AURORA PLASTIC MONSTER MODELS
In 1960, a 15 year-old-boy came up with an idea that took the Aurora Plastics corporation to heights they never could have imagined. The Aurora model company sponsored a contest asking for recommendations for a new line of model kits. Out of 3,000 entries, one, from a young boy caught the eye of the company. He suggested a line of monster models and the rest is plastic model history.
During the 1960's Aurora produced a line of classic monster models the likes of which have never been repeated. Aurora Models used the backing of Universal Studios, the publication routes of Famous Monsters magazine and they coupled it with an attention to detail and an eye for art. Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman dominated for 10 years, Aurora was booming. Aurora added the Mummy, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Phantom of the Opera. Then they added glow-in-the-dark parts and they couldn't turn them out of the molds fast enough. But, like the monsters they made, Aurora was on a crash course with an angry mob of villagers.
In 1971, Nabisco bought Aurora and they had no idea what they had gotten themselves into. The ‘family oriented’ cookie company soon found itself at the mercy of protesters, striking out against the demoniac monster images that made Aurora so all the rage. Not wanting to chance the wrath of the cookie buying public, Nabisco changed the companies line to ‘cute’ models and sales began to erode. Without its monsters, Aurora faded faster than the Invisible Man and by 1977, they stopped production.
