PL's second release of "The Wolf Man" is everything that one might have hoped for in its Aurora predecessor: fairly faithful to the boxart, as well as its cinematic provenance.
The instruction sheet (reminiscent of its Aurora counterparts) is comprehensive with useful (and valuable) modelling tips that would well be remembered by all modellers regardless of skill level.
Molded in ivory/"bone"-coloured, somewhat softer (read: less brittle) polystyrene, the figure itself is comprised of 15 pieces; the remaining 21 pieces make up the scenic groundwork-base. Fit is less than it could be, but about par--give or take--for what one can expect in an injection-molded figure kit. Careful prepping of the mating surfaces and rigorous dry-fitting will ensure an optimal fit and minimal filling. This is no time to rush!
As of this writing, I have assembled the torso, the legs, and the right foot. All seams have been internally reinforced/filled with beads of superglue (Zap CA+). The front half of the head has been removed from the torso, and joined to its back half. The mounting plates at the base of the torso and the top of the legs have also been removed: this will facilitate the filling of the body with PUR.
More to follow. . .
