I had all of the Aurora Monster Kits when I was a kid, and have many of the re-issues since then. I also had most of the Monster Scenes Kits (with Dr. Deadly and The Pendulum), and a majority of the Prehistoric Scenes Kits. I had all of the Planet of the Apes models except for the Gorilla Soldier on Horseback. I had an assortment of dinosaur/caveman models from various companies. I still love to build/paint monster models, and my skills have improved vastly over the decades. I also had quite the collection of monster magazines when I was a kid, all lost through time, and I’m proud to be a current contributor (illustrations and articles) for Scary Monsters Magazine. I even wrote an article about building/painting monster kits that was published in Scary Monsters titled BE A MODEL CITIZEN!
You got the coolest collection I've ever seen. I've been collecting masks since I was 11 now 35. Pleases make more masks videos to learn more about old masks. 🤘💀🤘
Those Haunted Mansion models are really cool. I never came across them in my monster phase from the early 70's but those may have been discontinued by then. On the Bride of Frankenstein... I thought I had all the Aurora Universal monster model kids but apparently not. I never saw her, Dracula's daughter, or the Invisible Man in the model store that I went to. And no ads for them in the magazines that I had. All the others I saw but not those. They must have been discontinued by then. I did catch some of the 60's stuff but by the time I started getting those models it may have been the next series. They still had the glow pieces though. I was just too young to start my monster phase in the early 60's.... but I still had fun with what I had. The 70's toys were awesome too.
I absolutely adored this episode. I have a show where we go through the original Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine. I just inherited my late father's monster collection. Would love to chit chat at all things Monsters. I have 4 of the models in this. The draculas drag, wolfmans wagon, Frankenstein's car and the girl in the cage. Thank you again for sharing!
I am SO HAPPY i found your Channel! im a *MASSIVE* Monster/Horror Fan and Collector, and i had no idea these even existed! i looked for them on Ebay and found out Polar Lights Re-Released these Model Kits not too long ago, and you can get the ENTIRE LINE of the Haunted Mansion "or now Haunted Manor" for around $60 USD! so i did JUST THAT! of course the Boxes for the 1970s Disney Versions look *A COUNTRY MILE COOLER* but i want to Assemble/Paint and Display these. so paying only around $15 to $20 each for them was far better of a choice. but my favorite by a mile is the Grave Robbers Reward, and Play it Again, Sam. those two are just so cool! i also got clued off while looking for these, about "The Strange Change" Model Kits of a Vampire and Mummy. so i had to get those too! i absolutely love the Gimmicks to them! my Mom "God rest her Soul" would have loved these too. she absolutely loved Horror as well. especially Hammer Horror movies.
Man , this was SOME haul ! I had all the P.O.T.C. guys ( dig skeletons) i had some of the 2nd wave Aurora Horror stuff too. love these things. I even had the moving skeleton for fishtanks back then as a collectable fig! :D good stuff! P.S. That Werewolf is WAY decent bro!
I was a kid in the 60's and had the Frankenstein, Wolfman, Dracula, and Superman Aurora models. I would glue them together, do the painting down in the basement so it was sort of creepy but fun. I am sure today these would pricey but if I remember I think they were under 5 bucks back in the day.
I am so jealous. What a great collection and I enjoyed your descriptions. One note. I found your delivery slow so I sped it up to 1.5 speed. Maybe I just need to work on my patience..
Just curious dude ... what the heck do u do for a job ? U seem to have an endless supply of green $ to enable all of your monster hobbies and car collections..🧟♂️🚗 😲 🤷♂️ !
I thankfully have the Moebius ones and even those are getting rare ....the Vampirella goes for 100 or more plus I have the 3 that Aurora planned but never made Moebius recreated them
Here’s what’s been bothering me. What monster movies are considered Halloween? Here’s some sample Monster Inc Monsters vs allies Shrek ? Scooby-Doo Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit? Night at the museum? Etc
I recently cleaned out a house and found quite a few painted Aurora Monster Models mainly from the 1960's. ( Only 1 original box) Can you tell me if it's best to sell the collection on Ebay or is there a better sale venue for Monster Collectors? Thank you so much.
Hey Cindy, if you could email me some pictures I am a strong buyer on them, eBay takes huge cuts these days as far as their fees so I could always pay you directly if you wanted. I’d love to see what you found it sounds really interesting, you can email me if you like rudymunis@att.net
Hey there my local hobby shop sells a liquid that comes in a jar for stripping plastic models, however a good friend of mine told me easy off oven cleaner works great. I haven’t tried it yet but he said put the model in a paper bag and spray it and the paint will eventually all come off. I’m gonna test it out on a cheap model or just a part and see what happens. Check online though there may actually be other products out there in the model world. I can’t remember what brand my jar was but it seemed alcohol-based possibly, it definitely never damage the models whatsoever
@@RudysWorldOfficial brilliant...I always see old painted models and think about buying them to repaint but think that you would lose detail if painting over them. I just bought an old painted vinyl predator and alien 3 ebay lot very cheap. May have a go with the oven cleaner..thanks.
I see you're a Misfits fan too! I got them on the mind because my dear sis got me an old CD of theirs for my BarfDay. Also, I was just mad enough to make an animation to one of their songs, that banger Skulls. In case you're curious and got 2 minutes... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kt1h0jrHTPI.html
