I think they got his size from the origninal movie, probably from his scale against the empire state building. Wait, no, you're right, he has to be bigger! that size definitely cannot swat planes. Of course, maybe I should actually watch the original, rather than going by the poster art, which is probably exaggerated.

In terms of size, it seems more like "Mighty Joe Young" than King Kong (Am I showing my age now... )
