The doll is freaking tiny. We were expecting maybe five or six inches tall, somewhere around Beanie Baby size. What we got, while still adorable, is surprisingly pocket-sized. We're a bit disappointed with some of the details, like the visible glue on the outside of the hair, and the uneven pant legs, but the thing is cute and free. We're not complaining too loudly. Thanks for the thing, Capcom!
We've posted more pictures after the break to help you gauge scale.
"OBJECTION! Why couldn't you have put me on a better game?"
"OBJECTION! This won't help people judge scale at all!"
"OBJE-- actually, this is pretty comfy."

Dammit, I should've anticipated a cat picture from you guys. You caught me off-guard, and now I can't stop laughing.

It looks like the mini-Phoenix plushes (or Nick Jr., as I like to call them) vary in quality.
Reading some posts on the Gyakuten Saiban LJ community, here are some issues I've read:
-Missing the Attorney's Badge (I thought mine was lacking one, until I pulled back the poorly folded lapel lulz)
-Missing the tie
-Lots of visable glue (there's just a small bit on my Nick's hair)
-Hand looks like a hoof (yours does, too; luckily mine doesn't :X)
-Painted on mouth is cracked
This is the first time I've seen uneven pants legs, though!
Yeah, it's nice getting freebies, but it seems as though Capcom should've paid those Chinese sweatshop workers a bit more for the quality of these things...

Based on how it looks, it's nothing compared to what's available as pre-order bonus items in Japan. This sucks.

Wow, now I don't feel so lousy about cancelling my order through Capcom.
They were taking forver to ship it and the Gamestop a block away had several copies. I'm not very patient.

I was like shocked when I asked for the preorder and the guy pulled this tiny thing out. Like yours, mine had glue on it. Tons of glue. Like a whole lot of glue. Besides that, mine doesn't really have any problems. I got most of the glue off but some stubborn strands refused to budge.
Mine also has "hoof"-like hands, I guess, but I figured all of them looked like that.
Eh, it was still free and I'm still happy I got it.
