are going to love this 1:8 scale Universal Monster Revenge Of The Creature model kit that will come in a beautiful color box along with instructions.  Included is a detailed base with nameplate and Chains.  This is a limited import production kit so don't delay or you'll be paying three times as much on eBay!

Vampirella 1/8 Scale Jose Gonzales Edition Model Kit by X-Plus
Retail price: $54.99

Be enthralled by Vampirella’s commanding gaze in this finely detailed model based on José González’s work. First designed by José González in 1969 and later in September 1972’s Super Special Issue, one of the many collected annuals of Vampirella, the work also marked the introduction of Carol de Haro as the real life model for Vampirella, appearing on covers and in comic strips throughout the 70’s. Now, taking the striking image that José González is best known for, X PLUS has created the pose in immaculate detail, from the individual strands of hair and subtle musculature, to the signature vampire bat perched atop Vampirella’s outstretched, delicate hand. As a welcome embellishment, Vampirella has an entirely new, but particularly thematic base to stand upon. A mound of bones and skulls rest at her feet. Upon closer inspection, fans may notice that these aren’t human skulls, but ones belonging to fellow vampires, with the telltale hint of fangs on each.  

Estimated shipping date: April, 2023.
