[andrewsaurus]

Could someone who has the Canada Goose figure from the Safari Great Lakes toob please tell me the height to the top of the head, not including the base.

thanks!

Looks to be about 5.2 cm. Mine leans ever so slightly so if you prop it up it comes to 5.5 cm standing tall

I don't think I put measurements and scale in my review of that toob. I might have to go back and edit it someday.

thanks bmathison.......so the figure looks to be about 1/10-1/12 scale.  Canada Geese are quite common where I live this time of year and very tame.  Many times I have gotten within 5 feet or less of males strutting around; they barely take notice of me.  Last year I was watching as a male staked his territory, a couple of weeks later he had a female with him.  After a few weeks they disappeared for a while and I figured they'd left.  One day I saw them again with 9 big chicks; they were about 2/3 the size of the adults.  I got within about 3 feet of them.....none seemed to care, which I found very surprising.  Both adults were sitting down and didn't even look at me.  This all happened in the parking lot of a big mall that was closed due to Covid.  Great experience.

Gwangi: no you didn't put any sizes in your excellent review of the toob.

I see a lot of Canada geese while birding. A couple days ago I saw parents with chicks; they never minded me getting close either (but these geese are breeding in the city so they are probably used to people).

Well thanks for telling me it was excellent, despite the massive oversight of not including scale.
