DREAM KIT!


Mock-up Kit Issued: 1993

This would have been a terrific entry in the Aurora cast of characters, as their line-up was notoriously light on female "baddies." However, given the poor sales at the time of the Witch and Bride kits amongst teenage boys, the Countess here may have been lost in the cobwebbed corners of toy shelves. Such a shame!

Today, I'm sure this kit would be sucked up by collectors in a heartbeat! Are you listening Polar Lights? Horizon? Monogram?

(Right) Here's my mock-up of the
longbox kit that never was!

This BEAUTIFUL bust of Gloria Holden as Dracula's Daughter is a COUNT FRITZ original once available from the now-defunct VAMPIR UNLIMITED website. The Count and his Bride, Thoroughly Morbid Allie, have recently added a new little devil to their lives, and are no longer producing ther wicked works. However, if you are lucky, you may catch one of their sales on EBAY! Happy hunting!
