Polar Lights Model Kits: 4 weeks of Christmas Part 3
Wednesday, December 18, 2013
Santa’s coming soon and in the spirit of giving, we are presenting inside-looks at some of the projects we have in the works here at Polar Lights models. By now you should have seen our updates on Kane and the U.S.S. Reliant. We had given inside looks at earlier stages of both of those earlier in the year. This month we give the unveiling of something new.
Feast you eyes on the 8th wonder of the world, King Kong. This fabulous sculpt was done by Gabriel Marquez. I’ve kept him in mind for this project ever since he contacted me about it when we first go into the model kit biz. The sculpt is currently being reviewed by the licensor. Look for it in 2014. More details when they become available.
Next week… the Queen!
Wow! That is an awesome sculpt!!! Will the kit be resin or styrene? Or this that still yet to be determined?
Jamie, this looks awesome!
I’ve never been a big Kong fan, but this is a definate buy.
Andy
Nice!
I never expected a new King Kong!
I love the base.
Will he be injection molded or resin?
Thanks
I had zero interest in a re-release of an old Aurora Kong kit. And now I see that is not at all what this is. Holy CRAP! A newly sculpted Kong and a dead T Rex! Awesome.
Wow! That looks FREAKIN’ AMAZING!
WOW! Great work. I’ll buy one.
WOW!Good work. I want to buy one.
Y E S !
WOW! That’s fantastic!!!
Fantastic ! About time a Kool King Kong was made !
Way to go polar Lights!!!
Fay Wray too?
Will this be styrene or resin. Looks great.
Resin, styrene or vinyl? Some of us have limited funds and resin kits are usually double or triple the price of styrene and therefore out of range price wise.
Is Kong resin or styrene. Looks like a great kit.
This one will be resin again. Like Kane, there is so much detail that would have to be compromised to eliminate trapping problems if we did it in styrene that we opted to go that direction this time.
I LOVE RESIN…Great!!!
Resin is the Perfect choice for the detail required on this kit…Bring it on !!! I know it has already been asked but will there also be a Fay Wray included?
Kong looks amazing! Hope you guys make a kit for Godzilla 2014 next year…
Officially put me down for the first one available. A MUST HAVE!
Thanks Jamie!
Kong looks great!
Looking forward to this one for sure, no matter what it’s made from I’m excited about this thanks Polar Lights.
I had hoped Alien Queen would show up for Christmas Day. Oh well….Merry Christmas to all!!!
Resin Rocks 🙂
Beautiful model!! Resin is a great choice for the reasons stated!! Jumps right to the top of the best Kong model kits of all time!! Can’t wait to own it!!
Cant wait for this one.
Looking forward to the release! Hope to see more

I have been waiting on this kit for years. Ever since I saw it listed on the booth at WF. I am so stoked it looks phenomenal!!!!
Jamie, I was reading on another hobby forum that this kit has been cancelled also. Is this true? If it is I sure hate that because this looks like it would have been a fantastic kit!!
I would really like to know what happened to the Galileo shuttle craft. after, it’s been two years
