Apr 13 12 2:52 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	This site claims to have the original dummy that was used to show Kong's (profile shot) fall from the Empire State Building. http://www.creativelydifferentblinds.com/QuirkyStuff/OriginalMiniatureKingKongFigurecreatedforKingKong1933.aspx Some sources stated that a weighted dummy was used. Do you think this is the real deal?

Do you think this is the real deal? I doubt it very much but you can't tell much from such a small photo. If the body is made of cut out foam rubber (as it appears to be in the photo) it's in far too good shape to have been made some 80 years ago. Is there any info on where this was found or who owns it?

It can be seen in one of the "Making Of Film Diaries." I believe it's the diary that featured Bob Burns and the Kong Armature.

No such qualms on here, though, this is a [mostly] relaxed, laid-back place to visit, and easily one of my favorite specialty sites-------EVER! 'the horror..............THE HORROR!'

Right, but the fact that you never acknoweledge anyone's responses makes me wonder if you ever come back and read people's response at all. It's like, who are we talking to here? If people feel like the guy who asked the question is not reading the answers, they're going to stop bothering.

Aug 27 12 1:48 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I was on one site where the atmosphere was so elitist and snobbish, that often I never returned to read the replies by certain members, as they were almost always negative and devisive. Eventually I packed that site in, it was such a relief to do so------no such qualms on here though----I usually always return to comment on a thread I started, even if I leave it a few days sometimes.

That's a community, and that's why I don't think lurkers who have other people post for them are, as Conan Doyle put it, "quite playing the game." -Craig
