Do you remember the prehistoric kits ? The cavemen and I think there was a sabre-tooth tiger....

[@charlie418791]

There were dinosaurs , too.

Yes, that's coming up on one of the later parts i will upload

I didnt realize these need to be painted. That would've been possibly less a draw back as a kid. But still cool; great memories.

I had Cro Magnon Man, Saber Tooth Tiger, and Pteradactyl.

I wonder what kits we might have gotten from Aurora if they stayed in business and their "Monsters of the Movies" line continued to get new additions? First, I would have liked to have seen The Mummy added to this series to complete the 1/13th scale Universal Monster lineup. And imagine adding the New Line Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, as well as Alien and Predator, to this collection . . . . 42nd Like.

That would have been amazing if they did modern horror. Thanks for watching!

For some reason the Monsters of the Movies models look cheap to me. The Frankenstein is in a very unfrankenstein pose. I don't think that came for any movie. The sea grass in the creature model is obviously two dimensional.

Thanks for watching! Yes, a lot of these sculpts were very basic.
