Attention all monster modelers! She's almost here . . . The Bride of Frankenstein plastic model kit from X-Plus. Delayed from a November 2024 release, the word is out that it's finally shipping from overseas.
If you're a monster model kit builder, you won't want to miss this one. A little on the expensive side (but what isn't these days?), it looks to be an exemplary kit and highly detailed as to be expected from X-Plus. It doesn't hurt that her face bears a good resemblance to the original Bride actress, Elsa Lanchester, either.

From the manufacturer:
Directed by James Whale and produced by Universal Pictures, The Bride of Frankenstein is a 1935 American horror film praised for its striking visual style and memorable performances that have stood the test of time.
Elsa Lanchester plays the Bride, who is best known for her spectacular hairstyle—a tall, spiky crest with long white streaks—created by the film's make-up artist, Jack Pierce.
This time, X PLUS proudly presents a re-imagining of this iconic horror figure as a 1/8 scale plastic model kit. The kit offers two display options: her initial state, wrapped in bandages, and her revived form, showcasing her iconic hairstyle in exquisite detail. Additionally, the gown is detachable, allowing you to display her in just the bandages if preferred.
To enhance the kit's appeal, we've included detailed lab tools that can be placed anywhere on the diorama, which is shaped like her bed. The bed can be displayed with or without lightning bolts, adding another layer of customization.
This attention to detail and the various display possibilities makes this model kit a suitable addition for your collection. With just one kit, you can create multiple versions of the Bride, making it a hard-to-resist option for model kit enthusiasts!
