\"Strange<\/a><\/p>\n

Strange Change kits were introduced in 1974 by MPC, it’s a hybrid toy\/model kit with a little horror and science fiction sprinkled in. It surprises me that these weren’t a bigger deal. It seems that it never got past the original three designs which are a Vampire, a Mummy and an extremely clever time machine. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps it was the era, I can see such a concept being a bigger hit in the 1960s. Strange Change kits have however been reissued many times. <\/strong><\/p>\n
