My fave is by Acheson...just love the pose and facial expression.





He is quite good but price plus shipping from the US, together with the UK's PO handling fee rules him out!
Waiter, my soup is giggling.

Bummer.

Here’s my Kong family...

Left is Safari Ltd., right Acheson. The two juveniles are unknown make, they came from a thrift store. 28mm Jessica Lange for scale...  :)



Safari Ltd usually available at Michaels here in USA, with their coupon, should come to about $10-12. Let me know if you’re interesed I could send one your way.

That's generous thanks. Think I'll plump for the chest-beater though!

Well I didn't plump for the chest-beater! In the end I took a punt on the cheap China option, and I'm not disappointed. He's a good size, and although he's hollow he's sturdy. There's a substantial line running below his shoulders, but nothing a little GS won't fix!

Repainted the big guy. Perhaps a little too much blue in the highlights on the face, but all in all I'm pleased with how he turned out:

Nice paint job, makes me want to strip down to my grass skirt, tie up some fetching blonde thing to some sacrificial posts and chant 'Kong' to the wee hours of the morn. Great stuff.
