Original Kit Issued:
1965 - 1966
Re-Issued: 1969-1975, 2000
One of the last of
the original line-up, and lacking any film or comic tie-in, the Witch
kit nevertheless sold fairly well. The elaborate "dressing"
of the "set", and the archetype of the main subject may be why.
There is just so much going on in this kit. The knick-knacks and scattered
arcana make for a painter's dream

just picked up my Polar Lights Witch Kit. It's beautifully molded, and
I think the clear bottle and lantern parts were a good idea, even if they
do vary from the original. if you're a "purist," however, I
suppose you'd just paint over them; so everyone's happy! I know I
am. This kit's backdrop is especially intricate, and contains all the
classic witch-a-rama: bats, rats, bones, and a bubbling brew! I
think I'll save this one to start in the fall, just in time for All
Hallow's Eve!

reached in 1965 when The Bride of Frankenstein
and The Witch hit toy store shelves. Both kits
featured intricate dioramas with more tiny accessories
such as bats and bottles etc. than their more modest
predecessors had. Unfortunately, the molds for
The Bride were scrapped due to damage in 1966,
which led to the lack of appaerance of that kit in the
reissues of the monsters in the Frightening Lightning
and Glow series three years later.
