Thanks e_m.

Dunno why I couldn't copy the photo unless you took it from a different site.

Funny that Kaiyodo finally does some world figures and it chooses a subject it's already done. But not complaining.

I love turtles, raccoon has been on my want list for a long time, and I rarely like Kaiyodo's birds but the pigeon looks great. And a new and good insect. For such a large family, also very underrepresented.

Am looking forward to this one.

I like the pose of the racoon and the fact that they are exploring different faunas.

This set is not related to North America or another non-japanese fauna but foreign animal invaders in Japan.

That's disappointing in the sense that I'd hoped this set would be an indicator of future sets featuring non-Japanese species. But I'm still happy with the figures.

Thanks for the info.

Very nice set, antelope he doves are interesting:)

Thanks for info, it puts this company in a more accentuated level of nippon-centrism than I ever thought. Nevertheless, a raccoon is still a raccoon. :)

After all, it is a nice set.

That's funny, as the other day, I overheard two pigeons referring to humans as 'pests.'  The
pigeons may be a nuisance (yes, I've lived in the big city), but at least they aren't
engineering the Sixth Great Mass Extinction in Earth's history...

As a collector, I was extremely pleased to see the pigeons. I'm really looking forward to getting these.

Ladies and gentlemen, pigeons and pests, I splitted this topic because you are already talking about Kaiyodo 2015

Oh why didn't I reply to your mail with the pigeons Brett XD
Will do that later this day, hopefully.

Thanks (x2), Kikimalou.

I hope that these are regular Kaiyodo size capsule figures and not like last year's toxic animal set which was a huge disappointment to me.

I look at the image of the house fly on the flyer for the pest set and it looks very large in the person's hand. I hope it's just poor Photoshopping.

If these are standard issue Kaiyodo, I am very excited by the earthworm especially.

Thanks:)

On facebook via my mobilphone i see Kaiyodo plan a 70cm Blue whale model, a beautiful figurine:)

Can you post a photo or send a link?

I found it on monster house hk facebook site [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Thank you. I found it on Entertainment Earth and elsewhere, but your photos really give the best impression of its size.

For anyone interested, it is not due until March, but ask if interested. I'm guessing that EE (or elsewhere) with its free shipping might be the better buy, even if I have my source ship directly, but if not, of course I can get it.

I really hate the base (should be tall, clear) and think it diminishes the piece.

Thanks, Christophe.

This whale is a beauty but i am not sure if he is a must have for that price
