King Kong's skeleton

King Kong's skeleton sold for $218K.

Lots of blog crossover with this post. I originally posted this on Millions of Monkeys, but it seemed to fit within the criteria for my other blogs too. King Kong is one of my favorite movie characters (not to mention monsters) of all time [Kanye, stay out of this. I'm not letting you interupt].

This was the armature used in the stop-motion filming of the original King Kong from 1933.

Robert Berry has a one-eyed green octopus monster on his shoulder.

I've never officially met Robert Berry, the webmaster at Retrocrush, but we've connected through our sites, blogs and Facebook. He's got a lot of the same interests and appreciations as I do, so when I saw he changed his profile picture to this one it made sense to ask him if he would like to grace the face of Millions of Monsters… as the second post. We've come a long way, baby!

And, since we share a specific appreciation for the king of all monsters, here's a link to his article on The Censored Scenes of King Kong.
