I saw a large plastic model skeleton today and bam! it took me straight back to my childhood when I made one.
My skeleton was an Airfix model. It was bone yellow and about 12 inches tall. It stood upright on a plastic stand [or was it metal?]
My brothers had the Beatles model kits by Revel, like Kooky John, to mess with but I just loved that Airfix Skeleton to bits! Anyone else have one?
One hangs on my wall as I type these very words. It originally came in a smaller black box, with just a clear plastic wall-mount included. Then the box was changed to the one in your picture and a metal rod was included to turn the wall-mount into a table-top base. (The box had to be larger to accommodate the rod.) I had two or three of these skeletons as a kid, and the one I've got now I've had for about 20 years or so.
