We Totally Want to Play with These Awesome ‘Kong: Skull Island’ Toys
The biggest Kong EVER is headed to the toy shelf.
This year’s Toy Fair takes over the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York from February 18th through the 21st, and we cannot wait to see all the new horror toys and collectibles that are going to be shown off at the event. We expect companies like NECA and Funko to impress the hell out of us, as they always do, and we’ve already got your first little sneak peek today.
We thank Idle Hands for the below images of Lanard’s first wave of Kong: Skull Island figures, set to hit toy shelves next month – the film arrives in theaters on March 10th, so that gives you plenty of time to play before Kong tears up the big screen once more. The wave of toys, subtitled “Battle for Survival: Creature Contact,” includes all sorts of vehicle playsets such as a jeep, a helicopter, and a boat, and most of the sets come with cool monster toys depicting everything from a Dino Monster to a massive spider. Looks like the film will be HEAVY on the creatures.
Coolest of all, the wave will be highlight by a gargantuan 18″ poseable “mega-figure” of the new Kong, which absolutely towers over the rest of the toys in the collection. We kinda need it.
Check out the images below and see many more over on Idle Hands!

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
