If you are a collector of movie figurines, then this auction may be up your alley.

Christie's auction house will sell the King Kong action figure which climbed the Empire State Building at the end of the classic 1933 film.  The 22 inch tall King Kong figurine is made of a metal skeleton but has lost the covering of rabbit's fur and other materials which it possessed during the movie.

Christie's expects the movie figurine to fetch around $240,000.  If you think that someone would be crazy for paying that much, you may want to consider what some other collectibles have sold for.  Time Magazine has put out a list of its Top 10 Crazy Celebrity Collectibles, and we think that this King Kong figurine is far and away a better purchase.  Our vote for the most ridiculous: two slices of french toast left unfinished by Justin Timberlake after a breakfast interview in New York in 2000.  Check it out.
