Hi Guys,

Just came accross this Resin kit on ebay and can't remember Aurora producing this kit. Does anyone know if they did?

Many thanks

Thanks Mike,

Didn't think they did, but was doubting myself

These guys make boxes of what Aurora might have. The seller also has the Ymir with their box.

Hi Mark,

Cool site and some great artwork. Pity Aurora never produced the actual kits

That is cool!
The what-if boxes are a lot of fun too.

Yea it's sad Aurora never got around to make a "Rhedorsaurus" kit , but there are a few resin kits out there and in my opinion was the one made by BILLIKEN was the best out there .

That auction states the kit is "based on the Aurora monster model kit scale". That may be the confusion here. I don't think he's claiming it was based on an actual Aurora kit.

There was a number of kits based on Aurora what ifs.Their was them! and the beast and couple others.I know Al at Python kits did a couple Aurora what ifs and Larry at actionhobbies.But the one in question think AL at Python did this one.

Man I'd have snapped up a Rhedosauras kit in a heartbeat ! Still one of the coolest dynos ever !

ive got a billiken and if you can find one, grab it. its great!

That MIGHT be the kit Scott "Captain Cardboard" Alexander released in his "Models Aurora Shoulda Made" line. I had his kit a long time ago, but I can't recall if this is it. I think it's not, but am unsure.

There's a lot of fodder there!! If a company could get rights to some of those boxes and put styrene kits in 'em..... (hint hint)......

Hey Chris,

Do you think if we all "Hint" loud enough, they might hear us on the other forum

I'd love to say "pick a kit and we'll go hassle Dave and Frank" but I don't think it'd be very wise.....

Chris.

 

[ochronosis]

:lol: I think you may be right Chris

I think I've got a Billiken--it's a vinyl kit about 10 inches long. Nice but the head detail is pretty soft--I would love a better kit of this creature--it's just about the only Harryhausen monster that hasn't been done up as a great toy or model (although I know there are at least a couple LARGE resin kits that are too big and expensive for me).

 

[Jodet]

The Rhedosaurus (you all know what that stands for, right?) is my favorite Dinosaur 'design' of all time.

If you could pick one 'fantasy' kit (you know, 'Big Frankie', 'Moon Bus', etc) to actually be made, this would be mine.

 

[SUNGOD]

I wish some company would start a line of Harryhausen kits in styrene.

 

[ochronosis]

Hi Sungod, I sure would buy them and I bet other people would too.
