That's the old Aurora model on the left and a finished model from the new movie. I don't know when the Aurora kit is from, but I would guess the 1960's. That ape looks nearly retarded in the old model. There's something wrong with the new Kong too. That's life, huh. Here's a great Lego Kong.

I was looking for some other image using Google image ripper and found this picture of a toy that appears to be of a cartoony plane suspended between two cartoony buildings . Then I found this story from 2004 on the WFTV Channel 9 Orlando website. Some lady bought a bag of toys and candy for her some grandson. This toy was one of the selections in the bag. She was upset at that toy. There is a slide show at the news site which has some pictures of toys like a cell phone with Osama Bin Laden in the picture window. The pictures are in a flash slide show so I couldn't down load them. I did find another picture from Joe's Blog. I don't know who Joe is but his blog had a picture of the bag the toy came in. It's got some candy in it and the buildings appear to be different colors. The slide show on the news site has another building toy with a guy hanging between them. The toys and candy came from the Lisy Corp,who bought them from L&M Imports, who didn't find the toy offensive at all. I don't know that I do either. It just looks stupid. Plus we don't know what the toy does. That green button could make the plane spin. Yeah, spinning uncontrolably before it crashes into the building. Plus those buildings just don't look like the WTC at all. There was some complaints about the toy on this blog and some guy tried to sell one on ebay, the bid was over 5 grand, but he got shut down. The Osama figure with the burning World Trade Center is much more blatant. Somebodies always got to hate someone, or their toys.
