Back in Stock: Pegasus 1/8 “The Mothman” Model Kit
One of our most requested creature kits has returned — the Pegasus 9130 “The Mothman” in 1/8 scale is back in stock! This striking kit captures one of America’s most enduring and mysterious cryptids in dramatic sculpted form, complete with a display base that makes it a standout centerpiece.
The legend of the Mothman:
The Mothman legend originates in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where a series of strange sightings occurred between 1966 and 1967. Witnesses described a tall, winged humanoid creature with glowing red eyes, often seen near the old TNT industrial site on the outskirts of town.
Reports of the Mothman were frequently associated with feelings of dread and foreboding, and the creature later became linked in popular lore to the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge in December 1967. While no direct cause-and-effect was ever established, the timing cemented Mothman’s reputation as an omen or harbinger of disaster.
Over time, the Mothman story evolved into a key piece of American folklore, inspiring books, films, documentaries, and continued interest in unexplained phenomena. Today, the legend is a fascinating blend of eyewitness accounts, cultural memory, and mystery.
