Item Description
8.25x8.25x3.25" deep box contains model #453-150, "The Forgotten Prisoner Of Castel-Maré." ©1969 Famous Monsters of Filmland. 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. To this point, the factory seal is also cellophane as w/the 1960s kits, not the standard shrink-wrap used in the 1970s and beyond. The 1969 versions are much rarer than the 1972 kits. Box lid has lt. aging/wear, a few small age spots. Box bottom has a few creases but box is otherwise Fine. Comes w/original folded instruction sheet w/a few small tears. Glow parts are factory sealed in bag w/a few detached. Sprues have some non-glow parts still attached w/majority of small parts detached. Parts are complete as inventoried. NM.
