Size of Kaiyodo figures?

Subject: Size of Kaiyodo figures? Tue Jan 29, 2019 11:02 am

Hello, I would like to know the exact size of these figures in cm. I've seen them for sale in an eBay shop that indicates approximate size, sometimes in cm, sometimes in inches, and sometimes indicating two very different sizes in two parts of the item description, so I don't know what will be.

Kaiyodo Capsule museum part.2 no.9 "Amami rabbit"
Site indicates "About 4,5 cm". Would be a bit too big then, but acceptable...

Kaiyodo Capsule museum part.2 no.11b "Okinawa Rail" Chicks
Site indicates "About 4,5 cm". Again on the larger side of things, and I dislike figures with clearly visible joints, but for this I can make an exception as joints are discretely situated. Another question, this is sold as "chicks" despite the image being clearly an adult and site indicates same size for adult too. The only difference between "chicks" (no. 11b) and adult (no. 11a) figures, seems to be the price. This is not an error, right? I mean, I hope to not buy this figure and receive a figure of a small rail chick in fluffy plumage, that doesn't look like the image Razz

The difference is price between the rail and its chicks could be because the chicks were 'secret' or 'chase' figures' which are often more expensive. If the seller is calling that figure a chick that could just be a type. The chicks and adults will not scale together. Those Kaiyodo Capsule/Choco Q figures are all about the same size as one another, regardless of taxa.

Thanks for explanations. The adult rail is actually more expensive than "chicks" so it must be the secret figure. Actually the animals are identical, only the pose is slightly different.

I hope that somebody that have these figures in the collection, will be able to measure them for me and tell me the exact lenght of both!

I am interested in a lot of the same ones you are, but won't get them until it's time to tackle their specific taxa. So, I can get measurements..eventually.
