Hmm, would a post on model kits be appreciated??Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032477453891087135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-67062505619889994542012-10-14T10:36:45.980-05:002012-10-14T10:36:45.980-05:00Y'know, this topic kind of sends my mind back ...Y'know, this topic kind of sends my mind back to those terrific Aurora model kits-- the Movie Monster series? <br /><br />I'm just heartbroken that I didn't manage to hang onto those (as bad as I was at assembling them. . . no deft hand had YoungBelly). But I did have them all, and LOVED assembling them & painting them & setting them up & gabbing about monsters w/ my pals, etc, etc.<br /><br />HBhumanbellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-66040452984204613632012-10-13T16:03:53.973-05:002012-10-13T16:03:53.973-05:00Not interested in anything current, a 'guilty ...Not interested in anything current, a 'guilty pleasure toy' I'd love to start collecting is some of the 'Mars Attacks' line from when that movie came out.. <br /><br />Just a fun toyline, totally capturing those early cards.david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-35370876971919352922012-10-13T13:03:35.849-05:002012-10-13T13:03:35.849-05:00Although the Diamond Selects (some are shown here)...Although the Diamond Selects (some are shown here) are really nice (wow - mutant with interoceter!) I still think the late 90s-early 2000s Sideshow Toy Universal classics were the best. The sculpts were dead on, they were slightly larger, and the accessories were a riot! Really regret not having picked up the Lugosi Ygor & Chaney Masque of the Red Death. The Marvel classic monsters were so-so/iffy, though the Dracula did have a bit of "Plooginess" IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
