I had that candle set growing up.  I could never get then to work properly.  I kind of remember them collapsing in as they cooled off.

Finally got myself a Rapco candle making set. Ebay. I'll probably send off for the Mummy & Creature molds....

Cool! When were those produced?

[Mike Scott]

Nice find!   Looks to be in great condition!

I'll probably send off for the Mummy & Creature molds, their only $1.50 ea.

Send off to where?

[Mike Scott]

Cool! When were those produced?

Mid '70s.

Well then send it back. I count only five colours in your strip of paint vials and you're supposed to get six like everybody else!

I count only five colours in your strip of paint vials . . .

Looks like it's missing the black.

[Hepcat]

Very strange. Frankenstein has black hair and black shoes in all the pictures I've seen.



Maybe it's something in Universal's latest style guide? When did Rapco issue this Decorating Set anyway?

Good eye Hep! I missed that. I will have to give them a call today and get that straightened out!
Looks like they made Frankie a redhead in the pic...

[Hepcat]

Yes. Straighten them out.



Demand that they send you a vial of the black, plus extra orange, purple and grey ones for your trouble!

I finally stepped up and paid the price for a M.I.B. Revell Rat Fink in Lotus Racer:





My Mr. Gasser in BRM Racer has lacked an opponent for far too many years!

The artwork on that box is absolutely gorgeous Hepcat. Really nice score!!!

[Hepcat]

The box art was done by the legendary Jack Leynnwood. Revell launched the above two slot car kits in 1965 with this ad in magazines such as Car Model and Boy's Life:



The kits are demand scarce because of x-over interest from both "Big Daddy" Roth fans and slot car enthusiasts.
