I remember this still showing up in the "coming attractions" section of a mid-1970s issue of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND, captioned something like "King Kong vs. Mecha-Kong," which led me to hope Toho was producing a sequel to their 1968 apish installment. Hope may spring eternal, but it was dashed in this case.
I know what you mean... there were so many possibilities for sequels to all of the Toho movies that never happened... I mean, after War of the Gargantuas, why not a Godzilla Vs. Frankenstein or King Kong Vs. Frankenstein?

Come back daily to check out vintage posters, stills, lobby cards, toys, and other Godzilla-related collectibles, plus stuff from other giant monster movies, like Gorgo, Frankenstein Conquers the World, War of the Gargantuas, King Kong Escapes, and more!
