When meteors began to fall on the Earth in the mid-1950s, no one could have imagined that they were not rocks from space but the vanguard of an invasion from another world. This model kit recreates the Martian from George Pal's classic 1953 film, The War of the Worlds. Taken from images from Paramount's original studio prop, this model comes with 2 sets of arms for multiple posing options, and it stands atop a detailed film logo display base.
Philip Wylie's 1933 novel When Worlds Collide was one of science-fiction's first disaster novels; two planets - Bronson Alpha and Bronson Beta - entered the solar system, and Alpha was on a collision course for Earth. Plans were made to evacuate some of Earth's population to Bronson Beta, and that planet settled into a habitable orbit about the sun. In 1951 visionary director George Pal brought this classic novel to the screen, and this 15 model recreates the Space Ark rocket employed by humanity to escape the Earth's destruction. Based on Paramount's original studio model, this rocket features fins, launch railing, pillars, and a movie logo display base.

Built at 1:7600-scale, this kit measures roughly 15 wide when finished and comes packaged in a collectible metal tin.

No one would have believed in the middle years of the 20th century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own.

This special 11 pre-built model kit based on George Pal's War of the Worlds comes with copper/chrome-style plating, clear lenses cast in red and green colors (including a clear outer bubble lens for eye), earth base, and display stand.

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Bugs Beware! The popular Japanese manga series One-Shot Bug Killer!! depicts a world in which insects have become immune to ordinary extermination. In response, two competing companies create tiny bug-killing robots, both in the form of cute girls. Joining the two main robot characters in the line of 1:1 scale model kits is the third Interceptor Doll, PEST-X! After he resigned from Maazu Pharmaceuticals, inventor Furuyashiki moved to America and created the advanced Pest-X Interceptor Doll. Unleashed upon the world, the new Doll considers Combat-san its enemy and employs a transforming motorcycle. Unlike the cute Hoihoi-San, Pest-X wears a striking leather-inspired black outfit complete with silver zippers, thigh-high boots, and fingerless gloves. Her face is covered by a long white scarf while her bright red hair is held in place by an intricate mechanical device. Ready for miniature battle, Pest-X wields dual knives that can be stored in sheaths on her back. While the little robot's huge blue eyes look cute, pull down her scarf to reveal a wicked grin. Sculpted by Ryouichi Ito, Pest-X stands 5 tall, and is comprised of approximately 100 pieces. She has 25 points of articulation for excellent posing, and can be painted in any way you'd like (only her eyes and eyebrows are pre-painted)!
