Expanding into the consumer market, Aurora first produced toys before pivoting to model kits, starting with two 1⁄48th-scale fighter jets: the Grumman F9F Panther and the Lockheed F-90.

Product manager Andrew Yanchus coordinated the effort. Instead of the previous 1/8 scale figurines, Monster Scenes were 1/13 scale kits (every inch of the model equaling 13 inches in real life).
