King Kong's Original Model
More than 72 years before the flashy 2005 remake of King Kong hit the theaters, the original 1933 version was still considered to be the best film in King Kong history. The famous monkey was merely just a 22-inch-tall sculpted replica of a gorilla that was covered in rabbit fur.

Over the years, the rabbit fur slowly rotted away, leaving only the plastic and wire skeleton that held the outside of the giant gorilla in place. In 2009, the skeleton sold for roughly $200,000 to a collector.
