Monster Scenes Pendulum Plastic Model Kit

HISTORY:

Aurora manufactured a wide range of successful plastic model kits. These included movie monsters such as the Universal Studios version of Frankenstein's Monster. That line was (temporarily) discontinued in 1969; Aurora decided to take a new approach to revitalize their monster line: Monster Scenes.

 Reaction was guillotine-swift. Concerned Parents, Women's Groups, religious organizations, and the collective PTAs of North America expressed their outrage. Nabisco, which had recently acquired Aurora, found its corporate headquarters targeted by protesters chanting "Sadistic toys make violent boys!" Warren Comics, meanwhile, objected that their befanged heroine had been depicted on some of the box art as a torturer and villain, rather than the vampiristic do-gooder/adventurer she was. It says something when a kit aimed at children could offend a comic company known for sex scenes and graphic mutilation. In the end, the line was discontinued, the models pulled from store shelves, and Aurora's creative department fired, just in time for Christmas, 1971.

 DETAILS:

Another rare re-issue of Aurora's Monster Scenes series.  This easy to assemble styrene plastic kit will come in a full color reproduction box with assembly instructions.  This can be built seperately or added with your Dr deadly diorama.
