Welcome to our SPOTLIGHT ON... our favorite Female of the Night!

VAMPIRELLA was born from the minds of Forry J. Ackerman and James Warren back in 1969.

The very first issue sported a cover drawn by Frank Frazetta and from there Vampi has never looked back.

The magazine was later bought up by HARRIS CORPORATION, but still goes strong today, with many different titles hitting the shops each month!

Besides B&W magazines, our favorite Vampire has appeared on everything from trading cards, to posters... T-shirts to painted on the sides of Vans! One would be hard pressed to think of any artist that hasn't done his or her own version of this Femme Fatale, from Frazetta to Boris, Linsner to Kaluta, ...well let's just say she's been drawn by some of the best!! So it should be no surprise that those in the Modeling and Garage Kit arenas have taken this girl home and produced their own versions for our enjoyment!! In 1971 the AURORA Corporation entered with the first (and only) styrene entry, with this addition to their 'Monster Scenes' line. As impressive as the box art was ...(it certainly had my 16 year old glands rushing down to the local Drug Store and quickly snatching a box off the shelf)... one was quickly disappointed upon opening it! Instead of the sleak, long legged beauty on the box art, one got a rather stumpy, slightly puggy version. At 1/13th scale, she did come with four arms that could be positioned different ways, and there's a nice photo on how Bill Lemon had to modify her outfit some, in Rick Polizzi's CLASSIC PLASTIC, (pg. 39). But overall a poor start for our Heroine! In December 2010, Moebius re-released this kit. At the WF Japan Winter 2020 show, X-plus previewed this new styrene Vampi kit! Version 2 seen at WF Winter 2022 Version 3 with a new base 2023. Garage Kits to the Rescue! Luckily for us lovers-of-the-female-form, many Garage Kit sculpturists came to our need and filled the disappointing void left by AURORA!      Jim Fawkes David Grasso Unknown Rick Force Russ Mueller Fatman Creations Dream Master Creations Bad*Faerie Unknown Diceman Creations    Global Marketing R&R Studios Pam Murray MojoResin William Paquette Sorcerer's Apprentice    Raven Hood      Enigma Mad Labs Fighting Monk Studios Zaleska Conversion Troy Allen        Unknown Producers Hourglass Studios Pam Murray Nepenthes Productions Vision Models Graphitti Designs Shawn Nagle Figuralia       MojoResin Vision Models Vance T Vision Models Vance T        Vance T    Susumu Sugita Andrea Miniatures Solar Wind   Massaru Kosaka Mojo Resin Diceman Creations Vance T 'Jessirella' Model Giants   Jimmy Flintstone Unknown Producer El Viejo Dragon Cipriano (WIP) Model Giants Saturn LTD Mojo Resin Larson Studios Night Life Prods Enigma MPVS/Fawkes Joseph Laudati Vision Models Figuralia Unknown AyEye    Cast from the Dungeon Unknown Mojo Resin Shawn Nagle Narin Terry Beatty Needful Things Ernest Dam (3D file) King of Hobbies       Unknown     Arahom Radjah Figuralia Inner Sanctum Prods Resin Crypt Sam Greenwell (WIP) Claymantion Joy and Tom Studios Chuck Williams [OOAK] David Pride [OOAK] Inner Sanctum Prods Fontegris Miniatures Figuralia (Ooak) John Dennett Pat Moorea Brandon Shiflett [OOAK] Kill Box Games Tony Cipriano Inner Sanctum Prods Luiz Neves & NY3D Creations (3D file) Francis Quintero (3D file) Galavant (3D file) Marcelo Vieira (3D file) Brian Miroglio (3D file) Rafael Chevere [OOAK] Mark Van Tine Bob Sanders Genesis Collectibles Art Bill Croan FantasyArt Sculpture Workshop Bruno Figueredo Roan Farley Dante Sforzini Jonatas da Silva Singh Manish Carlos Eduardo Marcos Paulo Roan Farley Sergio Khazov Angelo Montana Angelo Montana Nation Rodera 