1977 Figuritas Cine Acción : King Kong
The Figuritas Cine Acción collector album was released in 1977 and
distributed in the Argentine Republic. The album showcases scenes from the
1976 film King Kong starring Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin, and Jessica
Lange. The photo cards are copyrighted "1976 by Dino De Laurentiis
Corporation".
The designs and photographs are identical to the King Kong trading
card set issued by Topps Chewing Gum in 1976. The numbering format is
different for the Argentina release. The base set contains 60 photo cards from
the film and a 32-piece King Kong sticker puzzle.
The insert sets are small round discs similar to pieces used in the Hawaiian
milk cap cover game, commonly known as POGs. There are two die-cut round discs on each insert card. Each disc is
approximately 3.5 cm, or 1.4 inches in diameter.
"Héroes de la Aventura" feature characters from DC Comics including Superman,
Supergirl, and a
rare appearance of Spectre (Espectro), created by
Jerry Siegel.
Superman appears on disc #79.
The "Clubes de Fútbol" subset consists of 16 discs showcasing the logos of
popular football clubs in Argentina. "Emblemas Aeros" is a 17-piece set of
logos for various airline companies that have served Argentina. The album
checklist also labels the subset as "Héroes de la Aviación."
A similar King Kong album and disc collection was previously released in
Argentina in 1964. The 1964 King Kong series includes animals, flags of
the world, and automobile brands. In 1964, Muñeca Zule released an album of discs that feature Superman, Batman, and
Robin.
Collector album sticker-cards are often referred to as cromos or
figuritas in Spanish. The collectibles are called vignettes in
French, figurines or panini in Italian, and figurinhas in
Portuguese. Many sticker album collections released in the 20th century
required paste or glue.
