Thomas Edison's "Frankenstein", "The Modern Prometheus", was earlier than Karloff, earlier than the Golem, earlier than Nosferatu, in fact, the very first monster movie according to Forrest J. Ackerman. Charles Ogel starred as the monster in this one reel film as a miserable creature with a wild mane of hair, long clawed fingers, a grotesque bloated body wrapped in coarse rags and bandaged legs.

This model depicts the monster bent over and peering forward in a characteristically awkward pose. Shocked and horrified as he has just seen his appearance in the included mirror, he turns to the front of the base. Sections of a Victorian rug and a hardwood floor are represented on the base along with a title piece flanked by drama masks. Limited to 300 casts and standing at 10? inches, this high quality ten piece resin and crepe hair kit is a great collectible. The Original Frankenstein kit by Cinema Art Models comes complete with a detailed assembly and painting instructions, a large color illustration and box art, a fun facts section, and a signed and numbered edition card.
