GROWING UP WITH MONSTERS! My Forgotten Prisoner Story 1974 My Stepfather was in the Navy and in January of 1974 he and the rest of my family were transferred to Puerto Rico. Upon our arrival, we found that our housing wasn't ready yet. (the folks living there hadn't moved out yet) We were forced to live with a volunteer Navy family for about two weeks. I was miserable because I was home sick and I missed my Grandparents so my Mom decided that she'd buy me something to cheer me up. While at the store I found The Forgotten Prisoner of Castel Mare'. (The only Aurora Monster in sight)   This Model kit is an Aurora Reissue and was Produced by Polar Lights.  CLICK PICTURES TO ENLARGE   This was my very first Aurora Monster Model. Having absolutely NO clue on how to put this thing together (or paint it) my Stepfather put the thing together for me.   "Hey, this isn't as much fun as I thought it was going to be!"   The poor Prisoner was never painted and it was one of the items that was lost in the move upon our return back to the states two years later.   (Sigh)

The Movie

Actually there never was a movie for this character but there certainly could have been.

If you're at all familiar with the Forgotten Prisoner, imagine the possibilities of a movie.

The concept of this character was actually a combined effort between Aurora and

Famous Monsters of Filmland.

The original instruction sheets for this model did have an origin printed for him and

if I'm ever able to track it down, I'll post it here.
