AFFILIATE LINK: Guardians of the Galaxy Baby Groot 7'' Pre-Assembled Kit

Here comes the adorable Baby Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy as he stands 7-inches tall in his white plant pot as an Action Hero Vignette! The highly detailed and accurate figure is pre-painted and separated into just a few parts. This means collectors and modelers can rapidly complete the plug and display process. Baby Groot is accurately colored and textured to movie likeness in a dynamic pose on a diorama base.

AFFILIATE LINK: Frankenstein Gigantic Model Kit


In case you hadn't noticed, it's Halloween! And what better way to celebrate the most horrifying of holidays than with a bit of retro-style monster model making?

Based on the Universal Studios version of Frankenstein's Monster this kit from Moebius is a re-issue of the super-popular - and incredibly rare (this is the only one Entertainment Earth has in stock!) - 1960 Aurora kit. The completed piece stands at a whopping 19'' tall and even comes in a recreation of the original's paper-wrapped box for that extra dash of vintage awesomeness.

NEWS: Chomp Bot #5 From Industria Mechanika


We've covered a lot of resin toys in the past at That Figures but there's also a slew of resin model kits out there that normally don't land on our radar, which is more a reflection on my inability to build a kit without gluing my eyeballs to the table than any lack of quality on their part.

NEWS: Dark Shadows Retro Kits from Round 2/MPC


Growing-up in an age of monster magazines and comicbooks, I'm a sucker for spooky vintage model kits. So you can imagine my delight when I saw that after 40 years of being unavailable, Round 2/MPC are set to re-release the classic Dark Shadows Barnabas and Werewolf model kits.

NEWS: AMT To Release Munsters Car Model Kits


I don't collect model kits - I simply don't have the dexterity or patience to assemble them properly - but when I saw this gallery of The Munsters Koach and  Drag-U-La over at Toy News International, I knew I had to share it here.

They may not look like much to the younger readers but for those of us who grew-up reading Marvel and DC comics or horror and monster magazines of the 60s and 70s, these kits will ramp-up the nostalgia meter to a solid 11. AMT are set to release the kits in toward the end of this year. No word on a price yet.

Ask anybody who grew-up in the 70s and they'll tell you, we loved our monster model kits. From  prehistoric terrors to horror icons, from space aliens to torture chambers and from skeletal pirates to giant-sized creepy-crawlies, it seemed everybody was in on the fad.
