Just opened the boxes on Moebius’s Spidey and Goblin

September 11th, 2009
Only fair to start this off with a disclosure: I sell these kits. I bought a case of each, kept a couple for myself, and now need half a dozen or so someones to buy the rest from me so I can make money for more kits. It’d be great if some of the people who read this bought the kit from me, but if not from me, then get them somewhere else. Because they’re terrific figures. Really, possibly the best comic model kits ever made in styrene. They have all the terrific energy of the old Toy Biz Marvel Comics kits, but without the intimidation of poor-fitting parts. Plus, the Moebius kits are bigger. I spent a little while this evening poking through the boxes, test-assembling some parts, and was pleased. These latest releases from Moebius Models, hot on the heels of the Universal Studios Karloff Mummy figure, help establish the company as one of the top producers of fantasy figure kits ever. Amazing. Thanks in large part to Moebius, hobbyists have available to them a steady flow of new kits of this kind, whereas only a few years ago it seemed that plastic fantasy figure kits were a thing of the past. For the most part, I’m going to let my admittedly substandard photography do the talking here, because I think these kits speak for themselves. Without further ado: The Green Goblin is available from Resin the Barbarian for $23.50 plus shipping. The case of Spider-Man kits wasRead the rest

I’ve started stocking the store

August 14th, 2009
I’m crossing my fingers and hoping my hobby can start paying for itself with the new Resin the Barbarian store. Ironically, you won’t find any resin there (yet), but I do have a few plastic kits and plan to stock more very soon. I still have issues to figure out, particularly a more accurate shipping calculator. In fact, that’s a difficulty that’s keeping me from putting the new 1/350 Polar Lights Enterprise in the store, although I do have it for sale. For now, if you see a kit you’d like to order, please understand that I promise not to charge any more for shipping, with delivery confirmation, than I pay. So, if you pay more than I do, the difference will be refunded PDQ. Feel free to simply e-mail me at todd.powell@resinbarbarian.com to let me know what you’d like and I’ll take care of it. Please make sure to include your shipping address. Thanks.
