I never had one, but as a young lad I got a model kit as a gift. I don't remember if it was an Aurora kit, it was a cro-magnon man, he held a spear looking down at a snake.

They are in fantastic condition and very evocative of that era... very cool!

Superb collection Steve!! I had nearly all the horror ones, loved them. Alas they are no where to be found. I've still got an original Spider-man kit...

While I'm sure that for most VAM fans the term 'Secret Agents' brings these two to mind, there are, apparently other quite famous characters in the genre.

Dick Tracy got really weird at some point and spent much of his time in space battling moon men or some such nonsense. That comic was a lot more weird than people think about on the surface.
Never built any of these kits, but always thought they looked cool.
The Jeckyll and Hyde, while probably one of the more boring, has a great concept there with the Jeckyll half choking himself to stop his Hyde half from taking the elixir. Fun stuff.
