The primal savagery of Skull
Island clashes against the urban sophistication of 1933 New York
as man and monster battle for supremacy on the chessboard.
Kong, ruler of the dark and
terrifying Skull Island, a world of tangled jungle,
superstitious sacrifice and nightmarish monsters, beats his
chest in defiance against the might of the industrial age. New
York, urban pinnacle of the western world and symbolic of the
artificial power of man, is his adversary, having taken from
Kong, that which he most loves, the beautiful Ann Darrow.
The Chess Set is Weta Sculptor
Ryk Fortuna's favourite piece out of all the Kong Collectible
range. "It's so cool", grins Ryk. "It's functional. It's
gorgeous, it's tactile. It's that next step in what I term as
fine art. I'm gonna get one of those!"
The chess pieces range in size
from approx. 70mm H x 25mm W x 25mm L to 89mm H x 32mm W x 32mm
