classified as a movie monster, but the Hunchback is really a tragic figure from literature, not evil, immortal or magical. This kit from the 60s borrows some of the figure's likeness from a screen version starring Anthony Quinn, but the face is something completely made up and doesn't resemble any actor who played Quasimodo. br br The pose is more pitiful than menacing and delicate rope pieces strapping the body to the base add difficulty. Not a kit for beginners.
