Hello friends,
Do you have a sideshow King Kong armature
In mint condition for sale?  If you do pm me lets talk!!

Yeah I want one of these as well. This is a piece that goes on my bucket list, I would LOVE to own one before I die, please!!! :)
King Kong 1933 is my favorite movie of all time. I watch it every halloween, and also on thanksgiving day.
The last time I saw one of these for sale they were still 500 bucks and more. I believe these were done by Bob Burns, who has the original.
I think if I could just TOUCH the original I would pass out from sheer love of it.

agreed I love Ray Harryhausen stuff, and from what I read they actually took apart one of the two original Kongs and made Joe out of those pieces. The fact it can be associated with both Kong and Mighty Joe just makes it even better huh?

you bet, there was talk a few years back they were going to make a mjy armature
i know ray last year was gifted one of them it was great but the guy who made him
for some reason has not made anymore what a shame!!

I know. I just don't understand the lack of desire to replicate these, it's not as if the market has been saturated with em.
I'd be willing to part with good money for one. We should create a movement , ha. :)

no sir I am not, I am actually a southern born man.
I would love to talk to you more but I wont be around very long, because of ignorant hateful children who hate what I like, and will ban me cause they cannot allow it on their petty little board. they are not MAN enough to discuss anything instead they choose to be f&*%ing nazis about it, thus proving my point that anyone who hates Ray Ferry and all he does are stupid petty children with a vendetta bigger than their cocks, and brains.
I did appreciate the chat guys, and I hope you learn from my banishment that this messageboard is run by complete douchebags.
have a good day.

Meanwhile, back on topic.

Here is a great shot of Forrest J. Ackerman with the ORIGINAL Kong armanture in the foreground. The Kong armature is preserved by another genre godfather...Bob Burns.



So, who here actually owns one of the Sideshow reproductions? What number do you have? Got any pictures to share of you with yours?
