As many of you know, I'm kind of a fan of Peter Jackson's interpretation of King Kong. I uploaded my collection photos to the user database a week or so ago, but I thought I'd re-post them in their own thread so more people can check them out. I have more items on order right now, so I'll update my collection photos as they arrive. :D

Tridon, drop me a PM if there's anything you want from NZ and I'll see what my son can get as he's just started work at "that" NZ effects company.

The Kong/V-Rex statue bookend set. :scat:

Not the greatest photo because I threw them up on my shelf right away to hold up my Kong DVD collection, but it'll have to do. ;)

I think I'm officially statued out now. I may get the larger-scale Kong vs. V-Rex statue down the road, but I'm definitely good for now!

I tip my hat towards you......damn, what a collection! Congrats!

If i could press Thanks more than once, i would ;)
Awesome collection tridon :thumbs:
Good start, keep it up :hilarious:

Thanks, guys -- I appreciate the kind words. My collection will never become too enormous; I'm picky about what I own. The different DVD/Blu-ray editions always come first. :)

Here's something that I consider to be a holy grail to my Kong collection; an original Universal Studios screenplay of the 2005 version of King Kong, hand-signed by Peter Jackson, Naomi Watts, Adrien Brody and Jack Black! Included is an official Certificate of Authenticity from Screen Legends. I'm so thrilled to have this in my collection, though it would've truly been complete with an Andy Serkis signature. Still, it's a beauty to behold! :D
picture.php

I received both a sealed copy of the Italian 2-Disc Collector's Edition for King Kong: Peter Jackson's Production Diaries (complete with slipcover) as well as the brand-new S.H. MonsterArts Kong: 8th Wonder of the World figure from Bandai. The figure ended up being a LOT smaller than I had expected, but it's still a very cool collectible.
picture.php

Finally, thanks to my Kong-pal bloodsnake007, I was able to acquire a COMPLETE copy of the King King Press Kit (beforehand, I only owned the CD that's included within the kit). Apologies for the poor lighting.

This was basically just a quick copy/paste of my original thread. I don't have any 8-foot Kong statues, but everything I do have is definitely special to me. Hope you enjoyed! :thumbs:
