Thank you so much tjjtjjtja! Are you saying that the cat below is not a clouded leopard? It's listed as such on TAW, so we'd need to correct that.

Yes, Yamapikaryaa is NOT a clouded leopard, please see the booklet as follow.

Yamapikaryaa is Iriomote big cat, but there are only witness records, which have not been officially confirmed. So Shinobu Matsumura (Kaiyodo's prototyper) designed Yamapikaryaa with reference to clouded leopard prototype.

Especially SP: Tsuchinoko (Uncolored), 2002.4
The Tsuchinoko (Uncolored) was selected by "Model King"magazine.

Do you mean this figure? I can fix it but I believe there are more versions and I am not sure it is this one you're talking about.

Thanks, I fixed it. However, it is so different from the other Iriomote cats. We almost can play with the English names and tell it is a clouded leopard cat.

I think it's better to call it Iriomote big cat.

I am sorry, tjjtjjtjja, for offtopic question to you - do you know any current book or magazine or catalog for Kaiyodo animals lines? I have Kaiyodo Raisonné and 40th Anniversary KAIYODO EXHIBITION Official Guide, good ones but both very outdated...

"Hyper hobby" is a magazine that introduces Japanese models with the latest models of Kaiyodo.

I suppose it is a mythological creature (like a yeti), so it isn't really clear what it is. Perhaps better to list it under legendary creatures?

Now I understood. I will do it and introduce it as Yamapikarya to avoid confusion. It really didn't look like an Iriomote cat at all. I also enjoyed reading about it and my conclusion is that they may be clouded leopards but... as long as it is not found, it is just a cryptic creature.

Yes, it is a mythological creature.
