Revell Ringo Starr The Beatles - The Wildest Skins In Town, 1/8, H1351-150
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Sold
Very rare. 1964 original issue of Ringo of the Fab Four. When the Beatles made it big, everyone wanted a piece of the action and Revell was no exception. They acquired a license and quickly produced four 1/8 scale kits: Ringo, George, Paul and John - and the rest is history. Ringo measures 7 inches tall and includes separately molded drum sticks, drum, drum stand and the stool he sits on. This one is never started and 100% complete, including 'near mint' condition instructions. The box has very good color and gloss, four solid corners, no repairs, no fading, no water stains or water marks and was sold new for $1.35 at Hudson's Department Store in Detroit (from the price sticker on the short top side). The box would grade slightly better, but there are litho tape pulls on the long box sides. On the left there are two which are 1.5" x 3/8" each and on the right long side there is one 1" long by 1/2 inch (average). Please note that Richard Starkey (his original name) must be shipped insured.
