Join us as we celebrate some of the truly unique model kits that helped define the hobby--and some which gave it a friendly poke in the eye
Aurora Models is well known for its figure kits, particularly its monsters. Along the way came some other unusual figures. By 1965, Aurora was the undisputed king of large-scale figure models thanks to the popularity of their Universal monsters kits. That year, they released a figure kit of U.S. President John F. Kennedy hopeful that a line of Models of the Presidents would be a good bet (it wasn’t). Also that year, Aurora released Mad Magaine’s Alfred E. Neuman.
