Hi! If anyone has a pipe line into getting Aurora monster kits(the repops not the one from The 60's and 70's) I would appreciate. I had those in the 70's but they got thrown away and later Polar lights repros but due to certain circumstances had to sell.But I would like to restart again.I have a large Frankie, a Witch,a Hunchback, a Dracula(Moebius),Frankenstein, Creature fron the Black lagoon, Jeckyll/Hyde.I would pay A reasonable price for them.What scares me is some of the prices that are asked for Repops. I saw on line a Luminator "Mummy" going for 293.00 dollars US, wich is ridiculous. Anyway keep modelling fellow Monster lovers😊😊😊😊😊

In the 60s we moved from central Edinburgh Scotland to a council housing estate ( a scheme in local parlance - hence being labelled a schemie by friends who remained in the city 😂 ). My paternal grandmother often had me stay over, she lived in Easter Road. Easter road was my favourite place to be back then. A shop called Pirrets stocked the Aurora kits and I bought a fair few. Gran thought me a morbid kind of child 😂. A book exchange ( Bobby's bookshop ) was a good way to get Marvel and DC comics back then too but being a return 3 books/comics to pay for a " free " one meant I never held on to any of these gems. It seems I likely had a first edition Spiderman but no way would I hold on to a single comic if I could use them for part exchange, few sixties kids could have foreseen the collectable market that would form some decades later 😢 Not having a sense of geography I often filled out forms for Sea Monkeys and X-RAY specs, I'd then ask Mum about zip codes and would be upset that I was never going to receive the wonders promised in the advertisement drawings 😅 🤦 As dear old Dad would remark " that laddie's heid is full o' shite " 😊

awesome video

In 63 ,I payed 13$ now there $70 by time you Finnish its $100 what kid can afford it

Aurora's Monster models constituted a significant aspect of my growing up years in the 60s. If only I had kept the long rectangular boxes because James Bama's artwork was second-to-none.

Thanks for the comparison! I’d been looking for this exactly!

I spent more than my fair amount of time, building these and Aurora prehistoric scenes in the early 70s, never came out very good but still fun building them

i built all these in the 70's, and i'm wondering if i remember correctly: weren't the "sprues" (the plastic frames with the pieces attached) more square to fit in the square boxes, with ALL the pieces attached (not just the glowing pieces as shown here)? now i see the major pieces broken apart and bagged; maybe to fit in the narrower boxes?

BTW the Square boxes are copies of the 1970's glow kit boxes and their box art. Bama's original paintings in most cases were painted over with glow effects to do the squarebox designs. More on that can be found here including photos of how bad they were defaced. arglebarglin.blogspot.com/2006/06/aurora-bama-box-art-blasphemy.html

The reason Atlantis only released the glow parts for Frankenstein and Dracula but not the kits is this : When Atlantis bought the old aurora molds they got the molds for most of the kits but all the glow parts. They didn't get molds for Frankenstien and Dracula as Monogram in Germany still owns those molds. Also The Witch, and Bride belong to Polar Lights/Round 2 as they made new molds of those from old unbuilt kits( the original aurora molds were destroyed) and Moebius Models owns Jekyll as Hyde as theirs as well were a new retooling of the kit made from making a new mold from an unbuilt kit. It's original mold too was destroyed in the great Aurora train wreck incident.

i had the mummy. i wish i still had it

I built the Mummy model when I was a kid-about 1966. It's eyes would follow me as I walked by it. Scared the you-know-what out of me.

I see baby turtles. I clicked.

Y’all are just not getting em?

I saw that post in the fb group about the extra accessories on the April ha! Very cool set

Cawabunga

0:32 It's a leonardo invasion

TMNT COOL

If only we had places like this in UK, amazing to see so much TMNT stuff in one spot. Lol we get nothing like this here. Great video mate, stay strong.

Looks rad movie was awesome 🤙

So sick just watched your pick up video can’t wait for my stores to stock up on these! Gotta collect them all 🤣 Can’t wait for the next line of figures and things so so excited

WHAAAAT NOW I NEED MORE TURTLES! I got the whole bus pack, all four turtles every damn mutant, now just these for the backgrounds lol 😂😂

I can't find donnie and bebop one

Nice review I’ll eventually get these!

I love bebop😊

Wow I can't wait to find that Bebop Action figure

As a little kid in the early 70s I eventually got all of these monster model kits and put them on my shelf. I remember the instructions now that you pulled them out. I didn't want to use the glow body parts for the monsters since the colors would be way off so I just used the black parts and painted on them. I didn't know what primer was but they came out pretty good since I was also a good artist and my attention to detail was high level. I used some of the glow parts for scenery like the rats, skulls maybe a branch etc. And yes when the lights went off for bed I enjoyed looking across at the models on my shelf and they would glow.

At least i got renet regular edition

I just picked them up yesterday and now they are on my wall and it looks great

The original box art was obsessively good - and I can't understand why re-issues make them look so bad. Even the re-issues that obviously have the rights to the Bama designs spoil it by adding big blurbs to it. 😞

Great video thanks .... built them all when i was pre 10 yrs old now ... im waiting on ups i have 10 monsters and some testors on the way..... monster kidd to monster grandpa i am.

Nice. I would never be able to find all that in CT target stores😊

The original longbox version had the art of the Wolfman leaning out from a tree, and it didn't look anything like the kit. So, when they went to redo the kit as a glow kit, they had the art entirely redone to look more like the model.

I agree...the 2012 series was / is amazing. I have the revoltech figures. Some of the best ever made.

Oh Kool...a triceraton...I got 5 .

I fondly remember building these as a kid and not so fondly recall the total 💩 glue that melted the plastic and never held up. Today we have superglue. Which, back then, was Crazyglue ! Of all the improvements to the modeling hobby, Superglue is a game changer and deserves its own praise!!!

Take your toys out of the package now

Bro...I COMPLETELY forgot about this character! Holy blast from the past!

I like long videos. Nice to throw something on while you're messing around with your Joe's. Nice collection thanks for sharing .....Yo Joe!!!

Im glad im not the only person that has happen to.....why these people don't know nothing about this event and can't tell you anything 😮‍💨
