There is a smaller 2.5" Diddy. Maybe the new DK scales well with him? Jakks Pacific seems to have a bad habit of not scaling figures well. Their Sonic the Hedgehog line is AWFUL for scaling. Sonic and Eggman are 4" and 5" respectively, and Sonic is supposed to be around half of Eggman's height. So, if you want to scale Sonic and Eggman together, you need to buy the 2.75" figures, and a 5" Eggman because Jakks couldn't be bothered to make a 7" or 8" Eggman for the standard line. This seems to be the same case with this DK, where he scales well with everything except the figures in his own line.
Donkey Kong isn't much bigger than Diddy in the gameplay of the original country game, but even with that metric, Donkey is still too small. I like the look of him though so I might grab him as it's own stand alone piece since I adore dk
I remember as a kid I found a donkey Kong Mario kart 64 figure at a flea market sadly no kart but mannnn was that one of the coolest figures I owned especially back then when Nintendo wasn't big on making highly articulated action figures
Jack Pacific needs to do more donkey Kong country characters. The characters we need as figures: Dixie Kong, Cranky Kong, Funky Kong, Squawks the parrot, Rambi the Rhino, candy Kong, Mole miner, and many More.
I’m gonna have size compare my Toybiz Mario Kart 64 Donkey Kong with Jakks Diddy. Honestly I might hold out on Donkey Kong cause shouldn’t we get a movie version of him? Unless that line isn’t selling well.
Man I disagree. This figure is dope. The Banpresto has an amazing profile, but this one scales marvelously with the 2.5. gonna throw a matte finish on him
@@AnthonysCustomsi dont think its "ill conceived". Its probably the best DK fig we have so far. The 6" DK head is gigantic and weird...but the new DK doesn't scale well with 4" nintendo so I get that

Honestly I have to agree. Jakks makes the figures not scale like the video game or how they should be.

I love Jakks Paific sonic line so I'm glad we have some Nintendo characters to mix in with them
I own the larger DK figure. I wonder when we'll get his movie version
I always thought Diddy was so brave for wearing stars over his nipples but also going naked from the waist down.
Brave and beautiful
I bought em yesterday 😂 They awesome 🔥 Nostalgia

Honestly for $10 theyre pretty solid figures.
The Diddy fit in great with the SHF figures.
Limited articulation, but it doesn't disturb the sculpt like an import would.
I just got my first jakks Mario figure really impressed head is big asf.
That's disappointing about Donkey Kong, as a big fan I was really happy he was getting a new fig. Like you said, though, $10 isn't bad.
Just found the big deluxe DK at Target. $20. Assuming a reissue due to 2021 in the manufacturing info.
Yeah first thing I thought when I saw this was “Diddy looks way too big”
Donkey and Diddy Kong are so cool 😎🔥
Donkey Kong and diddy are awesome 😎
Diddy kong is so cute
Good review. I’m going to put these guys in a terrarium. The barrel looks sweet.
The paint and plastic probably shouldn't go into an animal habitat if there are animals in it
I want Pauline figure now.
So you mean to tell me, a flicking gorilla has better splits that Hasbro's Spider-Mans?
Lol

the old kart figures are pretty small.
im going bananas for them I'm their number 1 fan
They discontinued the 6 inch line that included dk and bowser which was great to scale with the smaller 4 inch line to keep scale intact
Discontinued? It was only the two figures. I'm sure they can make more big ones wherever they want.
@@AnthonysCustoms yup and that older DK sculpt was much nicer in my opinion
Let's just hope they haven't discontinued the bigger ones officially or terminally
They also did Wind Waker Gonandorf and a Metroid. 🤔
IMO DK and Diddy are scale accurate to how they scale in the old Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong 64 CG art or close enough anyways

I'm glad I got the old DK
Fudgey Kong
DK is a bit unnecessary when the big one exists, Diddy is sufficient for a smash display looks good on the shelf
Not a fan of Donkey Kong, but just wanted to see you review other stuff besides Hasbro or McFarlane.
how did u open the box without recking it?
Hakuna matata Donkey kong & diddy kong
Do a baki hamma storm collectibles review

You said you disagree then said he fits with the smaller figures...
