ENTEX MESSAGE FROM SPACE MODEL KITS
Message from Space is Japan’s answer to Star Wars and boy is it weird but in a good way, I saw it as a kid and it left a mark. Not a lot of Message from Space merchandise hit our shores (the film kind of bombed here) but Entex imported some model kits from Japan to coincide with the movie.
Heck, they even brought in some from an unrelated series. Fans of Mystery Science Theatre may recognize the Star Wolf!
As mentioned in the opening paragraph, the Star Wolf wasn’t related to Message from Space but from a television series called “Star Wolf” in Japan. Sandy Frank would package these as “Fugitive Alien” TV Movies in the 1980s and they would become pop cultre icons thanks to Mystery Science Theatre in the 1990s. He tried to kill him with a forklift!
