I figured this was a repackaged Aurora kit.

I built this glowing mummy in 1970 or so. I wrapped the figure in dried gray strips of gray cloth that was soaked in black water color paint. I was 11 years old. Haha. I still have the kit.

The Mummy Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon,and Dracula. I did them all as a young boy. I would have to do this with Testors tube glue for nostalgia. 😊👍

I always enjoy these kinds of kits because of their novelty, the way you can detail paint them and in some cases the working features. Nice to see one on the channel again; it's been a while.

Looks great, Chris! I built this kit back in the '90s when I was heavily into figure and "garage kits" (remember those?). Mine is still sitting here on my shelf with the rest of the Universal Monster kits I built back then. Among the Universal Monsters kits, this was one of my favorites. I also remember that it went together super easily and needed very little sanding/filling in the seams. I'm really glad they are continuing to re-release these old kits. Thanks for sharing, and have a great week. -David

I really like it when you make figure kits, the Mummy model looks great. I built it last year along with the Wolfman glow in the dark model kit from Atlantis. The Frankenstein and Dracula glow in the dark model kits are supposed to come out either late this year or early next year from Atlantis. I can't wait to build them.

I built about 8 of the monster kits as a kid. The mummy was my favorite. It was gray so I just black washed the whole kit. It turned out pretty good. Fun time down memory lane. Thanks.

Hey Chris! This and the Bride of Frankenstein were the only Aurora monster models from the 1960s that were a faithful reproduction of the actor playing the monster. All the other kits were loose interpretations of the character. Box art illustrator James Bama used studio stills of the monsters but none of the kits looked like his paintings until they gave him prototypes of the mummy and the creature. Lon Chaney was the mummy in 3 films...The Mummy's Tomb, The Mummy's Curse, and The Mummy's Ghost. And that's a wrap. Oooooh, bad pun.

Got one just like it. I used a sparkle pigment on the sand. I didn't use the glow in the dark parts. I have all the main monsters. My favorite is Frankenstein's monster.

I built this kit a few years ago to take a bit of a break from autos and aircraft. I also did the kit in black and white monochrome. The way the actual movie was filmed.

Lon Chaney played the Mummy in. The Mummy's Tomb (1942) The Mummy's Curse (1944) The Mummy's Ghost (1944) Whereas Boris Karloff played the Mummy in. The Mummy (1932)

Officially licensed? Looks more like Mr Roberts than Lon Chaney!!!! I have all the re-pops of these Aurora monster kits apart from Frankenstein (ok, I have the Luminator version but, as they are virtually unbuildable if you don'tlike seams, I'm not counting it!) and have heard that this one won't be re-released due to the cost of licensing (Karloff estate?). Given that the kit also looks nothing like the actor, Atlantis should pick one of the lesser Frankenstein films and get a licence from that actor AT A FRACTION OF THE COST!!!!!! 😊

Sorry Chris i'm going to be pedantic, sanskrit is Assyrian I think the Iraq/Iran area. Your thinking hieroglyphics which was ancient egyptian. The actual model is well done, hope to see a few more non auto models

Before they wrapped him up, didn't the high priests cut his tongue out? So dried blood around the mouth might be appropriate. I don't remember anything being shown done to his eyes or hands that would result in blood.

What's on the stones are meant to be hieroglyphics. Sanskrit is the language of Hinduism.

All I could see that might be close on the original, was a figure sitting at a table. Is this what you meant?
