X-PLUS Japan have just announced what is basically a straight reissue of their Revenge of the Creature kit (first released in August 2023). I found this surprising as I thought their December release would be Frankenstein as that is shown as 'forthcoming' on the instructions for their recent Dracula kit.
Translating the details from Japanese, this is one I will definitely not be buying as I already have the original kit and this reissue brings nothing new to the mix (such as an alternate base or glow in the dark features).
In fact, the only difference is that this is in a new box - one that emulates the Aurora long boxes and, to fit the original kit in this thin box, X-PLUS warns you that all the larger pieces have had to be be cut off the sprues! No problem if you're going to build the thing but presumably undermining the intended 'collectability' factor.
