It's a pink salmon or humpback salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) from Kaiyodo ChocoQ series 11.

The replica's nicely done and one that I never expect to see, so I'm extremely pleased and dearly hope it arrives
at my doorstep in one piece, fingers crossed...

wow congrats what a beautiful salmon...

Congratulations!! If this fish arrive you please let me know if the lines are invisible

Congratulations for finding such a wanted figure! I hope it arrives soon but I don't believe it will arrive in one piece!

What a fantastic model !!! CONGRATULATIONS with finding this rarity

Yes, it's a beautiful replica. Oh yes, not literally in one piece though, that's for sure.

Congrats Tigrinus! Nice Salmon!!

Hi,

Finally, after much waiting, the replica finally arrived and yes, not in one piece but two, excluding the stand for display.

Pardon me for the few photos that I posted. I took several shots but personally think these are the better ones.

Great

That's a beautiful fish replica. Thanks for posting and congratulations!

Thanks and that's right, it's really good-looking. If the camera focus has been good, it would have done the fish justice. Now, it sits next to the Ryuku black-breasted leaf turtle on my shelf.

Fantastic salmon    Congratulation

What a gorgeous figurine. It looks on par with - if not better than - the Yujin fishes, in my opinion. Kaiyodo really have improved a great deal recently.

Very nice figure! Congratulations.

Very nice one, congrats! I think this is the same species as Kaiyodo made in Hokkaido Airport set.

Great catch, literally!
would fit into my fish-collection too, as i am the fishman around here.  

This is one of the Choco 11. I have it too.
It is so wonderful. The grey whale in this set is also beautiful.
I recommend the grey whale, you will be amazed at the detail.
Trus me.

Nice to see someone who shares the same sentiments as me. I agree, the whale is beautiful too. In fact, all of their series are excellent, which is the reason why I am a big fan of their work. :)

Thank you for sharing. He's a real beauty! I think this is the first time I've ever seen a figure of a spawning male salmon before. I hope they make an equally nice female to go with him someday.
