EDIT: Thanks to Jon K of Random Acts of Geekery (I knew I could count on Jon for the answer!) I now know this is the Palmer Plastics Company King Kong from their Unbreakable Movie Monsters pack released in the mid 1960s, and that he also originally came with a tiny Fay Wray (wish he still had her.)

Gorilla my dreams
Does anyone know the origin of this King Kong looking gorilla?
EDIT: Thanks to Jon K of Random Acts of Geekery (I knew I could count on Jon for the answer!) I now know this is the Palmer Plastics Company King Kong from their Unbreakable Movie Monsters pack released in the mid 1960s, and that he also originally came with a tiny Fay Wray (wish he still had her.)
He is a couple inches tall, and is cast in solid blue plastic.
He also looks like he's hailing a cab.
I found him at the swap meet, and I got him for free the same day (and from the same vendor) I got my little blue Zonkers alien.
He's a little rough, and if I had to guess I'd figure he's older than the Zonkers guy who came out in the eighties.
"Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal!"

Da da da daaaa...Imperial!
ROOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My little post about an Imperial dinosaur I found inspired fellow toy nut "Chunky B" of Eclectorama to post about his Imperial Godzilla. Which in turn inspired me to post my Imperial King Kong.

I recently bought this guy off eBay because he was part of an auction that included a 6" Imperial Godzilla that I was after. I believe King Kong came out in 1985 or so, at the same time Imperial was producing Godzilla.
He's a pretty good likeness of King Kong...better than the Godzilla offerings from Imperial. His arms move, and I added a little plastic car for him to toss through the air in a fit of primal fury!

Uh Oh...while roaming the forest Kong has crossed paths with the monstrous SmallZilla!

Run, Kong, Run! Don't just stand there...she's likely to....

SMOOOOCH!
Yech...cat germs!
