Gather around the candelabras all ye Children of the Night, as we take a plastic plunge into the dark world of Cinema Gothic kits. Vampires are always a Gothic staple, and we bet you’ll be salivating to sink your pointed teeth into our gruesome gang of fang faced classics. First for you Classic Horror fans, we’re just dying to show you Blackheart Models’ bloody eyed version of Christopher Lee’s legendary role as “Count Dracula.” Next, turn the channel for some TV scares with Round 2’s re-release of MPC’s “Barnabas Collins,” a vampire kit that doesn’t suck when merged with Cult of Personality’s upgraded head. Trampling in next is a runaway symphony of terror by the original bloodsucker himself, Nosferatu. Also waiting in the wings is a customized “Voldemort,” another bald villain Harry Potter fans are sure to go batty over. Needful Things “Moon Phat” extinguisher of life and keeper of evil, plots his next move against a backdrop of Steam Punk machinery while a pair of Gothic Zombie Horrors strike back from the grave and things get hairy with Bram Stoker’s Wolf-Dracula. The AFM Artist profile covers the Goth-tinged styling of Jean Louis Crinion’s whimsical kits, plus they’ll be plenty more melancholy models, reviews and stunning photography awaiting readers in the blackened pages of America’s one and only figure kit magazine, Amazing Figure Modeler!
