Item History (General)[Show/Hide]
|
In 1964, Palmer Plastics released sets of 8 3" monsters based on classic movie monsters. The styles were a bit crude - but we feel that's a huge part of their charm! Included in the sets are some largely forgotten, esoteric examples - including It the Terror! The 8 monsters released were Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Cyclops from the 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Dracula, Frankenstein, Gorgo, It the Terror from Beyond Space, King Kong, and the Wolfman. The figures came in 4 colors: red, yellow, green, and bluw. The figures must not have been widely received as they're incredibly difficult to locate today.
This listing is for an ALL ORIGINAL King Kong in Yellow! But before you scratch your head going "I don't remember getting that with my other Palmer monsters!??!!" thought we'd let you know that it's from MPC's Jungle Playset from the same time period. Tehcinally, it's not a Palmer Monster BUT we've purcahsed at least 4 collections with one of him in it - so if it was good enough for those 60s kids, it's good enough for us! He stands the exact scale as the Palmers - and you'd never know he wasn't one of them! |
