GUILLOTINE

[Mike999]

Another zombie thread!  And most appropriate, considering the subject matter. 

The rest of the story: AURORA planned a whole series of these "Chamber of Horrors" kits.  The parental uproar over The Guillotine put a stop to that idea, and it was the only one released.

BUT...Aurora had already cut molds for the next kit in the series, "The Hanging Tree."  Those molds were shoved into the back of a warehouse and forgotten for decades.  Until somebody found them, and created a resin kit from those original molds.

You can still buy that kit from Monsters In Motion.  There is a goof in the MiM description: they say this kit is "1/8 scale" but it's nowhere near that big. It's the same scale as the guillotine, somewhere between 1/15 and 1/18, maybe.

Yea it's poseable either way. In reality though, they usually cleaned guillotine's blade between beheadings later on in the 19th century.

It's for sanitary reasons, you see.

They didn't want to spread germs to the next, er, "customer"
