Description

The Mummy (427-98) Aurora Model Sealed AFA 85 ** POP 2, 2nd Highest-Grade ** (Aurora, 1963). Entombed in its original box for more than sixty years, this classic Aurora Movie Monsters kit revives the shambling terror that thrilled Saturday-night horror hosts and double-feature crowds alike. The vivid artwork and menacing bandaged figure helped launch the first great monster-model craze, turning basement tabletops into cinematic tombs and ushering Universal icons into hobby history. Graded AFA 85 NM+, this piece ranks as the second-highest piece on the pop report, with only one matching and one grading higher. For collectors building a shrine to Aurora's golden age-or anyone eager to secure the single finest graded Mummy kit known - this is an unrivaled chance before the pharaoh returns to darkness.
