Description
Midnight, Fifth Avenue. The taxis have pulled over, the crowds have frozen on the pavement, and every face is turned upward. Far above, at the very top of the tallest tower in the city, a giant ape beats his chest and roars at the searchlights sweeping the clouds. Somewhere in the crowd, a boy in a baseball cap grabs his father’s sleeve and shouts that this is the best night of his whole life.
That moment of cinematic wonder lives on in this collectible. King Kong perches atop a New York tower, painted with remarkable detail from the fur on his shoulders to the windows and spire of the building beneath him. It is a terrific piece of New York memorabilia for anyone who has ever stood on an observation deck, and a fun gift for film fans who know the classic monster movies by heart. Set it on a bookshelf among DVDs and city guidebooks, on a desk in a high-rise office, or beside a framed skyline print, where Kong can survey his kingdom.
