i'm not knocking CGI but to be honest i do love the stop motion look and love figures based on it, like the Harryhousen figures X-Plus did a couple years ago, wish somebody would do a full Harryhousen line now. and i think a figure of old stop motion kong would be great done by one of todays better sculptures [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm hopeful Mez will do it right - but I'm also concerned that he doesn't do 'real' very well. Okay, that's not quite accurate - he doesn't do 'real' very often.

Even the move Hellboy stuff was caricaturized slightly, and I don't think Kong needs any of that. But I'll keep my fingers crossed til we actually see photos.
