And since we're on the subject of model car kits and celebs, I found these on a site called "Worst-Selling Model Car Kits Of All Time". Morley's Monster is on there! But at the end of the list the author of the piece says this: "I may have made all this up. We're still looking into it."
After going over the piece more carefully, looks like the guy did make most if not all of them up.
