Peter Jackson's new film is King Kong.Playmates toys has realeased a line for the film. I bought this kong because the package said it was superarticulated. That was true. The articulation is not great but good.I love the amazing detail on the figure.I havent seen the film(because it hasnt come out yet),but ive seen the previews.This figure is really fun to play with.I have alot of dinosaur figures,so.Overall this is a great toy.If you like Kong or the movies or just monkeys,you will like this toy.

Playmates toys is the same company that makes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys. In fact they started out making boys toys (action figures) with the original 1988 Ninja Turtle toy line. Since that year they've always had one goal in mind, to make toys that children would actually want to PLAY with. All the way up until this year they have kept that same motto with all their action figures.

It's no surprise that the whole King Kong line is aimed towards children. Unfortunately after almost 20 years in the business they've become too set in their ways to truly evolve as a company. The rest of the action figures in the King Kong line are poorly designed toys that most children will probably become bored or upset with. Many of the other figures feature fall apart action which is basically another way of saying this toy is supposed to break and suck.

So if you want to get a King Kong action figure for your child this Christmas look no further. Gripping Kong is the DEFINITIVE Kong of the toy line, the most detailed, and the most fun to play with. It reads superposeable on the package, meaning it can be put into a lot of different action poses and increases the imagination of your child rather than giving them some formulaic action feature that works once and gets stale.

This is also the King Kong collectors will want to look for, meaning it will be harder to find than the other Kong figures.

With many King Kong variation figures in this line, it's hard to figure out which is the best. Well the scores speak for themselves. Grab this one and leave the rest on the store shelves.
