Trivia

- A creature named Kongzilla appeared in DC Comics' humor/horror anthology comic book series Plop! #1 (Sept./Oct. 1973). Unlike the statue, this version has the upper body of King Kong and Godzilla's legs and tail. In this story, Kongzilla is shown to be female.
- REBOR revealed a sculpt for a Godzilla/Kong hybrid figure in 2020,[1] but it was never released.