3D Studios Anthony Scott Enn Art Corvinus Creations Naelson Trajano Bite the Bullet Studio Biobreed Studios Eduard Perez Delgado PCS Collectors Torrida Minis Inna Diklich Bruno Figueredo Fernando Martínez Sculptures Stepanov Sculpts E S Monster Empire Figures Tamie Gadelha Yanh Sculpts 3D Verse Studios Tim Sloan (conversion) Shashank Thakur Exclusive 3D Prints Loredana Salvo (OOAK) Peter Leontescu Roan Farley Premium Collectibles Studio Sumit Malhotra Trick Or Treat Man I Love Figures Nikki Williams Bruno Figueredo Jorge Santos Abe 3D Tony Cipriano Dcharlez STL Sparx BM Misc. Items From the 25th ANNIVERSARY issue, based on the great Frank Frazetta painting, comes this pre-painted statue sculpted by Shawn Nagle!        Two kits that Carmen passed my way. The one on the left is one of Joe Sid's 'Generic Vixon' kits. David Harte carved this in walnut! This was a 'Myths & Legends' figure with the girl converted to Vampirella by Troy Allen.    Charles Haines converted pieces. Figurator converted this nude into a Vampi! A converted Sideshow Emma Frost by Ken Krysa! A converted Solar Wind "Reclining Karnstein"!   SideShow Pre-paints     Dynamite Pre-paints         This fantastic piece was done by Dave Hackett, who wrote; "The cathedral base was totally built out of balsa foam. I have a skull door knocker I made as well, but you can't see it because Vampi's in front of it. The window is a stained glass piece I made. The little detail "knobs" on the end of the stairwell are wooden from a doll supply place. It was painted with washes and some dry brushing. The stone pattern was actually fun to do. The tall part of the base was sectioned together out of 2 pieces of balsafoam. Would I do this kind of thing again? Yes. But where in the hell do you put it? I kind of backed myself in a corner with the size of this thing. It's like 23" tall or so. But a base just like this for Sassy's 1/3 Dracula, man that would seriously rock! Hmmm....." Dave recently sold this on eBay, which was quickly snatched up by Jack Reptile!! Jack sent me this closeup on the door... Jack Reptile shares his vast VAMPIRELLA collection with these photographs! Jack Reptile bought a 'Deadly Awakening' kit off eBay sometime back and had Tim Sloan do the honors of transforming it into a Vampirella piece! This is a great kit-bash I saw a couple years ago, where Vampy's legs were cut and repositioned to a sitting pose. The throne and background to this diorama were simply fantastic. Mike Morgan wrote to tell me this was done by Tom Gilliland and appeared on the cover of Modeler's Resource issue #15! Although not a figure kit nor a pre-paint, Moore Creations announced a new Vampirella figure at the 2000 TOY FAIR this year! There are three versions available: CM0011 - Red Suited Vampy CM0012 - Black Suit Vampy CM0013 - Julie Strain version While surfing the Amok Time's website saw the red suited version (#CM0011) for sale for only $9.99, and quickly ordered mine! It arrived 2 days later and is absolutely fantastic!! Get yours today!! ...also from Moore Creations are these... VAMPIRELLA PORCELAIN Moore Creations, Inc. proudly presents its newest item licensed from Harris Publications, the Vampirella Porcelain Statue.

With an edition of 5,000 and retailing for $39.00, you won't want to pass on this rendition of this heart-stopping beauty... and a 'snow globe', bust & ornament!        The great Michael Kaluta was kind enough to send me this nice rendition of Vampy for my collection! Thanks, Mike (& Ed)!     On Aug 19, 2001, my oldest son got George Perez to draw me his version! Our friendly 'Buffy' takes a walk on the wild side!   Any others out there? If so, drop me an email!
