Furuta Choco Egg Flying Osprey Walkaround

It's always great to find figures of less represented species. I'm not going to lie, a big part of the reason I picked this one up is because I love the look of the wings. Ospreys have this very interesting wing shape, and it was cool to find a figure which accurately captured that.

I like that Serie of wonderful birds

well, I love flying birds replicas but don't like a lot the "displaying pilar". According to me, a "mobile way of display" would be better..

thanks for sharing and beautiful pictures!

That's a wonderful figure with a fantastic work concerning the wings profile and all other details. To wish series does that osprey belong?

It is a very well-made series, and great reference for artists and bird lovers.

Kaiyodo doesn't typically use the plastic stands, but for a pose like this I don't think there's any way around it.

I don't know the exact name, I've just seen it called Choco egg bird series. This is what the full set looks like [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Not that it matters too much, but these flying birds are by Furuta, not Kaiyodo (the two partnered together sometimes but I think this set is Furuta without Kaiyodo)

Here is the complete set: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

there is another secret figure not shown here, a northern goshawk posed on a branch. I see the eBay link has the goshawk but my link doesn't (mine hs a peacock) - they may have been different releases of the set.

Oh, for some reason I thought Kaiyodo made all the figures for Furuta. Similar to how AAA makes a lot of figures for several different companies. That's interesting.

They collaborated a lot, but Furuta did some on their own, including these birds, the Chocoegg Funny Animal Series, and a couple of the Pets Series.

As the goshawk as secret figure is not rare figure, the peacock is quite rare one...

I tend to agree. I bought mine on eBay and have seen it still since. Also it was not more expensive than other similar gashapons.

Oh, that's interesting! I better edit the name on the walkaround then.
