| GROWING
UP WITH MONSTERS! |
| My
Bride of Frankenstein Story |
| Growing up in the 1970s (The Glow in the
Dark) era,
I never even knew |
| that there was such a model kit as The Bride of
Frankenstein. |
| |
| I didn't learn the truth until the
late 1980s when I found this great book |
| known as "The
AURORA History and Price Guide." |
| |
| The way that I understand the story
is that in 1966 the molds for the |
| Bride
were scrapped due to damage. |
| The
Bride wasn't what you
could have called a great seller so
Aurora |
| didn't feel that there was any reason
to repair the mold. |
| Aurora would regret this decision
when the Glow
in the Dark |
| model kits were released. |
| Both the Bride
of Frankenstein and the Witch
were intended as |
| devices to get girls into the hobby
of model building. |
| To me, this makes about as much sense
as producing a Ken doll to |
| attract boys to playing with Barbies. |
| These are two different worlds and
very seldom to they cross over |
| to the other side. |
| |
| This Model kit
is an Aurora Reissue |
| and was Produced
by |
| Polar
Lights. |

| Thankfully, Polar Lights did reissue this model kit
and it was |
| actually the very
first in the AURORA
Monster Model line that |
| Polar Lights reissued. |
| |
| Having built this kit (Twice)
I can honestly say that it is the most |
| challenging to build, of all the AURORA
Monster Model kits. |
