Side-by-side photos comparing early and final heights with concept arts of Miss Cuttenclip and paper crane.

*Sentence below the early height comparison: The early art showing the Flying Monkey (first from left), the Wicked Witch of the West (second from left), and the Good Witch of the North (first from right), all of which differ significantly from the final designs. The figure second from right is suspected to be either a Munchkin or the Wizard of Oz in circus costume.

「goddess so wwwhy on earth was Tin Man nearly designed as a fuel drum,and even appears on a poster of English version(you may know what I refer to).LMAO🤣

我的老天爷哟，所以为什么铁皮人差点就成了汽油桶了，还出现在英文版一张海报上（你可能知道我指的是啥），笑死我了🤣」

Concept arts of Witch of the North,Aunt Em and residents of Ozland.

「I really adore the "lived-in" design concept for the people of Oz. All the little props and subtle details are so down-to-earth yet utterly charming.

我非常喜欢奥兹居民“生活感”的设计理念，各种小道具小细节很接地气又可爱」

Have you ever wondered about Dorothy's age and the heights of the main characters? A certain editor assumed Uncle Henry's height to be 180 cm and calculated that Dorothy is about 145 cm tall (roughly 11 years old), the Scarecrow and the Tin Man stand at 165-170 cm (which counts as tall in Oz, where most inhabitants are relatively short), and the Witch of South is well over 2 meters tall.

「I've always thought Dorothy's personality feels very childlike, but some of her poses in the series and concept art come across as surprisingly charming—so I guessed she must be at that delicate stage between childhood and adolescence, around 11 or 12. Turns out the editor and I are on the same page, haha~

我觉得桃乐丝性格很童真，但剧中和设定图的部分动作又很媚，于是猜测她应该卡在童年和青春期之间一个非常微妙的点上，大概十一二岁，编者和我英雄所见略同啊哈哈哈～」

「I'm 170 cm tall! The Scarecrow and the Tin Man are actually around my height—maybe even shorter than me! 🤯🤯

本人170！稻草人和铁皮人竟然和我差不多高！甚至可能比我还矮！！🤯🤯」

「I think Dorothy on the packaging box looks more childlike and cute, but the current one is still okay.我觉得包装盒上的桃乐丝更稚气可爱，但现在的也还行」

「The studio that headed the compilation of this book has plans to potentially launch crowdfunding campaigns in the future for animated adaptation picture books and figures of the remaining main characters. However, it's a very small studio, so we might have to wait quite a while. Still, let's keep our fingers crossed—having something to look forward to is always nice~主持编著的工作室计划，以后可能开放动画改编绘本和主角团剩下人员的手办的众筹，但他们是很小的工作室，可能需要等很久。还是敬请期待吧，有个念想也是好的~」

Also〖BINDING DETAILS(need extra cost)〗are shown, including painted edges depicting Dorothy's journey & the slipcase and cover (It's been quite damp in my house recently, so the book pages have warped a bit. Sorry that the presentation isn't perfect)

「it just SO hard to take a photo with clear pale blue Tin Man profile using my low-pixel cellphone camera💦

用我这渣像素手机给淡蓝色的铁皮人拍张清晰的照真是好难啊💦」

〖INTERNATIONAL PURCHASING海外购买〗

I'm not sure if this book is available on platforms outside of China, anyway I bought mine on Taobao. To be honest, I'm not entirely familiar with the specifics of cross-border shopping on Taobao, but I know it's feasible. Apart from having to wait a bit longer and the potential difficulty with returns, the process doesn't seem overly complicated.

Put the link here for those who are interested. The price of ¥360 includes the peripheral items and the special binding (limited release, but hadn't sold out during I made this post), while the ¥188 option is for the book alone.

(You must be logged in to view the item details,which is a biiit annoying)
