Today I got the wonderful set from Brett, and I am so delighted with most of them, that I hope you will excuse me showing them all together here

Mount Fuji is a well known symbol of Japan. But perhaps calling it an animal is a bit far out ?
The set would not loose if this model had been exchanged for an animal model, - it is slobby made and the pieces don't fit together.
Well, - here it is

The beautyful, wonderful sparrow :

One more not-animal model, but this time it is incredibly well made, and I love these cherry blossoms :

Very nice snail !
The body is made from a soft material. It is so well made that I am sure somebody could get a serious chock if they found this in their salad

Many Japanese brands have awesome insect models, and Kitan is no exception !
Beautyful stag beetle !

The Ayu fish is also called "Sweetfish".
And it does look very sweet, - lovely model too !!!

But this one is perhaps the model I love modt : A perfectly sculptured and beautyfully painted horsehais crab

Oh they are wonderful

I have to agree though, the crab is my favourite. It's a close call, but he's just so well made.

Great set together, big congrats Susanne
The crab, he looks beautiful!
I only get the bird, but I wished I had Brett told to reserve the crab also for me.
Oh well, maybe next time

Every model is soooo great !
Kitan Club are masters !!!
And your choices are just wonderful Susanne :)
Thank you for sharing with us these lovely models

Just love this set

A presentation of a complete set is always a good idea for a topic.
I believe you acquired something very special, every single figure is very realistic, at first, the serow is the most tempting but, after seeing your pictures, I can see that they are all beautifully real and it is hard to have a favorite. Maybe arthropods are the most realistic of this set but I am impressed with them all!
As far as I understand, the snail is soft bodied with a hard shell, does it hide in its shell when you touch it?

Except the Fujiyama, they are all excellent models, I agree the crab is really really awesome Thank you for the topic Susanne

Merci beaucoup, mes amis

Nice review Susanne

The tree sparrow is great and now it is so expensive I will only catch pics

They areall charming but I can't stop looking at the crab... How many red points on the body? It's a big job for such a cheap item

Thanks, dear Christophe

You are right !!!
Looking at it, I wonder if they have some sort of machine/robot that does it ?
The sparrow also, - it is so incredibly accurate ! Almost impossible to do by hand on such a tiny, little bird

I think it's a human work...
