Mego stuffed King Kong

[cjefferys]

I have two of the stuffed King Kongs that Mego had made in conjunction with the 1976 remake. The smaller one is about 15" high, while the larger one is nearly 24" high (he's huge!). One of Mego's catalogues shows three different sizes that were to be available. Was the third size made? If so (or not), was it supposed to be larger or smaller than the other two? Anyone have any info about this? Here's a pic of the two I have, I just wanted to know if there is an additional one I should be hunting down:



In the top left of the pic you can also see the Mego vinyl Kong that Takara made and sold in Japan. I'm still looking for the Mego/Bullmark vinyl Kong. Anyone have one they want to sell?

If they made 3 different sizes then I hope for your sake the 24" Kong is the biggest

That's for sure. If they made a 3 foot tall version, I'm probably screwed.

I'm guessing the other one was planned to be smaller or in between the two that I have. Actually, John Bonavita's Mego book lists a 14", 20" and 26" Kong (the latter two say "unknown" for values). I wonder if he got that info from the 1977 Mego catalogue where these are supposed to be listed. Here at the Museum, there's a pic from the catalogue in the Kong gallery, but not of the write up below the pictures (there are scans from the 1977 catalogue in the library section, but no pages showing the plush Kongs, only the other Kong stuff). Anyone have a full scan of the page showing the plush Kongs?

Here's all I can find:

Other companies besides MEGO made those plush Kongs.
