Aurora, an esteemed treasure in the toy kingdom, graced the hearts of toy collectors for decades with their market-leading model kits. Specializing in various categories like historical figures, movie monsters, and comic book heroes, Aurora's products were the beacon of creativity and nostalgia. Best known for their adored Monster Models, Aurora whisks us on a voyage to the realm of imagination where Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Phantom of the Opera bring childhood memories gusting back like a strong summer wind.

Nestled in the cultural tapestry of the 195s, Aurora was born amidst the Rock 'n Roll era and fashion revolutions. Founded by Abe Shikes, Joseph Giammarino and John Cuomo in Brooklyn, New York, Aurora monopolized the plastic model kits industry. Birthed in 195, their passage through time was adorned with an intoxicating variety of models, from the 1955 James Bond and Oddjob figures to the 1968 Hogan's Heroes POW Camp model. Aurora truly redefined children's play-time and quickly became a key player in the toy market. An intriguing fact - Aurora's first-ever plastic model was an attack submarine, which skyrocketed them to fame.
