FANTAMATION STUDIO – KONG Art!

FANTAMATION Owner and artist Jim Davidson contacted me recently about some new art work he had done replicating a scene from the original KING KONG film! Using the talents of famed Kong expert Jack Polito to build the Empire State Building’s dome, and using actual photos of the original filming Bi-Plane models, Jim has managed to capture the real essence of KING KONG during the final fight sequence. Beautiful work! You can view the actual KONG stop motion puppet replica that Jim hand crafted HERE!

Stop Motion KING KONG Puppet Replica by Jim Davidson

When Jim first showed me this Stop Motion Puppet he was working on I was very impressed. To view it now, finished, is an entirely new experience! I am in “awe” of this artist’s work! Every detail is perfect to the original. The expressions on the puppet’s face are amazing as is the entire movement of the mechanical armature itself! VERY Impressive! To view the early photos of this piece “In Progress”, please click HERE. The best part about this is that Jim is making a limited run offered to the public! YOU CAN OWN ONE!

This is what Mr. Davidson has to say of this fantastic project…

I’m pretty excited about this Kong project! It’s of course studio scale to the original Marcel Delgado puppet, and I used the Sideshow/Bob Burns replica armature for all my measurements...
