The all new Vampirella X-Plus "Aurora Style" Model Kit

The all new Vampirella X-Plus "Aurora Style" Model Kit

Posted by Paul on Sep 30th 2021

I am a huge Conan fan, So it seems only appropriate to start with one of my favorite Conan quotes.
"What is best in life?"
For me one of the best things in life is seeing a friend succeed.
I am lucky to have friends from all over the world.
We might not speak the same language, but we have an excellent understanding of Monsters, Super Heroes and Sci-Fi.  The love for these subjects brought us together and keep us all going.
So back to a friend succeeding...
If you are a fan of Aurora models you remember the golden age of Monsters.
Unfortunately very few new Aurora Monster style kits have been made over the past 40 years.
Most are welcome reissues and a few new subjects.
But now in 2021 get ready for an Aurora style model kit that will make you think it's 1969 again.
VAMPIRELLA IS COMING!


This all new Vampirella "Aurora Style" styrene model kit is coming from our friends at X-Plus.
Our friends at X-Plus (Thank you Gee San and Yoshi San) were kind enough to share some updates and pictures of this fantastic all new kit coming in late 2021. Hopefully just in time for Christmas but it will be close due to supply chain delays from the worldwide Covid crisis.  We will keep everyone posted on the items exact arrival date.


Check out that "Aurora inspired" Instruction booklet.
I really like the way the comic font was used in the booklet.
The booklet design feels classic but new and improved.


Package design for the all new model kit in classic Aurora style long box!


This is the prototype getting painted/assembled for photography.



Depending on your age, You may remember Aurora Model Store displays. These were usually at select Hobby shops to show kids what the kits looked like painted and assembled. 
     This all new Vampirella Kit display was made paying homage to the original Aurora store display style.


And finally even the info area of the box is designed to fit in perfectly with your Aurora Model Kit collection.
Another fantastic retro touch on this all new Model Kit.

This will be the first in a series of "Aurora Style" kits from X-Plus.

Support is key to seeing new kits made.
If you like it, support it, and there will be more!

Gee (The model kits designer) and Yoshi (The artist who painted the prototype),
  Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
