Pretty much this, although I've seen Godzilla vs. King Kong and mostly hated it

I don't think it's quite fair to say the classic look is embarrassingly bad. It was 1933, they were doing something almost totally unique. I think it looks quite good, and did not improve much until the digital age.

In hindsight yeah I suppose the original isn't too bad, but the Peter Jackson version was definitely the right way to go for a detailed figure.

When I agreed with Matrixbeast I for some reason had the Toho version in mind, which is an embarrassment

Yeah the man in a monkey suit versions like in the Toho movie and 1976 remake were awful. The stop motion one from 1933 stands up against a lot of pre-digital Toho stuff IMO.

Does anyone here like PJ's Kong to have a snaggletooth? Because I find it to be kinda not right with me, but I might just have him in roaring face mode instead when he arrives here in the states. Nothing too major, just never liked the snaggletooth to begin with.

Well, there goes any sense of scale between the MonsterArt releases.

Actually, that honor goes to Destroyah. Which makes me sad because I wanted a Horn Katana effect so bad.

He also has two, maybe three hands. The gorrilla loping hands, fists, and maybe a holding things hand.

Not really. The Godzilla releases are still in scale with each other. KK is just an outlier.

This could be the first MonsterArts figure I may get.

You hated it because you were blessed with common sense, and a brain. I wouldn't make prisoners on death row watch that atrocity.

Well, I gotta go against the flow, because this "embarrassment" is the design that would get my money. I love how absurd his face is.
