Now we just need Ann, Jack, Denham and some red shirts in an in-scale accessory set and I'll be all set.

Oh absolutely 100%, maybe little holes to peg the red shirts into to look like they're hanging on for dear life... sign me up
It'd probably be pretty easy to set up a diorama too, two pieces of texture painted Styrofoam would do the trick.

I didn't get the NECA Kong before, but with these additions I might just have to reconsider.

I at first thought "I wonder if this means Black and White Kong?" but now that I see it on a better screen, they ARE colored, though rather oddly. I think Illustrated Kong would actually fit with them very well. Not sure if that's deliberate, coincidence, or just me. I'd still pick up a set for the Monster shelf.

Kong looked pretty good but those enemies look like Chris Chan made them out of Crayola Model Magic. I'd love to see O'Brien accurate models/figures like those Harryhausen ones from X-Plus.

There's no way they're making dinosaurs for Kong and NOT making a T-Rex to go with them. They posted this with no caption or info, so it's probably a teaser for a larger set. They look a little small with little-to-no articulation; accessories for a larger figure or part of an "accessory set", perhaps? Thinking that there's more to come regardless!

But, hell, even if this is the whole set, I'm on board. It's crazy seeing a toy of the 2-Legged Lizard, albeit a redesigned one.
This is what I'm thinking. Either accessories for the Meat Eater or part of an accessory set that'll come with smaller creatures.

Accessories with a Meat Eater sounds like it.

I just find it interesting they can skirt this close to the 1933 film, especially with the two-legged lizard. That’s a pretty unique design that isn’t mentioned in the public domain novel (in which that particular creature that menaces Driscoll on the vine is actually a spider).

I might've had one like ten years ago. Type of thing that you don't realize how cool it is until you're nostalgic for it.

I feel like I've seen that before. At like goodwill or something. Hard to say for certain, looks kinda generic. But something seems familiar about it.

Noticing a distinct lack of articulation, aside from the mouth and head on the Pteranodon and maybe the neck of the lizard, but that only ever seems to be a me problem with figures so whatever.

Wish the lizard was closer to the movie model

But I suppose that can't be helped.

Definitely anticipating a big retrosaur now, hopefully several.

I wouldn't be surprised if the two legged skink's tail and the Pteranodon's wings are bendy wire. Would give them articulation that fits without sculpt breaking. Also, I think I can see a peg for a jaw hinge on the skink.

I wonder if the differences are due to stylization on NECA's part or a forced differentiation from the actual film versions due to public domain rights boogaloo. Maybe both?
