Hong Kong Gorilla by Imperial Toys
Sure, it's a total King Kong rip off but at the same time, it's an accurate description as to where he was produced.

King Kong went to Hong Kong to play ping pong with his ding dong -
"Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

I still have my rubber gorillas from the 70's. I recall taking the bus to Japantown (San Francisco) pretty often to buy these guys for 59 cents. This would be about 1974.
This is not the EXACT gorilla shown on the Imperial Toys ad, but it's a close relative. For some odd reason, most rubber gorillas of that era had EXACTLY the same pose.Comment

I love how the artwork makes Hong Kong Gorilla look very nonchalant.
But the actual toy looks like a gorilla fetus in agonyComment
