I was just kidding about the NSFW. But from a distance, it could look like something questionable... |

I ask this question all the time and I guess no kaiju geek's on skullbrain know (or are not revealing): "Why is it so hard to track Butanohana Kongs (or Gorilla's) down?" It seems as though most of the other dino's etc are readily available but are the kong's only included in sets? Bueller Bueller anyone anyone? C. |

The foot just says, "Gorilla" (and that is the correct foot, right side up). The Kongs might be out of production/out of stock, as they're not shown on Buta's website. Another one not shown is the Iguanadon, which is also harder to find. GT found a Kong once, pretty recently- might e-mail Chris on that. As an added note, if you look at these photos: (Thanks, data)   ...there's color variations of the Giganotosaurus, Corythosaurus and Carnotaurus, as well as a Pachycephalosaurus sculpt, that I've never seen for sale. So who knows what is really out there. |

When Toho came out with their Godzilla vs. King Kong movie in '62 they didn't have a liscence to use the King Kong character from Universal. Because of that there is always an issue with Toho not wanting to liscence anything associated with their Kong for fear of stirring up the Universal legal department. As a result most toys related to the Toho Kong are sold as "giant ape" toys. The first was the Marusan giant ape, the Bandai kong is also a generic "ape" figure, and more recently the mysterious company called APES released accurate representations of both the '62 and '67 Toho Kongs. Apparently the legal hubub is so great that a fake company was necessary to avoid the liscence issues. It's interesting that Buta No Hana actually had a liscence from Toho to make vinyls of the characters from the '62 film. They made a '62 King Goji and even an Oodako (giant octopus) under that Toho liscence but opted to give their ape figure a generic name. And as to why you don't see the Buta Apes more often, it's just because they are so fucking cool. Plus, because Kong figures are so rare and somewhat black market, collectors love them and won't part with them. I know I won't. Here's my APES '62 Kong hanging with the Buta apes and friends.
