INFORMATION
T-ARTS, a toy brand under the Japanese company TAKARA TOMY, will release a very interesting animal-themed capsule toy called "The Bird Who Thinks He's a King" (tentative translation, 王様気鸟-おうさまきどり-) in mid-July ! The suggested retail price is 300 yen per capsule, and there are a total of four styles to collect.
This set of capsules is based on the interesting concept of "birds regard themselves as kings", and is thoroughly supervised by planners who raise parrots. The bird's body outline, feather texture and gradient color, plump wings, and gorgeous and eye-catching king decorations are carefully shaped at a height of 3 to 5 cm! Including a crown, a red fur coat and a scepter, plus anthropomorphic and realistic movements, it really conveys the atmosphere of " this bird king is not simple~ "! There are a total of white and round "Silver Throat Long-tailed Tit King", "Green Budgie King", "Blue Budgie King" and a jet-black, awe-inspiring "Crow King". Crows really look like people!
Next, let's talk about the little ingenuity in the Japanese product names this time. First of all, "王様" (おうさま) means king, and "気鸟" (きどり) is a combination of "気取り" (きどり) and "鸟" (とり). "気取り" in Japanese means to put on airs or to regard oneself as a king, and it is also very similar to the pronunciation of the Japanese word for bird. When all are combined together, it becomes "the bird who thinks he is the king" this time~ It's so cute! I like it so much, I want a set.
