So back in 2021 The Asylum released Ape vs. Monster, their “response” to Godzilla vs. Kong. Say what you will about that movie, but I was AMAZED by the design of the titular monster, Gila, and was about to praise the hell out of them for it:
...but then it turned out they just bought the model from TurboSquid and so can you too (link in the source), it’s called “Dino Beast”:
So now they released a sequel to their movie, Ape vs. Mecha Ape, and the design of the titular Mecha Ape is also amazing. Suspiciously so.
youtube
I couldn’t find the model on TurboSquid, but I thought it looked familiar.
Searching for figures online where I live it’s very common to come across bootlegs, now more than ever with 3D printing technology, some people may get their hands on the file of a model someone else did and either sell the 3d printed figure or the file itself, most likely without the original artist’s knowledge. Add to that the popularity of Godzilla vs. Kong, wich featured a Mechagodzilla, and you come across stuff like this:
Meet “Mecha King Kong”, as online sellers call it. I assume they won’t call it “Mechanikong” because if you know who that is you probably will know this isn’t an official thing. I can’t find who the original artist is.
Now the bodies look completely different, but the head...
There are some differences, like the eyeballs, the forehead, the jaw, and the lenght of the “airvents”. But many of the details are so similar I simply can’t believe it’s just a coincidence:
Now, if the guys at The Asylum are one thing, it’s legaly savvy. There is a reason they’ve succesfully been in the mockbuster business for DECADES. I’m sure they didn’t steal an asset like these neobootleggers probably did, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the “Mecha Ape” and “Mecha King Kong” 3D models have a common origin somewhere down the line.
If there is something I take from all this unprompted cashing-in on robot gorillas, is that if the Godzilla vs. Kong sequel were to feature a robot Kong (Mechanikong or otherwise), audiences and bootlegers would welcome it with open arms.
(Also is this “Ape” fella going to be their new “Mega Shark”?)

All Godzilla (and most King Kong) Movies: Personal Tier List
When Godzilla Minus One came out, knowing that Godzilla x Kong was coming out only four months later, a friend and I decided to part take in the long journey of watching every theatrical Godzilla film to date, including the original King Kong, King Kong Escapes, and King Kong 2005 to have a little history leading into Kong: Skull Island. We skipped the 80's Kong movie as it was rather derivative to the original and Peter Jackson version. Without further ado, and plenty of consideration, this is the ranking off all the movies for myself!
Godzilla Minus One
Godzilla vs Destroyah
Kong: Skull Island
Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack
Godzilla vs Megaguirus
Godzilla vs Mothra 1992
Shin Godzilla
(The Return of) Godzilla 1984
Godzilla 1954
Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla
Godzilla vs Space Godzilla
Godzilla: Terror of Mecha-Godzilla
Godzilla x Kong: New Empire
King Kong 2005
Godzilla vs Kong
Godzilla vs King Ghidorah
Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters
Godzilla against Mecha-Godzilla
Godzilla vs. Mecha-Godzilla 2
Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla vs Hedorah
Godzilla: Eborah, Horror of the Deep
Godzilla 2014
Godzilla: Tokyo SOS
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Godzilla vs Mothra 1964
Godzilla 2000
King Kong Escapes
Godzilla: Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster
King Kong vs Godzilla 1963
Godzilla vs. Megalon
Godzilla vs Gigan
Godzilla: Invasion of the Astro Monster
King Kong 1933
Godzilla: The Planet Eater
Godzilla: Son of Godzilla
Godzilla 1998
Godzilla Final Wars
Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters
Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle
Godzilla Raids Again
Godzilla: All Monsters Attack
Showa Era
Godzilla 1954
Godzilla: Terror of Mecha-Godzilla
Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla
Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters
Godzilla vs Hedorah
Godzilla: Eborah, Horror of the Deep
Godzilla vs Mothra Showa
King Kong Escapes
Godzilla: Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster
King Kong vs Godzilla 1963
Godzilla vs. Megalon
Godzilla vs Gigan
Godzilla: Invasion of the Astro Monster
King Kong 1933
Godzilla: Son of Godzilla
Godzilla Raids Again
Godzilla: All Monsters Attack
Heisei Era
Godzilla vs Destroyah
Godzilla vs Mothra
The Return of Godzilla
Godzilla vs Space Godzilla
Godzilla vs King Ghidorah
Godzilla vs. Mecha-Godzilla 2
Godzilla vs Biollante
Millenium Era
Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack
Godzilla vs Megaguirus
King Kong 2005
Godzilla against Mecha-Godzilla
Godzilla Tokyo SOS
Godzilla 2000
Godzilla 1998
Godzilla Final Wars
Reiwa
Godzilla Minus One
Kong: Skull Island
Shin Godzilla
Godzilla x Kong: New Empire
Godzilla vs Kong
Godzilla 2014
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Godzilla: The Planet Eater
Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters
Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle
I am willing to explain my reasonings in any reblog if people are curious on specific rankings.
