Fans of any one specific King Kong might potentially feel disappointed, as he doesn’t represent anyone’s favorite movie. But fans of kaiju toys in general who can appreciate a classic reinterpreted can squint hard enough and see whichever version they like. And for folks who just love ape toys as much as Randy Falk and Todd McFarlane do, he’s perfect. Big, powerful, and fierce. King Kong will be first to Target this June, and available at your favorite NECA retailers later this summer!” Note: Kong’s roaring head features a shiny, fresh bloody nose. He’s a fighter, for sure. And the detail on hims is impressive, from all the teeth inside his mouth to the bottoms of his feet.

Typically, the big radioactive lizard is the larger one, but Kong dwarfs most of NECA’s Godzillas. (Playmates scored the official Godzilla vs Kong rights, but NECA had Godzilla until recently.) While most of NECA’s figures conceal their articulation as much as possible, King Kong is a big chunk of toy, and his joints are clearly marked. This design may not be as clean as some, but it seems to invite more play and posing. Double-ball and hinge elbows and knees allow for key poses like chest beating and his throat-grabbing death fall. RELATED: Toy Review: Gremlins Ultimate Flasher Figure by NECA Alternate hands so often seem wasteful in figures. Let them hold their accessories, maybe in one hand while the other is a fist.
