It shows its cute side by chasing its own tail until it gets dizzy.

It’s fun to imagine the experience of Yuka Morii’s art creation. Like, it’s usually not just making a cute little clay figure out a pokemon — it’s also sometimes going outside somewhere and doing a little photoshoot with it. At least in some cases — I suspect a lot of her models are posed in extremely realistic artificial locations (akin to what you might see with model trains), but it’s hard to parse since it’s highly dependent on the size of the models. Just how big are these models, anyway?
Looking at her site….

Still hard to parse, but potentially bigger than one might expect! I imagine pokemon models lean a big larger than this gnome fellow due to the high level of precision and detail. Yet some — like BREAKthrough Cacnea — give the impression of actually being even smaller.

Actually! If you click the card icon on the /works.html page you linked to, you can notice that she gives a rough estimate that the models are typically about 12 cm tall. That’d be true for the HGSS cards in particular, and entirely possible that with time she’s gone even bigger (or smaller), but you get a ballpark. They’re certainly bigger than the impression you get from the cards, I always imagined some of them being about the same size as the Bandai Pokémon finger puppets.
