Description

Wolf Man (425) Aurora Model Sealed AFA 85 ** POP 2, Highest Grade ** (Aurora, 1962). Before werewolves prowled modern cinema, Aurora's tall-box Wolf Man let budding monster-kids build Lon Chaney Jr.'s snarling alter-ego in their own bedrooms, complete with rocky base, human skull, and stalking pose that oozes silver-screen terror. The kit was one of the first to translate Universal's 1941 classic into three-dimensional hobby form, and it helped ignite the nationwide monster-model craze that defined early-1960s pop culture. Encapsulated at AFA 85 NM+, with a population of only two, this piece sits at the top of the population chart with only one other specimen. For anyone assembling the full Aurora creature run, few opportunities howl louder than this legendary lycanthrope presented in investment-grade preservation.
