A cool plastic model of Wonder Woman made by Aurora in 1966. Sales of this kit were dismal and it appears that young boys just weren't interested in woman superheros. Wonder Woman is controling the menancing octopus with her magic lasso. A truly cool 60s kit!

Aurora Plastics Corporation put out a line of model kits base on D.C. and Marvel Superhero Comic Book Characters. This is the original version kit. Aurora was the leader in producing all plastic figure assembly kits. I stripped off all of the old gloss paint (remember Testor's glossy enamel paint?) and put putty into the seams that I was able to do without losing detail and repainted the kit using acrylic paints. Acrylic paints make the kits look more realistic. This kit shows Superboy and Krypto encasing a dragon into a rock! I had a golden retriever (may she rest in peace) and I named her Krypto.

Superman, "The Man of Steel" busting through a brick wall. Another in a line of Superhero model kits put out by Aurora Plastics Corp. The popularity of figure model kits fizzled with the introduction of G.I. Joe. Now kids could have a figure that moved instead of a motionless model kit. Aurora held its own and still produced kits. I stripped off the old glossy paint and used acrylic paints to make it more lifelike.

Holy Hotdogs Batman! Aurora Plastics Corporation put out a line of model kits base on D.C. and Marvel Superhero Comic Book Characters. This is the original version kit.

Another of Aurora Plastics Corporations line of popular TV and Movie characters. I found this Zorro at a yard sale and didn't repaint him because it already had a fairly decent paint job on it and I was afraid that I may break some of the little pieces when I attempt to dis-assemble.
