Marvel Spider-Man (477-100) Aurora Model Sealed AFA 85 ** POP 2, Highest-Grade ** (Aurora, 1966). Before wall-crawler toys swung into every department store, Aurora's long-box plastic kit let mid-'60s fans build New York's newest super-hero in vivid costume colors, poised atop a broken stairway with Kraven defeated below him. Factory-sealed copies have virtually vanished over the decades; this survivor has earned an outstanding AFA 85 NM+, the single highest grade recorded. The box panels preserve the bold John Romita-era art that helped cement Spider-Man's pop-culture rise. As one of Marvel's earliest licensed model kits-and the first to headline Spider-Man solo-this pristine specimen anchors any Silver Age or Aurora monster/hero crossover display. A crown-jewel opportunity for collectors seeking the sharpest possible example of the web-slinger's inaugural hobby release before it swings away into another collection's skyline.
