Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors Guillotine (800-98) Model Kit AFA 80 (Aurora, 1964). Aurora's infamous Chamber of Horrors line remains one of the most provocative entries in the history of plastic model kits, and no kit stirred more controversy-or captivated more collectors-than this guillotine. Released in 1964 under license from Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, the Guillotine kit (800-98) was part of a short-lived but unforgettable series that pushed the limits of taste and toy marketing. Featuring realistic historical details and macabre subject matter, it was famously pulled from shelves after public outcry, making surviving examples especially scarce. Graded AFA 80 NM, this sealed kit is the only example at this grade level and ranks as the third highest-graded on record, with just two known to grade higher. Aurora's Guillotine is more than just a controversial collectible-it's a symbol of a turning point in toy history, where realism, horror, and public perception collided. Whether you collect Aurora monsters, banned toys, or cultural flashpoints in packaging history, this rare graded survivor is a must-have centerpiece. High-grade sealed examples are few and far between-don't miss your chance to add this notorious icon to your collection.
