Some very nice props in the background there! I also like the idea that this pair are friends it seems rather appropriate!

I would like to see Jackson release a complete pictorial inventory of his prop collection. I know he has the Styracosaurus model from the original KING KONG that was deleted from the final release.

That would certainly be something to see! I know that he had some of the other props from the 1933 Kong as they where showcased in some of the behind the scenes extras on the dvd.

What an amazing collection. Thank goodness for people like Jackson, Bob Burns and Forrest Ackerman before them who saw the value in this stuff and in some cases early on saved them from the trash can. Problem is there is no central repository so this stuff is mostly in private hands and in the case of Ackerman when he died his collection got split up amongst many private collectors. I can see Jackson bought many of Rick Baker's props when he closed his shop for good and put it all up for auction. It is too bad Hollyweird can't get together with one central museum. I know Burns doesn't trust museums because of past experience and there were at least two small separate museums in Hollywood when I was there once. We went to one of them and while they had some neat sets like the Cheers & Star Trek sets they didn't have an inventory like this.
Thanks for posting.

This isn't dinosaur related, but this is more from Peter Jeckson's movie prop collection---the John Chambers (PLANET OF THE APES) CIA makeup kit.
