These toys confirm the presence of the Monarch organization introduced in the 2014 Godzilla film! Let the shared universe commence!

WOW, Lanard is doing licensed toys now??!! Is that a first?
The big Kong figure could use more articulations but the sculpt is great. |

Are those human sculpts just reused from whatever that budget army line is?

I just caught something. Are any of those army dudes supposed to be Samuel Jackson and Tom Hiddleston?

Gotta say I am so glad Lanard has scored a major toy license. I hope they get more in the future.

There's something wonderfully 80s about this line and I don't know why. Hope the movie makes the license worth it for them, though it seems like a bit of a demographic difference between the toys and the audience. Oh well, the big Kong is cool, but I was hoping for NECA to score it and have some Kong v Godzilla v Pacific Rim display. But I guess NECA isn't totally out of the realm of possibility yet?

that's a shame. A lot of the creatures from this seem tailor made for NECA.

Sorry, but I gotta tell it how it is. This movie looks like garbage and the figures sum that up perfectly. They are rehashed dollar store toys which will likely sell for $10-$20 a piece. The only thing this movie has going for it is Tom hiddleston and Samuel L. Jackson. Which is obviously the reason why they casted them...
Nothing will compare to this: |

It's weird how toy design seems to be DE-volving since the 2014 year or so. I had toys in 1980 that had better articulation than some of these, Kong is ridiculously terrible in that regard... not even any moving legs? And soldiers that are stuck to one pose?
The spider does look impressive as do the vehicles. The Dino Monster makes me laugh, what the hell is that? It has no forearms, just two legs, yet managed to paint a skull pattern on its face? And whatever happened to the Pterodactyl, is it an unholy spawn of Chtulhu with all those tentacles coming out of its jaws??? Oh and the guy who comes with the pterodactyls has a hilariously bad cartoony "WHAAAAT???" face. I swear, the Chap Mei chinese bootleg GI Joe wannabees look better sculpted than this. |

Yeah, I too would think Neca would've wanted this license. Especially since it's supposed to be in the same universe as Godzilla, and their Luca figure was pretty sought after. Bummer.

Something I've been wondering about the crossover with Kong and Godzilla is if Monster Island and Skull Island may end up being the same local? (Assuming they do a Monster Island in this iteration of the franchise.)

Well I like it! I'm in for the creatures. Hopefully they'll fit in with my budget. 18" Kong could have used leg articulation, mainly to have a more natural gorilla pose (on all fours).

That Pterodactyl thing looks like the Flood from Halo got to it first!

Nothing will compare to this: UPDATE: The Kong figure cost about 45$, screw that.

I was hoping for someone to make toys for Skull Island, but this isn’t exactly what I wanted. Interesting that Lanard is trying out licensed toys, but these are not great. I might grab the Kong figure to go against the giant size 2014 Godzilla that Jakks made. The figure included with the lizard creature and the hut looks quite a bit like Samuel L Jackson if you look close. And the blonde guy driving the Jeep looks a lot like Tom Hiddleston.
It’s a shame that NECA seems to have dismissed this movie, they have done figures for the last two giant monster movies from Legendary, and this Kong is going to crossover with Godzilla, so the relationship is there. I would have liked a 7” Kong on the shelf with big G and Gipsy Danger. Hopefully there will be a MonsterArts King Kong in the not too distant future…
