Golden Mystery Puzzle - The Mummy's Crypt

Golden Mystery Puzzle
The Mummy's Crypt
Golden (1990)


That is a really cool image of Kharis the mummy
played by Lon Chaney Jr. in the 1940's.
Unfortunately the actual puzzle doesn't
have the same artwork. It is a collage
of toys and sporting gear. WTF???
My example is still sealed in the plastic
so i can't show the assembled puzzle.

Geometric Designs Creature Resin Kit

Creature From The Black Lagoon
Geometric Designs (2004)
1/8th Scale

So amazing!!!
Sculpted by the talented James Groman.


This is an extremely difficult kit to build.
Creech is only supported by his left hand
and tip of the claw on the right foot.
I actually had the glue come loose on the hand
and he toppled off of a shelf from about
five feet of height. Both feet and most of the claws
broke off. I had to re-attach the feet and re-sculpt
the claws out of epoxy clay. After that lesson
i decided to drill a hole in the left palm and top
of the log where i inserted a steel pin as a key
to lock the two pieces together and prevent
the same scenario from repeating itself.

Action Hobbies - Creature vs. Raptor Kit

Creature vs. Raptor Resin Kit
Action Hobbies (2016)
1/8th scale


Yeah, i don't remember that seen from the movie either.


Why is Creech fighting a dinosaur?
Why wouldn't he be fighting a dinosaur???



This kit was super difficult to build.
The sculpt is nice, but Action Hobbies
did a pretty crappy job of casting it.
There was a lot of clean up and bondo required.
I actually sold this piece at the 32nd annual
Tucson Toy Expo a couple weeks ago.
