1/8 85-6523 Monogram The Black Knight - (ex Aurora)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
Still factory sealed. Ideal builder model is the 2010 reissue from the original 1950s Aurora molds (originally obtained from Crown). This kit is the same scale as the other Aurora Knights. In the mid 1950s, Aurora bought three 'Knight' molds from Crown Plastics and issued them as K1, K2 and K3. These were the very first Aurora figure kits and they sported the 1956-only rectangular 'Northern Lights' logo with the correct 'Crown Line' logo inside it. The sales success of the Knight prompted Aurora to launch an entire line of figure kits. The knights themselves stayed in production long after many other figures were discontinued. When Aurora went out of business in 1976, they sold the molds to Monogram. However, Monogram did not release the Knights until well after Revell and Monogram merged.
