The big Kong figure could use more articulations but the sculpt is great.

Yeah, I think so too. Otherwise it's really nice sculpt and he have PAINT! tons of PAINT! TBH I am not sure how much the lack of leg joint would actually bother kids,like one of my most beloved childhood toys is "statue" dark purple~pinkish dinosaur.

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.

I have been saying it a lot too, to all those people who justify the overpriced unpainted hollow chunk of plastic, HOWEVER I think this Kong figure is ten times better then what we could have got today with Hasbro and Mattel! 1980's toys were great beacuse they were a lot of different toy comapnies and not the horrible monopoly of Hasbro and Mattel who "swallowed" so many great small toy companies and either ruined their brands or done nothing with it. So, ovarall this Kong is quit nice, not the greatest and I'm so happy that either Hasbro or Mattel got another license.

Nothing will compare to this:

I watch the movie trailer, it doesn't look bad nor great. It seems like nice movie, that's all. Some of those toys do have articulation and they even come with vechiles! Have you seen recent toys such as the new power rangers and the new JLU line by Mattel?! I doubt Lanard will sell them for such prices, their toys are cheaper then big toy companies...

UPDATE: The Kong figure cost about 45$, screw that.
