On Friday, NECA posted a photo to their Facebook page that seemed to hint at an upcoming creature/dinosaur pack to go along with their classic King Kong figure.
In case you think those beasts look a bit wonky, it’s because they are based on their appearance in the original 1933 King Kong film.
Although the first creature is often mislabeled as a pterodactyl, it was actually a pteranodon that tormented Kong back on Skull Island.

The other creature appears to be a Pit Lizard, which only made a brief appearance in the 1933 film and later served as inspiration for the skull crawlers we saw in 2017’s Kong: Skull Island.

NECA has yet to make an official announcement detailing what these items will be called and if they’re part of a larger line or just an accessory pack.
If they decide to make a series of toys based on the 1933 Skull Island creatures, however, then NECA will be getting a lot more of my money in the future.
