A set perfect for pirates/adventure/dinosaur type theme appreciators!

The 1932 novelization of Kong is in the public domain. I built the set around this version like have various previous different forms of media and films. I have included some snippets from the 1932 novelization in the description that help illustrate the set. It would be an epic model to have in real LEGO and I hope you feel the same as I do!

Play Features:

extendable peninsula
rotating pillars with gears to open each giant gate door
island can split apart
collapsing ruins column
collapsing altar pillars
sliding raft waterfall drop
opening ravine
rotating wooden rope-bridge

The island is shaped as a skull and has plenty of space for minifigures. There is a lair in Skull Mountain.

Denham rasped impatiently. "The mountain!" His eyes tried to pierce the fog. "The mountain that looks like a skull."

"the lost world of Skull Mountain Island."

"Driscoll began to catch glimpses of the tip of Skull Mountain. And by that time Kong's purposeful travel made it additionally plain that he was on his way to his lair., That lair could be nowhere except up the slope of the island's highest peak,"

The "Wanderer" ship is included:

"She was rescued from the very grasp of Kong by the Wanderer's brave mate, Mr. John Driscoll." "the roll and thunder of the Wanderer's reversing engines."

Included is the altar which Kong takes people from:

"a stone altar as ancient as the wall it faced. Its steeply ascending steps were spotted with hoary lichens. Its platform, some dozen feet above the ground, lay under inches of furry green moss... Two worn pillars, splendidly carved, rose out of the platform a short arm's width apart." "I got a fair look. I saw that Thing's head squarely in line with the top of those pillars and they stand twenty feet above the ground if they stand an inch."

The log ravine:

"The ravine was very deep, with a thick deposit of mud and slime at the bottom. Alongside this reeking deposit, and indeed all the way up the steep sides, were narrow mouthed caves and long, jagged fissures in the rock."

huts and Ancient ruins including pillars on the peninsula:

"Nothing but those few huts at the edge of the brush on the peninsula." "scattering of magnificent, broken columns of carved stone, and fragments of skillfully built walls." "at length to the edge of the Village. Forward extended the almost treeless stretch of land running down to the beach and the boats."

The wall is intensely based on the description in the 1932 public domain book:

"As the party sloped up from the water line and achieved some small elevation the wall began to bulk large, although still far off. It was enormous. The Norwegian skipper's crude sketch had poorly estimated the mighty barrier which ran the full extent of the peninsula. Brush closed in upon its base. There were even occasional intervening trees. But all growth stopped far below the rampart's top. Its vastness was not dwarfed even by the overhanging precipice. It was made chiefly of huge logs. At one point, however, there seemed to be a gate hinged to massive stone pillars supporting the story of the structure's antiquity."

Water on the plain:

"I told you this water led by the chute down to the Plain of the Altar? That's the chute we are hearing.""

Waterfall from the mountain side:

"This was a great spout of water bursting from the very side of the mountain itself. A white, misty torrent, it had dug a deep pit under its point of egress and from this it spilled into a narrow channel to tumble down and disappear into the jungle below"
