Unfortunately, this instruction sheet is all that's left of my model of the Gill Man.

The Creature model was, I believe, from the second wave of Aurora monsters, that retailed for $1.49 instead of the original 98 cents.

Note the film synopsis on the first page.

On the back page there's a listing of "a few of Aurora's scale model kits." Somehow I get the idea that, although the monster models made money, Aurora really wasn;t proud of the horror line. "Look," they seem to be saying with this list. "We offer serious reproductions for the serious hobbyist! We're not just about that sensationalist scary stuff!"
I say your blog is very nice. Gisele Bundchen, Kate Moss, Adriana Lima & Co owe success, wealth and fame of her beauty and her charisma. They are among the most sought-after supermodels in the world are on the catwalks of Paris, Milan and New York home and wrap their flawless bodies in the noblest of noble designer creations.
ReplyDeleteMark,
ReplyDeleteActually, the Creature model kit was still 98 cents...the monster models that cost $1.49 were Godzilla and King Kong.
Yes, the Creature was originally 98 cents, however if you had the good luck to live in Baltimore, near a Toy Barn, the price was 77 cents.
ReplyDeleteLove the scan of the instruction sheet. How about a blog of scanned model sheets? I could contribute a few.
