Description

Dr. Jekyll as Mr. Hyde (460-98) Aurora Model Sealed AFA 85 ** POP 1, 2nd Highest Grade ** (Aurora, 1964). Aurora's 1964 double-identity kit let young horror fans capture Robert Louis Stevenson's classic transformation in plastic, with Dr. Jekyll's respectability giving way to Hyde's snarling menace in one dramatic lab scene. Factory-sealed and authenticated at AFA 85 Near-Mint+, this example stands alone at the top of the population report save for a single 85+ copy, making it one of the finest publicly offered specimens of a kit that seldom survives unopened. For collectors rounding out the full Movie Monsters run-or anyone seeking a display-grade slice of 1960s horror hobby history-this near-pristine Jekyll/Hyde is a showcase piece to get before the man of science slips back into the shadows of Mr. Hyde.
