FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER MODEL FROM X-PLUS

Up for pre-order (again) is the upcoming Frankenstein Monster model from X-Plus. This time the solicitation includes a built-up and painted model, whereas some months ago we only saw the prototype.

From X-Plus:

From the 1931 classic horror film Frankenstein, Frankenstein’s Monster is now available as a 1/8-scale plastic model kit. The monster’s iconic features are faithfully reproduced in fine detail, including its tall proportions, the bolts in its neck, and the stitch marks on its head and wrists, as well as its clothing and accessories.  The kit includes a large piece of experimental equipment used in the forbidden creation of life, a display base recreating the laboratory’s wooden floor, and two interchangeable heads with different expressions. With a choice between a blank, emotionless face and a grotesque grin, you can fully appreciate the terrifying yet captivating presence of the monster portrayed by Boris Karloff, whose performance made the character a worldwide horror icon.

HERE COMES THE BRIDE!

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.

Your best buy is through CultTvman. Click HERE. Orders are always shipped promptly are are packaged super-secure. I highly recommend this retailer.

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!

INVASION OF THE MONSTER MODELS!

Attention all modelers! X-Plus is pulling out all the stops on their series of monster models. I've mentioned that their sculpts are very accurate and their molding process makes for a far cleaner and easier build than most other manufacturers. Not only that, they don't take forever to release a kit after they announce it (I've been waiting for Monarch's Konga kit to come out for well over a year).

Check out The Wolfman model and the "fog" accessory -- I don't believe I've seen anything quite like it and they've found a way to integrate it into the rest of the scene without looking hokey.

As always, my go-to shop for monster models is CultTv Man who maintains fair prices and excellent customer service. Click HERE to visit.
