I've 3D scanned all 10 figures that make up the Zelda 2: Adventure of Link keshi released by Lotte in 1987 as a part of the 4th wave of their Famicom Choco line of blind boxes.  The figures came in silver, gold, and painted (the rarest), and were usually packaged with a set of hard plastic accessories like weapons and armor that would clip into peg holes on the figures.  Unfortunately these small pieces were very often lost and are outrageously expensive to acquire, so they are missing from my scans.

In my opinion the sculpts and paint jobs on these figures are quite crude, but I love all things Zelda, so I couldn't help but collect these figures so that I could scan the full lot of them.  Here is a CGI rendered scene I created using the scanned figures:

You can download all of the figures in a single .zip archive from my account on the Internet Archive:
 
Also consider following my @KeshiCorner profile on twitter, where I post new keshi scans every single day:

Thank you! And yeah, that's a CGI render. Amazing how the inherent imperfections of these hand made figures give a sense of realism, huh?  Ray traced lighting helps a lot too!  Glad do hear you've been collecting the files. I hope you get a chance to print them soon!  Check your local library, too; some have 3D printers available for the public.

I don't have any Knnikuman keshi to compare against, but these are about 50mm or 2in tall, give or take a bit of variance between each figure.
