From the beginning of "Son of Kong".

This is from the miniature of the city during the L-Train sequence. "Denham's Monster" billboard.

Gotta share this look at the Mighty Joe Young puppet that's up for auction by Propstore!

It's so cool to see that Joe survived all these years, and how he's in great shape, relatively speaking! The details on the skin, fur, eyes, and everything is fantastic.

Hopefully this wonderful piece of history goes to a loving home who will take care of him.

This Kong figure, based on his appearance in "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire", could be considered lost media.

The company that was set to release it, Diamond Distribution, has unfortunately gone out of business. So sadly, this guy won't see the light of day.

Pour one out for little Kong 🫡

-The Palaeoloxodon namadicus was the largest land mammal that ever existed.

Its total height was 5.2 meters, and it weighed approximately 22 tons.

-On the other hand, when King Kong appeared in his eponymous film in 1933, when he was initially on Skull Island, he measured 5.5 meters tall, and when he was in New York, he measured 7.3 meters tall.

Pretty interesting to use the "King Kong Lives" design in an otherwise extremely "King Kong" (1976) themed fan poster. Technically they're the same version of Kong, but they both look and act so differently, they might as well be two completely different interpretations of the character.

Still a fine piece of art, regardless!

Kongtext: DeVito mainly focused on expanding the lore of Kong and Skull Island; Going over the origins/arrival of Kong's species, the pseudo-sentient dinosaurs known as "The Gaw", the Tagu and Atu tribes that came together to form the Tagatu civilization, and general events that took place on Skull Island in the distant past. This Kong himself met Vikings, WW1 German Soldiers, Doc Savage, Tarzan, and even the Planet of the Apes! Also yes, that terrible 2023 game was based off this Kong!

(Honestly don't know too much about this specific Kong so take everything I said with a grain of salt 😅)

Personally, this depiction of KING KONG has been one of my favorites, if not, my favorite artistic depiction of KING KONG

something about the amber lighting, the angry face and his snarling mouth, the piercing white of his eyes and teeth

2.) pulp look of 1933 3.) Skull Island, basically the Univ. Studios ad

Never was a fan of the 76 Kong poster version, 86 looked like a cartoon, 2005 was basically a Gorilla

Kongtext: In this series, the Kong we follow was cloned from the 1933 original, growing up as a "brother" to our main man Jason Jenkins. After Jason's old professor (Ramone De La Porta) steals Cyber-Link technology and Primal Stones, Kong, Jason and their friends must work together to reclaim the Primal Stones from De La Porta and his followers. All while fighting off the forces of Chiros, a fire demon the original Kong had imprisoned with the Primal Stones. Oh and Cyber-Link tech allows Jason and Kong to fuse together and become "Mega Kong."

Probably not, but it's always crazy when you remember that he was a Green Lantern in the MonsterVerse crossover with the Justice League.

Kong is a true hero 🦍

Unlike King Kong, Son of Kong did not achieve the same success as its predecessor, so no elements were ever used or a production related to the 1933 film/sequel was ever produced.

When Jackson was asked about a King Kong sequel, he joked that they were preparing a sequel with a draft, but in the end, it was just a clever April Fool's joke.

The thing is, what would a Peter Jackson "Son of Kong" movie have been like? I mean, that would be pretty incredible.

Well, this could be the opportunity for the film to redeem itself and start attracting public attention, so that more films or series are produced (more or less, but you get the idea).
