ITC - Neanderthal Man - a photo on Flickriver

            The Ideal Toy Corp. (ITC) released the first of its dinosaur skeleton kits in 1958.  The Neanderthal Man followed in 1959.  Unlike the previous skeleton kits, this one include a fleshed out version of the subject in addition to the bones.  I had no interest in the skeleton, so I chopped off a third of the base and concentrated on the full figure.  The other change I made was to the historical information molded on the base.  I didn’t think that I could do a neat job of painting all the raised lettering, so I sanded the rock smooth and used rub-off lettering instead.  I completed this model in 1965.

The packaging shown is the second box art.  The original had a fully painted background behind the figure and skeleton.  This Neanderthal Man kit was also reissued by Ringo and Alabe, with the latest version produced by Glencoe.
