The only ‘humans’ that exist on Skull Island, the Natives are a people living on the brink of extinction. Forced to survive on the meagre sustenance that Skull Island has to offer, the Natives live a half-life cowering behind a huge wall, the only way to protect themselves from the colossus Kong. The official collectibles from Peter Jackson’s epic retelling of the 1930’s classic film, ‘King Kong’. This unique range comes directly from the artists of Weta Workshop, the same team responsible for the creation of Kong’s world.
It is a little known fact that this is one of WETA co-founder Richard Taylor’s favorite Kong pieces. “If I could only own one Kong piece, I would probably have the Skull Island Natives”, says Richard. “I have a passion for figurative sculpting – I have been doing it myself for 25 years … I think that the two native figures from David Meng is an exquisite piece of figurative sculpture. David can push a human figure sculpt to the point that he actually breaks the anatomy. But it is so sublimely handled that you accept it as a plausible piece of sculpture. He breaks the rules and allows a piece to transcend an art collectible and become a piece of fine art.”
