MEDAMA OYAJI

When i got the Kitaro figure from Kaiyodo i was very excited to get the Medama Oyaji figure as well tough he was the hardest to get i was able to get him. I am not sure of the Kaiyodo figures are difficult to find since i dont have too many, but this guy belongs to theyr Takeya Takayuki line that seems to be focused on japanese monsters.

He comes in the same vintage looking box as Kitarou and with a lot of extra hands, a “soup bone” base and the tea cup to take his bath, a cartoonish eye, a realistic eye and a criying eye.

To put him on the cup he needs his torso to be separated from his lower body and insert it on the "water" and the feet must be inserted too. The process is a little delicate thans to the small joints but pretty easy and the details on the cup are really nice since theres even a soft pink on the water to suggest his entire body is there.

The cartoonish eye make him fits with Kitarou but the realistic eye is much much better since it have a pretty impresive depth and reflection.

The criying eye was soo cleaver…i love the dimension it have and it was my favorite accesory alongisde the tea cup.

Hes not in the same scale as Kitarou but hes pretty much scale 1/1 in relation with real life. And unlike his kid, he cant stand on his own thanks to his huge head soo he really needs the bone base with the arm attached to his back.

He is ubber simplistic, i mean, he is totally nude and have absolutelly no texture and no details aside of the paint, a soft pink on his body with some very soft shadows and a totally white head. Yet he is totally fun to play with thanks to all the articulations and how theres nothing to get on theyr way.

The last figure i got was the Nesumi Otoko but i never liked him too much. I would prefer Neko Musume deffinetly but overall, i think this figure is the most amazing and fun from the collection.
