Big Frankie is Back and Moebius Has Him!
Glue-sniffers rejoice!
He's coming! Moebius Model Kits revives the kit that made monsterkids scream with delight and parents just scream. Cult TV Man has him for pre-order. Don't miss this one!
I remember ordering him from the pages of Famous Monsters of Filmland Magazine, and sending cash in the envelope, including coins (taped together, of course). After a few months I gave up hope, thinking someone stole the money. But then he finally arrived. The big box was beat-up and had been tied with string to hold it together. The post office hadn't treated him well. But I still had him. It was love at first sight.
Now you can rekindle the romance, too!
Unavailable since 1964, It is the "Grail" for many toy, kit, and monster collectors (plus, it's just plain cool!).
Moebius has received a license from Universal Studios to produce this highly sought after model kit! Look for "Big Frankie" in a store near you, summer 2008!
As with all Moebius reproduction kits, Gigantic Frankenstein will come in the same, classic style, paper-wrapped box as he did 44 years ago!
Oh... my.... god!!! It's like christmas then for us who wasn't there 40 years ago!! Thanks for the heads up!

Hell, I'm still pinching myself. When I see that big beautiful box all over again I'll faint. Definitely. This time around I'm getting two.

I still have one original 1964 Big Frankie model kit by Aurora when I purchased when I was 12 and I have several of them opened and just boxes... I would say I have about 5 of them.

Joey-
You are one lucky bast*rd! I had only one, and didn't hang onto it, much to my later regret.
