This is me with a giant action figure of the world famous "King Kong" taken from the Penang Toy Museum. If you look closely at King Kong's mouth, you'll see a blury image of the photogropher of this shot, my dad. Next here's some information on King Kong:
King Kong is a Megaprimatus kong from Skull Island, according to the 2005 King Kong remake. He makes his debut in the 1933 film, "King Kong" and has made many other appearences since then. A sequel released in the same year, "Son Of Kong" is about a return expodition to the island and they discover Kong's son. And then, during 1962 and 1967, Toho features King Kong in 2 Japanese films, "King Kong vs. Godzilla" and "King Kong Escapes".
Then, in 1976, Paramount Picutres made a remake of the orginal 1933 film also titled "King Kong". 10 years later, the exact same director and producer of the 1976 remake made another sequel to King Kong titled "King Kong Lives" where King Kong survives and mates with another Megaprimatus kong. Sadly, this film was criticised by nearly every critic and was a box-office failure. The last, most succesful and longest King Kong remake is the 2005 "King Kong". In this movie and the the sequel book, all of the inhabitants of Skull Island are given scientific names, such as Vastatosaurus Rex and Vanatosaurus.
Besides appearing in films, King Kong has also appeared in countless TV series as a pop culture reference but stars in 2 TV series, which are "The King Kong Show" and "Kong : The Animated Series". The second and more recent series even received a direct to DVD film titled "Kong : King Of Atlantis.
