Read size as an interpretation
POP UP PARADE Kirby, product 55962, is documented as a non-scale complete plastic figure with its own stated height. Nendoroid Kirby 30th Anniversary Edition 1883 is documented as a smaller figure, with magnets, a stand and four face parts. These numbers describe manufactured objects; they do not establish a single correct size for Kirby within a fictional world.
That distinction matters when arranging characters from different lines. A viewer may read the larger Kirby as the emotional focus rather than conclude that every neighbouring character is incorrectly proportioned. The meaningful choice is whether the shelf presents a shared fictional scene or a collection of different interpretations.
Let the label explain the collection
For the latter approach, a small label naming the line and release can make the change in scale intelligible. This is a curatorial suggestion, not a claim that the two products share sculpting standards or interchangeable components. The dated manufacturer records support their physical formats, not a verdict on which interpretation is more faithful.
