Box design by Aurora maestro James Bama includes great large portrait image of Frankenstein as portrayed by Glenn Strange plus photos of model being assembled and put into action.

The largest monster figure kit Aurora ever released, it was designed by Marvin Glass, who also designed Mr. Machine, Mousetrap and the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots among others. Box has some scattered edge/corner tip wear, minor color rubs and a small scratch on one side panel but is still bright, glossy and in much nicer shape than usually found. VF overall. Box bottom has a few tape marks and two small punctures. Frankenstein comes w/headstone piece and chain which attaches him. Parts are black/light and dark gray plastic, chain links in bronze/copper plastic. Kit is 100% complete and unused, w/contents factory-sealed; bag containing chain stapled as issued, while other three bags are original and knotted as issued. Bags have some small tears from parts inside. Original tissue paper wrap that was around the three jars of paint (still tightly sealed w/tape as issued). Instruction sheet and paint brush included. Lt. aging/small edge tear to instruction sheet. Original rubberband present and pliable. A few pieces are loose from sprue, but unused and NM as packaged.
