1976 king kong 7-11 cup

October 20, 2012 By 4 Comments

KONGTOBER 20 — 1976 King Kong 7-11 Cups

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 […]

KONGTOBER 19 — 1977 King Kong Lunchbox by Thermos

Remember the days when every kid at school had a metal lunchbox? The cool kids were lugging this one around… This King Kong lunchbox by Thermos was released in 1977 to coincide with the media blitz that accompanied the release of the movie.

KONGTOBER 18 — 1976 King Kong “Astride Towers” jigsaw puzzle

Here’s another jigsaw puzzle from the 1976 King Kong movie, called “Astride Towers.” This puzzle has 150 pieces, and measures 14″ x 10″ when complete.

KONGTOBER 17 — MAD Magazine #192 King Kong parody

Mad Magazine #192 from July 1977 skewers the 1976 Dino De Laurentiis movie with a spoof titled “King Korn.” I love this cover by Bob Jones. Nobody does it better than Mad Magazine’s Harry North and Dick De Bartolo! Here are a few snippets… Sergio Aragones produced four pages of his signature humor. Here are […]

vintage king kong ceramic bank made in japan

KONGTOBER 16 — Vintage King Kong chalkware bank

This vintage chalkware bank was made in Japan, but beyond that I really don’t know much about it. It’s old, and it may or may not be an officially-licensed King Kong product, but if it’s not, it sure looks like it is!   The bank stands around 8″ tall. There’s a coin slot on Kong’s […]

1977 rko king kong bank

KONGTOBER 15 — 1977 RKO King Kong plastic coin bank

We’ve just about reached the halfway point for KONGTOBER, and today’s offering is an excellent plastic bank produced by RKO General in 1977. Kong is straddling what appears to be a Pagoda in this bank so maybe this was based on the King Kong vs. Godzilla movie rather than the just-released Dino De Laurentiis movie. […]
