In 1976, 7-11 offered a series of plastic cups as part of the media blitz to promote the King Kong movie. There were four different designs, but sadly, I only have two (so far!).
“There still is only one King Kong.” Was there ever any doubt?

“Don’t be alarmed, ladies and gentlemen. Those chains are made of chrome steel.” All month long, I will be showing off King Kong collectibles from my personal collection in a series called KONGTOBER, so if you’re a fan of King Kong and movie monsters, I think you’re going to like what you see.
These are awesome!!
I have never even seen these. Love all of your Kong stuff. I have a couple of the banks, the liquor decante (one of my faves of all time), large framed Faye Wray poster… and a couple of other pieces.. your collection inspired me! Do you have the McFarlane Kong? Very cool piece of King Kong chained..
I do have the McFarlane figure. It’s coming!
Hey… I am researching these cups and about 140 other 7-11 cups. Interesting to say the least. I noticed you said you didn’t have the other cups yet. Does that mean you are looking for them? Because I do have them, also there are 5 cups not 4. There is 3 blue designs, the red and the yellow cup as well. If you are interested let me know
