Munster Koach
-
Two words... Bad Ass.
-
Outstanding!
-
Great modeling! I loved the Munsters! I remember the episode that introduced the Koach; Lily bought it as a present for Herman, only the dealership didn't have what she was looking for, so she had them take specific parts from different vehicles to create it.

I'm not a fan of the design but it is beautifully modeled.

Looks awesome hellnbak, good job!!

It looks like they are serious about rebooting The Munsters. Here's some of the cast so far (taken from TV Yahoo.com)
My take on how O'Connell might look as Herman Munster (just kidding)
Here's an interview with the developer of the new take on the series (can't remember where I got it from)
*The series, an "imaginative reinvention" of the classic '60's show, The Munsters, will be called Mockingbird
Lane, and is being developed by Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me creator Bryan Fuller and filmmaker Bryan
Singer. The look of the new series is going to be a bit edgier with a slightly darker take exploring origins
of Herman and Lily Munster, and how they arrived at the famed 1313 Mockingbird Lane address.Here's a few things Fuller had to say about the series in a recent interview with EW that you might be
interested in reading,*"We want this show to be an American Harry Potter. To have that sense of a magical world that you getto go to with your family and find stories told in a fantastical way that are instantly relatable. It’s
an American Horror Story that the whole family can watch."He went one to discuss the title change saying,
"The script is such a dramatic departure from the tone and style of the original show. If we continuedto call the show The Munsters, people are just going to to think we’re doing The Munsters. We’re doing a
reinvention and re-imagination of this property. I love the Universal monsters. I love the Creature from
the Black Lagoon, The Invisible Man, The Wolfman,Phantom of the Opera, The Mummy. There’s so many great
characters we can run through this metaphor of family storytelling that it just felt it was ripe to do as
a one-hour dramedy. Having all those elements to play with, the toy box is really really full."He talks about other monsters being added to the show,
"Absolutely. There’s some great stories going forward in the series. Any story you can tell on Parenthoodwe can run through a Universal monster prism and tell it in a very twisted off-kilter way. What I love about
the pilot story is it’s about a family who loves each other and they have a child [Eddie, the werewolf] with
a disability and they’re trying to craft a path for that child so he can have a happy life — they just happen
to be monsters. And, unlike in the original, we’re going to see our monsters do monstrous things."Fuller is asked about the costumes of the series, and here's what he says about them,
"We’re not doing bolts in the neck and Bela Lugosi. It’s almost the Real Housewives of Transylvania. These
are a blinged-out representation of what monsters would be doing if they lived in our society today. How they
would look, how they would interact. Our wardrobe is heavily influenced by Alexander McQueen and his use of
animal textures. For instance, with [the vampire] Lily, all of her wardrobe comes from nature. The first time
we see her this nest of spiders weaves her dress on her body as she’s standing there. We’ll see ravens come in
and assemble her blouse out of their feathers. We won’t see animal skins because the animals are donating as
opposed to dying for it. She has domain over nature and nature has a fantastic esthetic."This sounds like it will be an entertaining series to watch. I've enjoyed most of Fuller's TV series like
Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me. I like what he's saying about his vision for this series, and it will be
fun to see it come to life.Here's a couple of shots of the new house at 1313 Mockingbird Lane
Where it's being built
What it will eventually look like
Like everything they're rebooting nowadays, TV series, movies, whatnot, a lot of people are up in arms about it. To these people I say "What's the big problem? If you object to them remaking something, just don't watch it". Seems simple enuf to me.
Personally I'm very curious about how it will turn out. After all, when they made the Batman movies much darker and more sinister, look what happened
Anyhow, not sure why I'm posting this, I suppose since I mentioned the new series in my original post.

Btw....they're rebooting Batman again. I think they want to make a Justice League movie a la Avengers and they need to fit all the other heroes. Geez they've just finished the trilogy...

I don't really mind all the reboots, sometimes they turn out pretty good. To be perfectly honest, I never really cared for Christian Bale that much. My favorite was Michael Keaton. 'Spose Arnold is too old to give it a shot?
