TV
and Movie plastic model kits have been popular ever since the
1960's, when pop culture was really starting to take off. Aurora
Corporation was one of the leaders of the era, releasing their
1966 Batmobile, as well as a Bat Boat, Bat Plane, and even the
Green Hornet's Black Beauty. Their 007 James Bond Aston Martin
is one of the most coveted kits of today.
Other
Hollywood related kits began to pop up, from the Hero Cadillac,
to Herbie the Love Bug. Model companies, like AMT, Revell, and
others, strived to tie their model kits in with the Hollywood
scene, and issued plenty of plastic cars and truck kits for everyone
of any age.
Soon,
we were seeing movie kits of Farrah Fawcett's Corvette, the Fall
Guy's GMC pickup truck, BA's A-Team GMC Van, the Miami Vice Ferrari,
and far to many other kits to list them all here.
Model
builders never seem to loose their interest in the TV and Movie
related model car kits. So chances are, we will continue to see
them, from Polar Lights, AMT, Revell, Airfix, and many more other
model brands.
We
still get new TV and movie model kits, such as the Batmobiles
from recent movies, and recent reissues like the Round2 Man from
UNCLE car. The Back to the Future Time Machine is still popular
and the kits are readily available.
From
other countries we get car kits for the Western Police hit TV
show, and vehicles from various Anime TV series and movies.
