Can you believe it? The Aurora monster model craze that hit in 1961 with the Frankenstein Monster continues to this day! A new generation of model making companies picked up the rights and the tooling for the line of plastic monster kits and have been reissuing them over the recent years.
I was lucky enough to but the re-issue of the Aurora "Dr. Jekyll as Mr. Hyde" kit from Moebius some years ago (Amazon is selling this for $123!).
Now, Moebius is re-issuing the same kit (a re-issue of a re-issue?) which is due sometime this month. In 2007, Moebius reissued this missing monster, which is one of the few that were not from Universal, with improved tooling, clear lab equipment, and vintage box art. If you missed the earlier version, now is the time to pick this up from the usual suspects After all these years, Aurora monster mania continues!
