Monster Scenes The Victim 1971 & Johnny West Custom LR Calveryman

Probably the most controversial of all the Monster Scenes kits, the second kit by stock number was The Victim.  She was also packaged as Dr Deadly's Daughter in Canada for a very short time.  Vickie, as collector's like to call her, was the typical ingenue being menaced by the mad scientist or the Frankenstein Monster or maybe Vampirella.  If the line had survived long enough, she could have possibly been rescued by the proposed Hero character by designer and artistic legend Neal Adams, but such was not to be.

Johnny West Corner

Custom Lone Ranger Private William Collier


This one is based on the set The Lost Cavalry Patrol.  Considering he is carrying a 7th Cavalry standard, he might be found in the neighborhood of the Little Big Horn.  Some Sioux might have delayed the patrol from reporting back.  Just sayin.  I gave him a kepi and CXR brown gear because the standard was normally carried by an enlisted man and I wanted to separate him a bit from the regular Cavalry as issued by Marx.  If you look at the binoculars, spurs, belt, pistol, bugle, binocular case and hat, you can easily see the design similarities between the LR sets and the Johnny products.
