Rainer Engel finished the box art and even surprised me with an instruction sheet!

I think I am going to have to have this one. I am on the mailing list. I am also very interested in whatever you are planning for Jack Russel, Werewolf by Night.

Wife's job just got shuttered til April 7th. My hours are cut on one job and lost one of my part times. If this is still available once this covid crap is over with, I will get one. Plus the Karloff head. if this garbage doesn't drag out forever and wreck everyone's finances for eternity.

Sorry to hear about the job woes. Truth is, I doubt I could have picked a more up-in-the-air week to put this on the market. But it'll be available for a while yet.

That's sweet work all around. Love the retro Aurora look to both the instructions and the box art. That Rainer is a multi talented guy!

Well, I finally got mine ordered, and ordered the extra Karloff head for it too. Now...we wait. When I get it built and painted, I will show it off.

This series is off to a good start. If you stay in the Universal vein, a Werewolf of London in this scale would be cool. Mad Ghoul has nothing collectible that I am aware of as far as Universal Monsters kits or figures. Can't wait to get Franky. Should be fun to do while everything except the post office and the grocery store is still closed right now. Unless I wanna go to Home Depot. Which I don't. :rolf: :rolf:

I love it, his colors really pop! I may try too emulate some of this with mine. You know, if you eventually make Lugosi and Chaney Jr. Frankenstein monster heads to fit this kit, you can count me in. Since it comes with Strange, and I ordered Karloff, those two would have the whole Universal cast besides the stuntman, Eddie Parker,lol.
