Mouth wide open, teeth bared, eyes locked in that classic mid-roar expression, this King Kong wind-up toy by Marx captures the giant ape in all his wonderfully dramatic glory.
Produced in the 1960s by Louis Marx & Co., the toy is a great example of the company’s knack for turning pop-culture icons into charming mechanical playthings. Covered in brown faux fur with molded black hands, feet, and snarling head, Kong stands upright with a metal collar and chain detail across his chest. Wind the key and he lurches forward with stiff-armed determination, looking every bit like he’s just stepped off a miniature movie set and into your living room.
The back still retains the original Marx Toys label, marked “Made in Japan,” and the mechanism is in working condition.
Measures 7.5" tall.
