Description Someone asked me if I made the pose able Kong in my recent WIPs. Well, here is the card and instruction pamphlet which was signed by the sculptor, and appears to be #8 out 25 castings.  He calls it Gorilla 4 to avoid the messy Kong licensing problems it seems.  I love what he wrote here!  He seems like an awesome guy! ^^
It was a Wonderfest 2014 exclusive, and I bought one indeed at 2014 Wonderfest and used it to do     Now I am working on a new piece:      
This figure came with 3 head options, but each time I chose the same one because I like it best.

Izumi is a great guy, sculptor and craftsman. He has created some of the very best Japanese vinyl monster figure  kits available. He is also the sculptor of the classic GeoMetric Designs Max Factory King Kong vinyl kit. Which is now very hard to come by.

I can't find it on the website. I ran there as soon as I got a whiff of it. I would love an articulated Not Kong for some of my work. ;_;

Just my luck. I missed this AND the Aurora "Bride of Kong" a few years back. >_<

I am sure there are some around somewhere.  Send me a note to remind me and I will try to hunt one down.

You can buy these at Monsters in Motion but they are a bit expensive for the size.
