In Aurora Monster Scenes - The Most Controversial Toys of a Generation, Dennis L. Prince and Andrew P. Yanchus examine this specific model line from Aurora models as well as the larger fascination with monsters during the early 1970s and the toy business that worked to satisfy demand for monster toys. Prince was a fan of the models during their original release and, through his company, now re-releases the Monster Scenes models, which Yanchus helped create as an Aurora employee. The book goes into detail on the research and development of new model lines, including production artwork, pictures of the molds, and photographs of the sculptors at work. It also details the crisis that erupted due to a combination of poor marketing at the wrong time, when Nabisco faced backlash over complaints that the Monster Scenes models encouraged violence, much like the comic book moral panic two decades before. Prince and Yanchus fill this volume with images of everything imaginable, from those described earlier to promotional artwork and even newspaper clippings regarding the Monster Scenes sets. Fans of the 1950s-1970s monster craze, and of popular culture in general, will love this book. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The story of Aurora Plastic Corporation's controversial Monster Scenes model kits from 1971. They raised cries of outrage, prompted protests, and ultimately toppled the once-proud hobby and toy company. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
