Celebrating Donkey Kong Country's 30th anniversary, Mr Talida has been hard at work scanning the game's tie-in Keshi figures (small, unpainted rubber figurines found in gachapon machines) that Bandai produced in Japan in 1995.
There are 15 different figurines to check out this time, featuring obvious picks like DK, Diddy Kong and Cranky as well as some of their animal pals, including Chomps, Winky the Frog and Expresso. As with Mr Talida's previous work, these figures would be quite a Rare (*ba dum, tsssh*) find these days, but their 3D scans are now available via the Internet Archive for home printing or just general appreciation.
Heck, there's even a new Keshi Corner animation accompanying this collection that recreates the original DKC opening with the scanned figurines:
