Kaiyodo WW2 German Soldier Set in a previous post we showed from Japan the Japanese Ashigaru Warriors. These figures are sold in gashapon capsules in vending machines. When looking at Rakuten, I also discovered they also had for German soldiers. these were also done for gashapon. I clue Erwin who looked into them and found out the following about them.
Kaiyodo WW2 German Soldier The figures
The figures are sculpted by Japanese master Minifigure artist Mr. Katsuhisa Yamaguchi. He also did last Ashigaru figures set post here.
Figure Comparison
Interesting the instructions come with German names for each soldier as a character and funny poses depicted.
The articulated torso, hand wrist , arms, and head made then able to create at least 35 different poses, but more likely as if making a sequence photo movie. I show the main quick pick poses. Some of the bases are very small. This makes the figure harder to stand. The same way make then look smallest as flat plain bases. .Colors are navy blue and green that are standard colors used by most European toy soldiers maker when doing german WW2 infantry such Airfix, Dulcop, Atlantic, Revel, and Matchbox .
As mentioned before limited capsule toys figures made but well in stock now, some sellers are selling so far more costly off eBay now. Direct sellers off japan using the non-PayPal methods are the best option as limited last.
There an American set in the making now as well. Soon to be announced and post here.
The company Kaiyodo has many interesting products.
Thank God they’re too small!
Otherwise it would have been another God forsaken goofy and expensive collectable to chase down!
