My Kaiyodo Arrivals plus some others (Yujin, Colorata etc)

Here are some quick photos of a newly arrived boxed set of Japanese animals.  There we so many , it took me two hours to unpack and assemble all of them and boy do I love them.  Was never interested in Japanese models before but now I regret not collecting them earlier. They are all fantastic and their size means many fit in perfectly with the CollectA/Schleich scale animals.

Wow, so many phantastic beautys!! Big congratulations!!

Another friend contaminated by the Japanese bug!
Japanese figures are fabulous, we can't complain about their quality and realism, even choco figures are excellent. My only disconfort with them is that most are very fragile, maybe, when I get older and stop playing with toys, I'll also let the bug...

My jaw dropped.....
I see soooo many fantastic animals, can't stop looking at them.

The bug had bitten me a year or so ago, and indeed, I also regret that I didn't collected them before.
But you made a big leap forward already!
It must have be so fun to unpack and reassemble them all

Wow, so many phantastic beautys!! Big congratulations!!

It is a great batch and a fantastic start Numaan I am sure these models reached the right guy and the right place to be loved

Wow, what a joy! So many amazing animals in one box
Japanese figures are really wonderful, congratulations for incluiding them in your collection

Holy, hopping Hamster

This is so totally, completely overwhelming ! SO many wonderful, beautyful, amazing models !!!

I can't stop looking ! There are so many from my wishlist, - WOW !!!

Wonderful, welcome to Japan

Thanks everyone. I always ignored the Japanese section of this forum for years and when I received one model earlier this year I began to realise that I am missing out on a whole world of animals that are incredibly detailed.

There are so many animal replicas of smaller mammals, birds , reptiles and amphibians which none of the major brands have never made and nor do I ever see them making - cranes, egrets, civets, spotty pig, kakapo, golden lion tamarin, indian hornbill...I mean who is going to make all of these? The Japan models fit in quite well with my current collection - will post photos soon!

I have another box coming soon which I cannot wait to receive. It is official - I am a Japanese replica addict!

Great addiction

Welcome to the group!!

Wait.... whut... an other box!?

WOW !!!

So many beuties and all coming in one addiction !

Many from them i have too and i could say all japanese Figures, wich i have are perfect. They are very realistic and most of them are detailed too.

Big congratulation.

Big congrats, you got really some outstanding pieces! I understand your Japanese feaver - Japanese animal figures are the most realistic plastic animal replicas I ever seen :)

I received my second box of Japanese goodies and I am pleased.  It took me 2 hours to open each individually wrapped model and put them together - such fun! I am ashed of myself saying this as a fully grown adult ha!

I really adore the Yujin lizard collection. The models are superb and their size fit's in perfectly with my animal selection.  All the Japanese animals are lovely and I even bought some smaller Bandai animal antelopes and the Hyenas.  The Hyenas, capybara and Alpacas actually fit in with other brand models because they look like babies.  I even have a Blue-Footed Booby - I have always wanted a model of this cute and funny bird.

Such wonderful figurines! Congratulations! I totally understand how it must be, unwrapping them one for one, all these little treasures.. Lovely!

I have recently received a model which I did not even know existed. At the end of the 5th series of the Choco Q Furuta series a secret Shelduck model was released which was sold with a special Catalogue book box set. I receive this today and have attached photos for you below. Even though the small book is in Japanese it contains photos and information on every model released from series 1-5 and a much more exciting item than I initially thought. The Shelduck comes wrapped with the book and there is a page dedicated to this animal inside. All in all a lovely little set but exciting as it contains a model that I was not aware existed......

Wow Congratulations! I haven't been collecting Kaiyodo for a very long time, but this seems like a must-have set for every Kaiyodo fan.. What a wonderful set. I always adore books and catalogues from animal figurine brands. And special figurines are always great! Well done on getting this, Numaan!

Thanks Julie

Wonderful additions and interesting species !! Congratulations

Very very interesting. I think the catalogue could be interesting for many of us and the duck i dont know before! Congratulations too!!

HOLY HAMSTER !!!!

This is incredible !!! I can imagine that you will have joy for months there

I can't stop drooling over your wonderful photos

Amazing !!! I love books/catalogues too !

And a brilliant idea for Kaiyodo do make such a book, - it certainly makes one want more...and more..and more models

I hope they will make one in English too, - but they probably won't

2 hours! We see lots of great animal figures, most of them quite realistic, congratulations for your new addiction!

I love that "special" duck and thanks for sharing all documentation.
There's a kind of post-Schleich era in toy animal hobby, I am not talking about market but about our online communities, now, more and more, we see collectors wanting and collecting these Japanese figures while Schleich fever is clearly decreasing. There was a kind of dispersion accross major brands and most ended with Japanese companies. That's not bad nor good, just an observation. :)
