Original Kit Issued: 1969-70
NEVER RE-ISSUED |

of AMT's better entries into the monster model category was this
cool Bigfoot kit. Although the pose is a little clumsy, the detail
and creepy "extras" are very satisfying. The kit came with glow-in-the-dark
parts designed to make the pool "shimmer" as shown in the
box art. Way cool! |

I never saw this kit
as a kid. If I had, I would have blown several weeks' allowance
on it!
The kit comes up for
auction on eBay from time to time, and always fetches a pretty

critter, the d#%n thing always slips out of my grasp!
All I can do is keep
scanning the horizon, always on the lookout for another chance to capture
this "missing link" of model kits.

10.10.03 - I FINALLY BAGGED
THE BEAST!
I
finally got my hairy mitts on this wacky kit. Aloha Tom,
in sunny Hawaii, sold me this boxless builder for a very reasonable
price, after a brief eBay bidder-battle. It's really a beaut!
Mahalo!

"953
frames of 16mm footage filmed by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin
on October 20th, 1967, at approximately 1:15pm, is often cited as
the best evidence of Bigfoot to date. The mere existence of what we call
"The Patterson Film", provides evidence that the "bigfoot phenomenon"
is not always due to a mass hallucination, or sociological phenomenon, since
you can't take pictures of a mass hallucination or a sociological phenomenon..."
