KONGTOBER 2012 — challenge completed!

kongtober montage king kong

31 days of King Kong–what could be better? I had a lot of fun with this daily blog challenge, though it was more challenging than I would have thought. If I do another Countdown to Halloween, I will have to plan better, and not just grab something off the shelf and photograph it every morning.

Believe it or not, there are a few King Kong items from my collection that did not make it into the Countdown, including the 1976 movie poster, but I accomplished what I set out to do, which was to showcase the wide range of treatments King Kong has received through the years at the hands of artists and toy manufacturers. I hope you enjoyed October as much as I did!

      Thanks man! Unfortunately King Kong socks are one item I don’t have in the collection, otherwise I’d offer them up to you. 😉

    I know I didn’t comment too much but I enjoyed the Kongtober a lot. So I wanted to make a last Kongtober entry: http://traveling-pics.livejournal.com/516697.html
    Happy End of Kongtober!
