Description

The Witch (483-149) Model Kit AFA 85 ** POP 3, Highest Grade ** (Aurora, 1965). A cackling classic from Aurora's beloved Movie Monsters line, The Witch debuted in 1965 and quickly cast a spell on young hobbyists with its ghoulish charm and Halloween-flavored flair. Featuring a crooked-nosed witch stirring a bubbling cauldron and eerie accessories, the kit was a perfect blend of spooky storytelling and imaginative detail-standing out even among Aurora's legendary monster lineup. With its vivid box art and stylized sculpt, The Witch was both playful and creepy, appealing to monster kids and model builders alike. Graded AFA 85 NM+, this example is one of only three known at this level, with none higher, making it the highest graded population example to date. The box is sharp and richly colored, offering both pristine presentation and exceptional rarity. Sealed Aurora monster kits are difficult enough to find, but top-graded examples of lesser-seen characters like The Witch are virtually unheard of. A grail piece for Aurora collectors and vintage horror fans alike, this enchanting artifact is equal parts macabre and magical-preserved in near-perfect condition, and ready to ride straight into the heart of any world-class monster collection.
