I'm just curious but does anyone know what scale/size the girls are meant to be from the kiss players line? I was curious about adding some manga/anime characters to my humans with transformers but wanted them to roughly match the same size

They're Binaltech/Alternator-style, which means they have a set scale at 1:24.

1:24 is the size of the alternator cars isn't it? Not the girls themselves

They're both 1:24 scale. Think of scale as a fraction, both the girls and the cars are 1/24 the size of the real thing.

Can't find anything in that scale on eBay...

Does anyone know any good anime/manga figures that are roughly the same scale as the kiss player girls?

Assuming the Kiss Player girls are supposed to be around 5'3"tall. young girls and all, you would be looking for a 2.5" figure. 5'3' translates to 63 inches. 63 / 24 = 2.5".

Note that most Kiss Player girls are sitting, kneeling or somewhat laying down. Very few are actually standing, so the physical height of the figure is not 2.5". But their actual scale would be.

i.e they would be around 2.5" tall if they were standing up.

Yeah, there really isn't a whole lot at that scale since it's pretty tiny. There's probably some random trading figures at that size, but you'd have to hunt for them.

Only thing close that comes to mind is the Desktop Army line, those are just slightly over 3".

The old M.A.S.K., Dino-Riders, and Sky Commanders figures from the 80s were around that size ( 2 or 2.5 inches).

Pretty sure they're specifically looking for anime-style characters similar to the Kiss girls, otherwise Human Alliance figures would be ideal.

The desktop army thing just looks deformed...i at least want them to have proper proportions body wise....this seems much harder than i first figured

Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear might be an option for you, as they are also in 1/24 scale, but may be a little too expensive and hard to find...

Oh, I guess I never realized how tiny these were. I thought they were closer to 4", but they're under 3". Trying to figure out how these look out of the box since thy're model kits and Koto don't usually pre-paint their parts.

Found this picture for Hexa-gear's size reference from a Microman-based group in Facebook...



Was also surprised to find that the Magne Line is close to 1/24 too...
