For those JBF members that still like classic SF model kits:

Polar Lights is rereleasing their C-57D Star Cruiser model from Forbidden Planet to hobby and comic shops this September.  This time, they're including new in-scale figures to go with it:

What they don't say on that page (but included in the Diamond Previews entry), is that in addition to Altairia, the crew, & the Id monster (rumored to be molded in clear plastic), you will also get Robbie The Robot, Robbie's transport, and one of the laser cannons.

For those curious about the kit itself, here's a review from 2001:

Also, Polar Lights will be releasing in November 2009 AMT's old UFO Mystery Ship model kit (aka the legendary Leif Ericson kit).  Rumor has it that Polar Lights will be including the old Leif Ericson parts, no but lighting kit.  The best news is that PL will be continuing the Strategic Space Command line (which the Leif Ericson was spearheading) where AMT left off.
