There is nothing sexier than a hot hot model 4 4

I had the repro of most of these, never got around to building any of them. I need to grab that recent re-pop of the Godzilla Go-Kart, it looks fantastic.

In my 20years of at least passively collecting model kits I have never seen the original Godzilla Gocart kit for sale.  The remake is pretty nice looking.

I remember putting a few of those "monster hot rods" together back in the 60's and even back then I don't remember seeing a Godzilla Go-Cart anywhere. I think I had Dracula's Dragster, Mummy's Chariot and King Kong's Thronester. Such fun pieces!

Found this video of the 1967 Aurora catalog. What memories.

Screen shot I captured from the video

[batman_fan]

New group shot.  Once I get my latest winning I will have the long box monsters complete sealed except for one kit.  Had a chance to snag it but price was crazy high.  Any time I have gone crazy high on something the same kit shows up at another auction site for a lot less.  This doesn’t include the Frightening Lightening kits or Monster car kits 

 

[batman_fan]

I have never seen the Munsters Living Room in person, just picture and never relative to other kits.  I always assumed it was the size of the Lost In Space large kit, wrong, it is huge !  Posted with a regular sized long box next to it.

[batman_fan]

Sealed Godzilla.  One more kit to finish the long box Monster Kits (total of 16 kits in the group)

[batman_fan]

First two Monster Car Kits.  Still need 4 more and two are impossible to find much less sealed.  Only hope is to outlive current owners and be cognizant enough to still bid on stuff. Going to be tough.

Bought the last customizing kit I needed, not sealed but it will be fine for now.

Down to

2 Frightening Lightening kits

4 Monster cars

3 TV shows

9 Superhero (have all the Batman and Marvel kits)

7 Prehistoric Scenes

2 Monsters of the Movies

3 Monster Scenes

I still need a lot more 

 

[batman_fan]

Been a while since I picked up anything but just snagged this one.

Down to two more kits to complete the set unless I decide to get the variants

My original post was there are going to be a LOT of very disappointed people.

[batman_fan]

New group shot of my Monster Scenes.  Two more needed.  I have an open Dr Deadly kit but really want a sealed kit.  Other one is easy to find just looking for one in nice condition.

Ran across this upcoming auction featuring model kits if anyone is interested. Both links should take you to the auction. Also includes many monster/horror/sci-fi/superhero/fantasy themed products; toys, books, magazines, cards, buttons, model kits both completed and unopened etc.

 Have never seen those kits

The Revell reissue of the Monster of the Movies Dracula gets my vote for the worst monster model box art ever. However, since I plan to build it (which I wouldn't want to do with a sealed original) it doesn't matter so much.

Speaking of monsters, here's my Monster Scenes Hanging Cage and Feral Cat, along with Dr. Deadly and the Victim. I'm not 100% satisfied with it (although I like the way the sword came out) but need to move onto the next one. I've been splitting my time between the Forgotten Prisoner of Castle-Mare and the Prehistoric Scenes Triceratops.

Finished my Monsters of the Movies series tonight and the Monster Scenes series for thenUS released kits.  Bidding was too high on the Canadian Doctor Deadly's Daughter kit

Nice! Congrats! Dr. Jekyll is a tough one, no?

[Dick Pontoon]

And on the other end of the spectrum... Here's an open damaged box, but since I plan to build it that's fine by me.
