Hey guys, it's David Brooke from AIPTComics.com and I have an unboxing to do right now because
0:14
Mezco Toys has just shipped this new King Kong of Skull Island figure and just right
0:23
off the bat I want to say I'm surprised. I ordered this in July expecting it maybe in a year because a lot of the 112 collective
0:29
toys it takes about a year to get them. In fact, I just got the Ragnarok Hulk which is a year and a month after I ordered it
0:39
That said, this is not a 112 figure so maybe that's why it came a little faster
0:43
This is a really cool figure and it's actually quite affordable especially when you compare
0:47
it to some of the other Mezco toys. It's only $40 retail and it is obviously King Kong with an extra head and some other little
0:56
doodads that make it really cool. The box itself is a little small, it's actually kind of a slightly awkward shape
1:03
Awkward not in that it stinks or anything, it's just different. There's some art on the back of Kong
1:10
It's a little misleading with this building here because it doesn't actually come with the building
1:14
As you can see, he comes with five extra hands, some chains for his wrists and oh, is that
1:21
a woman? It's actually, what do they call her? Ann Daro, that's her name
1:28
I don't know, I can't remember the original. Anywho, let's unbox this and check it out
1:36
It's funny that I was just saying a lot of these figures, they take a year to come out
1:45
but this is really aptly timed. This is really well timed because if you're a Godzilla or obviously if you're a King Kong
1:52
fan, you'll note that the new Godzilla trailer just came out this last week and I have a
2:02
feeling people are going to be clamoring for toys like this that are highly detailed and fun
2:08
After you get the window box open, you've got the figure wrapped in a two layer plastic
2:16
You've got this kind of jungle background which is actually quite nice
2:20
It's not too bad. And then we've got some tape securing the sides here
2:32
I can just tell already, this guy is heavy. Let me tell you
2:40
Let me take the main figure out. Oh yeah, he is heavy. Alright, we've got the chain, it says it's real chain
2:46
I don't know, yeah, that's metal. That's metal. Extra hands. I can just dunk these
3:02
Oh, and the woman already fell. And Daro. Alright, so, let's look at the accessories first
3:12
Really nice detailing on the metal shackle. It looks like real metal and this chain is real metal for sure
3:22
This is actually not metal. This is like a plastic but it looks like metal. I don't know if it comes apart
3:28
Looks like there's a hinge there, so maybe. And obviously you get two of them
3:38
And then you've got two extra hands, like a grippy hand and a fist
3:43
And then another fist. And then the extra head which is pretty ferocious, guys
3:50
Wow, the detailing in the hair is really good. And the eyes, I don't know if I can get close enough, you can see, there's like a bit of
3:58
black, there's some nice brown in there, some detailing. The teeth are pretty good
4:07
You can see there's a little plastic like kind of melding two teeth at the bottom which isn't realistic but what can you do
4:13
The roof of the mouth even has some detail, I don't know if you can see in there. It's red, it looks realistic
4:18
Shiny too, nice choice on the shiny plastic so it looks like it's wet
4:22
It's pretty good. And then obviously there's no neck but that's because..
4:26
Ta da da! Me King Kong, me don't talk in movie but me talk in this movie
4:32
Okay, um, sorry. He has a serious rockin' face right there. He's like a giant gorilla
4:43
Nice okay so how does it make this King Kong? How is this not just a gorilla at the zoo, right
4:48
Well I immediately see there's some nice scratches on his chest from all his battles with dinos
4:52
and whatnot. Full body hair all across, there's no, you know it would have been nice if there was
4:58
like a gash, like a random gash maybe. But he is fully covered in hair
5:03
He's got this big like crotch area, kind of funny. Anyway, so let's look at movement
5:10
I'm going to start with the head because this seems like, oh
5:16
It looks like it doesn't want to move too much because it's sort of locked into this neck thing
5:21
There's not a lot of movement at all actually. He doesn't want to nod even. I don't, no he doesn't
5:27
He can kind of turn his head but it wants to pop off if you go too far
5:34
That's kind of surprising. Let's try the other head. One pro I suppose is actually these heads come on and off really easily
5:43
Oh yeah, that's the head everyone wants. It's not quite on though. Yeah
5:53
So yeah, again, the head doesn't want to move at all really
6:08
And if you turn it too much to the right or left he'll just pop right off
6:12
He's got a pretty good shoulder joint. It's real tough to move but that's good for posability
6:19
He's got an elbow joint that moves in two different ways although depending on the angle
6:25
you can't get that joint to move all the way. And then he's got the wrist joint which works pretty good
6:33
But again, not a lot of movability but for a figure like this it's probably more like
6:39
a statue I guess. And then let's look at, so he's got this chest joint
6:45
So he can turn all the way around. And then again, not a lot of movement forward and back which is a little surprising
6:56
And then, let's see what we got here. You can't really do a split
7:03
The leg could go all the way around. You need muscle, you need muscle
7:09
The knee barely moves. I got like one change on that and then the foot, ankle barely, the foot does go all the
7:20
way around though. So I guess that's good. Oh god, now we've messed him up
7:27
Oh wait, no. Alright, so this figure doesn't have a ton of posability but I suppose that's okay
7:42
What about the girl? Let's get a closer look at this. Wow, she looks scared, huh
7:52
Kong is so upset with himself for upsetting her. So there's a bit of a paint defect
7:58
You can see there's a black dot on her forehead which is a little annoying
8:04
Although she's so tiny. I mean look, this is my thumb. She's so tiny, you might not notice that
8:10
There is nice detailing in her dress, like on the top here
8:16
And she still has one shoe. The paint job on that is quite good
8:21
I can see collectors wanting just this toy. She's got a badonkadonk
8:27
Not bad, not bad except for that one paint defect. You know what, you could probably fix that if you just, if you try
8:35
So, again, this is only $40, this figure. That's not bad, considering
8:44
And if Mezco were to ever make a Godzilla of a similar size, we could, oh man, her head
8:55
wants to pop off, we could have a pretty cool battle. Put her like this
9:02
So, overall I like this figure. I don't love the figure. It's not very poseable
9:10
But it has great details, great detailing, and the metal shackles are pretty cool too
9:17
For $40 it's actually a pretty good deal, considering I don't think there's any King
9:22
Kongs like this in the market. And it's a prime time to start buying your monsters up since we've got new movies coming
9:31
Overall, I'm not super satisfied with some minor details so I'd probably give this maybe
9:36
a 7 or maybe a 7.5. If you go to AIPTComics.com you can read my full review and see my score as well as some
9:45
pictures of the figure to get a little bit closer in the detail without you having to pause
