Item Description
In 1969 Aurora introduced the "Frightening Lightning" series of model kits. This was quickly revamped/repackaged later that same year as "Glow In The Dark" kits in totally different boxes. These "first issue" versions look the same as the later 1972 issues, but have distinct differences. First, the boxes have a 1969 copyright as opposed to 1972. They are also on thicker cardboard more like the 1960s Aurora boxes than what followed in the 1970s. These 1969 versions are much rarer than the 1972 kits. 8.25x8.25x3.25" deep box contains model No. 483. ©1969 Universal Pictures. Box lid has some lt. corner tip wear w/1/8" puncture at bottom right of main lid panel. Box remains bright and glossy and is o/w VF. Model kit comes w/instructions which have some scattered aging and are Fine. Model has never been assembled w/many pieces still attached to sprues. Glow snake has been painted black and glow skeleton hand and face have trace of copper paint. Skeleton hand is missing one finger (but both head and hand remain on sprues). Parts are 100% complete and are Exc. to NM as packaged.
