King Kong of Skull Island

Collecting figures for my room and really happy with the deep pool they have here at Mezco.... Popeye and King Kong ? Wow, well made and detailed , very different to add into the mix and have not seen anything so well made and detailed ! Steal at the price point !

I've always had a soft spot for my fellow primates, and especially those primates who have been swollen to impossible size by the imaginations of authors, artists, and filmmakers. Mezco's Kong of Skull Island captures the appeal of King Kong wonderfully, with exquisite detail in molding and paint. The arm and leg joints are a little stiff out of the box, but I trust they'll loosen up a bit as I continue to play around with them. I absolute love the ball-and-socket joints for the hands—a much more fluid connection than the post-and-channel hands on some of my Marvel Legends figures. Overall, this is such a sweet figure, and it's got me positively giddy to check out the Sovereign Knight and John Stewart I have in preorder.

I've got more to say (and some fun pictures) over on my site's YouTube channel, as well: https://youtu.be/xLesyLlkRBI.

The hair is great, the heads and detailing in the mouth, nose, and eyes are excellent. There’s even a mini person to throw into his hand! The shackles are an ingenious accessory too and make it that much more displayable. They also open and close and snap together nicely. The quality and paint job across the board is nearly perfect.

In this episode, Billy reviews and breaks down two new collectibles from Mezco Toyz.

First off, one of the heavyweights of the Monster Universe, its King Kong of Skull Island! This is truly an amazing figure that I'm sure you wont be disappointed with! https://www.mezcotoyz.com/king-kong-of-skull-island

Secondly, at around 17 minutes in, mother knows best and she's* here to tell you why, with this new, Friday the 13th part 2 Jason Voorhees from Living Dead Dolls! https://www.mezcotoyz.com/deluxe-edition-ldd-friday-the-13th-part-2-jason-voorhees

*She isn't really here, it's still Billy. But listen in and you'll understand.

King Kong is a classic character that I've never liked in any figure format, that is until I received my Mezco Toyz version. Kong should be a large beast, with some girth to him and maybe a few battle damage scars and that is what Mezco delivers. Let's take a closer look at the ruler of Skull Island and all the things he has to offer to you as a collector.

Overall
I really like the fact that it comes with the two heads and some other subtle but perfect accessories for Kong. The price point of $40 is a steal and really is a much better quality item then figures from other companies you would get for close to the same price. For a heavy figure like this, posing and standing is always a concern but I am really happy how Mezco approached and executed this King Kong figure. It also gives me hope and excitement for the larger scale of this figure they will be releasing in the future. This is an amazing release by Mezco and will certainly lead to me buying the larger scale version when its announced! If you are a fan of the old movies or the new movies or just flat out love King Kong, this is definitely a figure worth getting.
