Over the past week, a few bits of news has leaked out with regards to upcoming Moebius Models projects. CultTVman is happy to bring you a brief round of the news. Look for further details as the official announcements are made.

First, Moebius Models is working on a Jupiter 2 kit and CultTVman has a few details to pass along.  The image above was in a recent trade magazine, offering the first hint of the kit.   The art is by Ron Gross.    Dave Metzner has posted that "the design is DONE the mock-up and the tooling plan have been approved, and we're ready to start cutting tooling."    He further says it will be around 18 inches in size with at two piece hull.   Frank Winspur, owner of Moebius posted  "You guys know we can't pass up a J2. With everthing else we have done IA, it is inevitable.  Just give us a little time yet, and I promise you'll get new announcements soon."   There is no word on when this kit will be available.

Second, if you picked up the new issue of Amazing Figure Modeler, there are photos of a new car kit in the works, based on Von Franco "Flying Eyeball" hot rot art.  Check out AFM #44 when you can get it.

Third, photos  of the new Spiderman and Green Goblin kits and the upcoming Mummy art by Basil Gogos has been posted at Hobbytalk.

Please note, there have not been any official announcements on any of this so be sure to keep an eye on the Moebuis website, message board, and My Space pages. CultTVman will also report on any developments.

Great news from the folks at Round 2!

First, CultTVman has confirmed from a number of sources that Round 2 will be reissuing the original Aurora Batmobile. Sources tell CultTVman that the kit will be issued in a number of configurations including a replica of the original box, as well as a collectible tin box, and special packaging for mass market. The kits will come out under the Polar Lights brand. Details have not been officially announced or confirmed by Round 2 at this time.

Also from Round 2, the Vulcan Shuttle will be reissued in December and this is confirmed by CultTVman. This kit originally came out at the time of Star Trek the Motion Picture. It was reissued in the early eighties and has not been out since.

CultTVman has also confirmed there will be a second edition of the 18" Enterprise in the Collectible Tin.   There will be some changes to the product for the second edition.

Finally, Round 2 has confirmed to CultTVman that the Akira/Thunderchiled kit that was planned for late 2009 has been postponed in favor of something else. Round 2 is looking at producing a small, less expensive kit that will appeal to fans and builders. It will be a fitting addition to the line up. Look for more news from CultTVman as it becomes available.
