As to "Kong"~ no, never ever saw one. NO OTHER monsters, either. But, who knows? I'd bought a King Kong if available at the time. There were Super Hero/villan plates, yes. My brother Randy and I passed on those. I sold everything in Toy Shop magazine (except Godzilla) so tried to find images of what I sold. I found a paper I printed with only one image. So, I'm posting that (took the pic with my IPhone so blurry). The "Man from U.N.C.L.E." was red with the "Uncle" logo. That's what I remember.

Richard, Check it out! While I'm not the buyer, it turns out Marx did make a kong plate, the same year as the Godzilla. It looks nowhere near as good - they seemed to strike a style in-between the animated series and the traditional Kong, but it's still fun. Any Marx people out there know anything else about these? I wonder why - as far as we know anyway - the didn't produce any with the Uni monsters?

Perhaps someone can grab the eBay shots, host, and post 'em?

Thanks for posting the pics! These really are cool, aren't they? An odd monsters side bar for Marx.

Those are displayed items from my monster room and that is the very same "Kong" figure I've pictured here earlier in this thread (The figure got moved to this display shelf).  :)

Richard, I LOVE that Barnabas Collins game!! That was my first monster toy.......I need to find one!!

I was the one who won the Marx Kong plate. I was going to post photo's when it arrives, but you guys beat me to it.

I would have looked so cool (even cooler than I normally looked) with that plate on the back (or front) of my bike!

Not with those training wheels still on the back.

I'd be a little upset if I didn't win it, too. I thought I was going to get outbid.

Well, I gave it a try, but funds being what they are at the moment... Did you know this existed before you saw it on eBay?

No, I don't remember of seeing one before, but it fits in with other '60's animated Kong stuff I have.
