Item Description
Large 14.5x18.25x5" deep box contains all plastic assembly kit #470, ©1964 Universal Pictures Company Inc. Box design includes great large portrait image of Frankenstein as portrayed by Glenn Strange plus photos of the model being assembled and put into action. Box notes assembled model is almost 2' high w/arms that move up and down. Frankenstein comes w/headstone piece and simulated chain link which attaches to this. Parts are black/light and dark gray plastic, chain links in gold plastic. Includes instruction sheet, original paint brush and three small glass bottles of paint. 100% complete and unused. Chain parts sealed in bag though all links have been removed from sprues. Bag has been sealed w/tape, other bags remain unsealed, likely as issued. Instruction sheet has very slightly tanned w/age but is exceptionally clean. Box remains tight w/color rubs and some creases at corners of top main panel. Box also has some corner tip wear. Fine overall. The largest figure kit Aurora ever released, it was designed by Marvin Glass who also designed Mr. Machine, Mousetrap and the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots among others. Affectionately referred to in the hobby as "Big Frankie" this kit is considered to be the holy grail of Aurora models by most collectors. Rare. Our last example of this model kit (in similar condition) sold for $3,269.
