Squid comparison : Safari giant & Kitan colossal

Hi, does anyone have both ?

Thanks !

I just noticed this topic, and took some pictures I'll post soon.

Here they are:

Along with the Kaiyodo colossal (deep sea set) and Kaiyodo giant (second squid set):

I like them all, for different reasons.

On the subject of the Safari giant squid, I found a nice way to open the arms for display, by cutting a circle out of clear plastic packaging (with a hole in the middle for the long tentacles), that can be pushed back towards the base of the arms. I also made a hole so it fits on a Colorata stand:

Wow thanks for this! I just ordered the KC colossus squid now that I know it's not too small!

Good to know it helped. Yes, the squid is a respectable size by Kitan/Ikimon standards. I must have seen something indicating the size early on, because it was one of the main motivations for me to get the whole deep sea set. In the end I still couldn't resist the Kaiyodo, which has a nice sense of life/movement to the sculpture. Subsequently, I couldn't resist the CollectA sperm whale as a predator for that one.

Thanks for the pics !
