GIANT'S SNAKE KIT (REISSUE) |
Updated: August 06, 2021
Back in 1968, 7 humans and a dog crash landed their spaceship, the Spindrift, in
the Land of the Giant's. Since everything in this land was gigantic, even the
smallest of creatures posed a huge threat to
the group.
This model kit depicts the day that the group ran into a giant snake, and their
only weapon against this formidable foe was a discarded safety pin. This plastic
model kit comes with a giant snake, grass platform, three characters and a safety
pin. Paint and glue (not included) are necessary to complete model. Recommended
for ages 10 and up.
It was September 26, 1968 and a new television show by Irwin Allen debuted called
Land of the Giant's. The first episode, The Crash, set the stage for the 2 year
television show. Seven people and one dog (every good show has to have one) crash
landed their spacecraft, the Spindrift, on to the Land of the Giant's.
Feeling like the Lilliputians in the time of Gulliver's Travels, the group must
overcome some of the simplest, daily tasks: not being run over by cars, being
picked up by a giant baby and played with, or being eaten by a hungry cat or nasty
tarantula spider. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, and the space-traveling team
must find their way home or survive in a land larger than life.
Land of the Giant's. Merely mention the classic television show and you think of
three things: Irwin Allen, the Spindrift, and the Snake Scene produced by Aurora in
the 60's. Now, Polar Lights is bringing you that classic scene in a new kit set to
debut in Sept of 2002.
Produced in 1969, the original Land of the Giant's Snake Scene by Aurora depicted a
day in the life of this traveling group as it encounters a simple reptile but to
them it's disaster at every corner. Their only weapon: a discarded straight pin. Today,
the original kit will range anywhere from $200 to $800 in value.
Model Kit Includes: All plastic pieces to complete model. Pictorial instructions sheet
describing assembly.
