We're not through with Peter Jackson's 'King Kong' yet. Playmates offered several more sets with this smaller Kong figure. There were at least two other sets featuring larger figures: one set has a large Kong and the other set features a larger T-Rex type nemesis. Then there was the big Skull Island playset as well as a small game complete with a little Kong figure.
Today's featured set "Kong vs Piranhadon" has Kong fighting a big fishing lure, I mean nasty piranha-like fish. But seriously, the fictional Piranhadon figure included in this set is made of a soft plastic and really does resemble a fishing lure, except that its jaw is spring-loaded for chomping action!. The Kong figure's left arm is posed in a fairly permanent clenched position, while the right arm is actuated by a a lever in Kong's back. Pressing the lever causes Kong's right arm to come down in a punching action. I like how the Kong figures all have battle-scarred bodies - bloody faces, chests, and backs - attest to the mean, hard scrabble life he lives on Skull Island. It's a neat set. Enjoy!
