Additional Details On Kong: Skull Island Toy Line

Posted on January 13, 2017 at 8:33 am by Joe Moore under General Toy News

I reached out to Lanard Toys to see if we could get some details on the Kong: Skull Island Toy Line that was recently revealed. They were kind enough to get back to me, and I’m happy to share some additional details and more new photos for the upcoming toys. Lanard Toys is aiming for affordability, fun and play across multiple toys styles with the line. They are hoping to make it accessible for kids and collectors for the entire line from vehicles to figures to the Mega Size Kong. They are taking strong cues from their work on The Corps military line as the military plays an important role in the film. Fans of The Corps will immediately recognize the figure and vehicle styles used for the Kong toy line.

The Kong: Skull Island toy line will be exclusive to Walmart stores in the U.S. and will be exclusive to Smyths stores in the UK. These should be hitting stores soon, so keep an eye out. You can also keep up with the toy line on Instagram @kongskullislandtoys. Check out the new photos by reading on. They are very high resolution, and you can see the full size images by saving them or right clicking and choosing “View Image”.

    These toys confirm the presence of the Monarch organization introduced in the 2014 Godzilla film! Let the shared universe commence!

    WOW, Lanard is doing licensed toys now??!! Is that a first?

    The big Kong figure could use more articulations but the sculpt is great.

    That is the reason why this Kong is so much bigger than previous versions, so that he can have a chance against Godzilla.

    Speaking of which, this toy Kong is WAY undersized compare to the humans!

    Are those human sculpts just reused from whatever that budget army line is?

    I just caught something. Are any of those army dudes supposed to be Samuel Jackson and Tom Hiddleston?

    Gotta say I am so glad Lanard has scored a major toy license. I hope they get more in the future.

    There's something wonderfully 80s about this line and I don't know why. Hope the movie makes the license worth it for them, though it seems like a bit of a demographic difference between the toys and the audience. Oh well, the big Kong is cool, but I was hoping for NECA to score it and have some Kong v Godzilla v Pacific Rim display. But I guess NECA isn't totally out of the realm of possibility yet?

    NECA said today they have no interest in toys for the movie.

    that's a shame. A lot of the creatures from this seem tailor made for NECA.

    Sorry, but I gotta tell it how it is. This movie looks like garbage and the figures sum that up perfectly. They are rehashed dollar store toys which will likely sell for $10-$20 a piece. The only thing this movie has going for it is Tom hiddleston and Samuel L. Jackson. Which is obviously the reason why they casted them...

    Nothing will compare to this:

    It's weird how toy design seems to be DE-volving since the 2014 year or so. I had toys in 1980 that had better articulation than some of these, Kong is ridiculously terrible in that regard... not even any moving legs? And soldiers that are stuck to one pose?
    The spider does look impressive as do the vehicles. The Dino Monster makes me laugh, what the hell is that? It has no forearms, just two legs, yet managed to paint a skull pattern on its face? And whatever happened to the Pterodactyl, is it an unholy spawn of Chtulhu with all those tentacles coming out of its jaws???
    Oh and the guy who comes with the pterodactyls has a hilariously bad cartoony "WHAAAAT???" face. I swear, the Chap Mei chinese bootleg GI Joe wannabees look better sculpted than this.

    Yeah, I too would think Neca would've wanted this license. Especially since it's supposed to be in the same universe as Godzilla, and their Luca figure was pretty sought after. Bummer.

    I'm keeping an open mind.. I'm pretty interested to see it. I'm curious as to how they'll give nods to Godzilla.

    So basically: Mostly rehashed Corps! stuff with some dinosaurs, a couple new headsculpts, and a big Kong.

    Something I've been wondering about the crossover with Kong and Godzilla is if Monster Island and Skull Island may end up being the same local? (Assuming they do a Monster Island in this iteration of the franchise.)

    Well I like it! I'm in for the creatures. Hopefully they'll fit in with my budget. 18" Kong could have used leg articulation, mainly to have a more natural gorilla pose (on all fours).

    Yeah, I think so too. Otherwise it's really nice sculpt and he have PAINT! tons of PAINT! TBH I am not sure how much the lack of leg joint would actually bother kids,like one of my most beloved childhood toys is "statue" dark purple~pinkish dinosaur.

    I have been saying it a lot too, to all those people who justify the overpriced unpainted hollow chunk of plastic, HOWEVER I think this Kong figure is ten times better then what we could have got today with Hasbro and Mattel! 1980's toys were great beacuse they were a lot of different toy comapnies and not the horrible monopoly of Hasbro and Mattel who "swallowed" so many great small toy companies and either ruined their brands or done nothing with it. So, ovarall this Kong is quit nice, not the greatest and I'm so happy that either Hasbro or Mattel got another license.

    Nothing will compare to this:

    I watch the movie trailer, it doesn't look bad nor great. It seems like nice movie, that's all. Some of those toys do have articulation and they even come with vechiles! Have you seen recent toys such as the new power rangers and the new JLU line by Mattel?! I doubt Lanard will sell them for such prices, their toys are cheaper then big toy companies...

    UPDATE: The Kong figure cost about 45$, screw that.

    I was hoping for someone to make toys for Skull Island, but this isn’t exactly what I wanted. Interesting that Lanard is trying out licensed toys, but these are not great. I might grab the Kong figure to go against the giant size 2014 Godzilla that Jakks made. The figure included with the lizard creature and the hut looks quite a bit like Samuel L Jackson if you look close. And the blonde guy driving the Jeep looks a lot like Tom Hiddleston.

    It’s a shame that NECA seems to have dismissed this movie, they have done figures for the last two giant monster movies from Legendary, and this Kong is going to crossover with Godzilla, so the relationship is there. I would have liked a 7” Kong on the shelf with big G and Gipsy Danger. Hopefully there will be a MonsterArts King Kong in the not too distant future…
