Special thanks to Idle Hands for the information and images!
What's interesting to note are the design of the Giant Spider (Which I would like to call Kumonga) and the introduction of the Pterodactylus! The Spider's head, like the Skullcrawler / Dino Monster resemble an actual skull - but the Pterodactylus has a very odd head design. Given that Kong: Skull Island acts as a prequel to the upcoming Godzilla seqiel, Godzilla: King of Monsters, it was expected that the film may make reference to some of the monsters which will feature in King of Monsters. The most obvious being Rodan - the Pterodactyl-like monster from the original Godzilla saga. Could these Pterodactylus act as a precursor to the mighty Rodan?!
The figures are expected to hit shelves mid-February, so be sure to check back often for more updates as they arrive!
