When Warner Bros. unveiled the secondKong: Skull Island trailerback in November, it introduced a disheveled character played byJohn C. Reilly, who has been living on Skull Island with King Kong for quite some time. Towards the end of the footage, he warns of the “Skullcrawlers,” although he admits that name sounds “stupid” once said out loud. As we wait for the next trailer to surface closer to the March 10 release date, toy photos have arrived giving us a better look at these ‘Skullcrawlers’.
The photos first showed up at Idle Hands, revealing the new toy line of 3.75 inch figures from Lanard, which will be on display at Toy Fair 2017, running from February 18 through February 21 in New York City. While there are a number of different sets on display, the “Battle for Survival: Creature Contact Set- Dino Monster with Shack and Figure” is the one that features theSkullcrawler, which is simply called the “Dino Monster” here. The description of the toy reads the following.
“Battle for Survival: Creature Contact Set: Dino Monster with Shack and Figure: Creature alert! Join the Monarch expedition toSkull Islandand prepare to discover the most deadly creatures on planet Earth with the Kong Skull Dino Monster with Shack and Figure. On Skull Island, danger lurks around every corner. With your Sky Devil combat gear you can face the monsters head on…and win!

In the spirit of its worldwide blockbusterGodzilla, Legendary Pictures presents a bold new take on the mythos of another iconic beast withKong: Skull Island, which starsTom Hiddleston(The AvengersandThorseries). Directed byJordan Vogt-Roberts(The Kings of Summer) and written byJohn Gatins(Flight) andMax Borenstein(Godzilla),Kong: Skull Islandwill fully immerse audiences in the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes as a team of explorers ventures deep inside the treacherous, primordial island. Legendary’s story honors the foundations of existing King Kong lore, but places it in an entirely new, distinct timeline. The film will be released in 3D and IMAX 3D by Universal Pictures on March 10, going up against Roadside Attractions’The Wall. Take a look at these new toy photos below fromKong: Skull Island.
