Aurora "Phantom of the Opera"{circa mid to late '60's}

Hi

In the late '60’s I got 2 “Phantom of the Opera” “action” models. Using a rubber band in the assembly, you “flip” the slidder bar on the base, and a “mummy” pops out, and the organist/phantom rears back at the hips and raises his arms. I’ve been looking for another one or two so I can build them in typical Wurlitzer{white W/ gold trim},and Barton{gold lief and crimson red} colors. The organ consoles where of a “horseshoe” type, and looked pretty good the way I did them. Anyone see this one on the market? ?? ? ? ?

I’ve seen them on eBay. But I’m not sure that was the Aurora kit. It sounds more like the Disney action kits.

Here’re two possibilities from Polar Lights. This company has produced most, if not all of the old Aurora/Monogram “Monsters” in the past few years. I have several - my favorite was the Guillotine. These arent cheap, but they are faithful repro’s, molded from the original molds, if Im not mistaken. Good luck!
