The model of King Kong featured in the original 1933 epic film, is seen ahead of its auction, in central London, in this Thursday Nov. 19, 2009 file photo. The tiny King Kong figurine that helped launch the career of one of cinema’s biggest monsters has sold for about 121,000 pounds ($200,000) at a London auction Tuesday Nov. 24 2009. Auctioneer Christie’s says the 22-inch (56-centimeter) skeleton was the one used in the climactic scene of the 1933 movie in which the giant ape climbs New York’s Empire State Building.
