2000 and Beyond...
| As of this writing, the number of companies producing contemporary Pop Culture models can be counted on one hand -- Homer Simpson's hand. In the United States, Polar Lights has apparently ended its brief but celebrated run while the company that bought it out, Racing Champions, has ceased model kit production. Japan's Fine Molds and Revell of Germany regularly teases the loyal with the occasional "Star Wars" product, the latter also getting back into the "Battlestar Galactica" game, albeit it with little more than upgraded re-releases of Original Series models.. And a new company, Mobieus Models, looks to be taking up where Polar Lights left off by both re-releasing classic Aurora kits and producing new models of its own. Beyond that, the real action is in the "garage kit" industry, where small, home-based manufacturers produce quality kits based on a variety of past and present sci-fi subjects. |
