iHobbyExpo 2007

Here are a few announcements and a bit of information from iHobbyExpo today!

From Moebius Models: A couple of new figure kits have been announced for the first half of 2008. First up will be a kit based on the first issue of Marvel’s Conan comic, showing Conan the Barbarian with a female at his feet. The second kit will be The Invisible Man, based on a design by Chris White

Next up, look for two new Lost in Space kits from Moebius: The Space Pod and The Chariot. The Chariot will come with a figure of the Robot!
