Size comparison

Here are some deka still connected to their tree

original deka in single packaging




Paired figures in packaging

Here are some examples of the deka kinkeshi 10 packs. there are 10 boxes in all making the full original set and then there is the later part 11 that I'm not sure if came in a boxed set or only as singles






This is an ashuraman variance, which is very similar to the original one. not sure what set he belongs to maybe a later alternate or some sub set.

Here are examples of positioning variances, there are some found in the single packaging

Here are examples of paired figures which are not part of the original set. but just like the original set the earlier are marked with a - and the later with a / They also have letters on them which i assume is to pair them up.



Here are a few of the reissue. down below is an example of the stamp. they are made of a different plastic which is glossy and slightly harder


here is a gitd reissue

colored deka in package


here is a link to the battle royal set http://ulala69.web.i...battleroyal.htm
this was also mentioned here and was said to not have any unique sculpts. but as far as i can tell the 6 in the top picture are unique sculpts. they are slightly larger than the deka kinkeshi.

Here are some pictures of 4" bootlegs.

These two are examples of deka bootleg thumb wrestlers. I got them in a hobby store when i was a kid. they are made of a harder plastic


Here are examples of larger kinkeshi. not sure what theyre called and little is known about these at this point. they are larger than the 4" but not as large as the great kinkeshi. all 3 of the figures i own have different stamps so i would say that all 3 are from a different series. update: i recently found that some are from the battle royal set






larger bootlegs no markings

Here are examples of the great kinkeshi. there are 30 in the set and 2 pairs of paired figures
the link below has a section where you can find more pictures and info on these

the stamp




This is an example of an articulated kinkeshi. its not quite 4 inch but i felt it deserved to be a part of this thread. i dont know anything about these at this point other than there are a several different sculpts that ive seen on yahoo japan
