As a kid I loved anything ape related, hence my passion for Planet of the Apes and KING KONG to this day.
I had numerous ape related toys growing up but none of the King Kong toys captured my imagination like this one!
MARX KING KONG WIND-UP MONSTER
I loved this guy! I think I always felt bad for King Kong and this toy let me imagine a good ending for the ape, at least in my mind he lived on and on! This toy was a plush covered Kong with glass eyes, manacled arms and a metal collar around his neck. When wound up (if you had the wind up version) King Kong walks, thumps chest, opens and closes mouth, and changes direction. Let me tell you first hand, if you brought this toy outside in the brush and layed down to observe the mayhem, this toy was the absolute best!
King Kong the giant movie monster that resembled a colossal size gorilla has appeared in several movies since 1933 and the character has become one of the world’s most famous monster movie icons! LONG LIVE KONG!
