Logic would dictate that with the shared monster-verse and Legendary having both Godzilla and King Kong (and planning a movie featuring them together) Toho could allow NECA to make a 62 Kong, since NECA also deals with Legendary.

Honestly, it sounds so easy: "They can make Godzilla from the movie so why not Kong?" but who knows how difficult it really is.

And I personally will still not believe that NECA makes anything other than Legendary monsters until I've seen an actual Showa or Heisei Kaiju that isn’t Godzilla himself.

I feel like Toy Fair in February might give us some answers. I do love this new packaging, and it is a sign that they are about to change things. The figure itself looks solid too but without a Kong to go with it I feel no desire to buy it. If they do unveil a Toho King Kong at Toy Fair then both are bought.
