I found this guy this past weekend at a used toys store. Never saw one this color before. Hes huge, roughly 13" tall. Ive seen the black one before but never the pink one. Anyone have any info. I found the following: www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/bootleg/king_kong_0regardless its a thing of pink beauty. here he is hanging with a small Imperial version of himself and Skullforce. he has no markings... only "Made in China" on each of his feet. also, in the write up above, the guys says its white vinyl painted pink. Im not sure thats right. seems more like pink vinyl to me. however i could be wrong. he also says his is the only one hes ever seen. not anymore, mwa ha ha ha!!!!

I can't believe nobody's responded yet. That is utterly FANTASTIC. Really incredible. Such glorious flagrant personality.
I also can't believe you found it at a local used store, no less. Really inspires me to check mine more often (except Greedwill who sucks), but I don't think any of us will find anything like that. 0-0

Yeah I totally missed this post back in August. That definitely looks like the pink is not painted on since the inside of the joints have no other color showing through. What a great, unique piece to have in your collection!

So cool, great score! I've found some random awesome stuff at thrift stores in the past. My best score was an original Rancor, opened but super good condition, for $10.
The pink makes it kinda creepy for some reason. ALSO, awesome Booska's! Do I know you from Skullbrain?

On eBay now for $600. It's listed under "Giant pink king kong". Seems to be a new trend in selling rare (and not-so-rare) ko's. Put them on eBay for insane prices and hope someone offers you more than it's really worth.
(insert standard rare toy value debate here)
I should add, the seller is not skullbooska.

Why in the world did it make it in pink? A mystery, really.
