JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Nendoroid - Figures
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a series that is incredibly well known in the anime and manga world. Though the original manga began in 1987, the recent anime adaptation in 2012 proves that it is still incredibly relevant. The series’ iconic poses, extravagant costumes, and unique atmosphere continue to influence many current anime to this very day. Because of this, the JoJo's figure line has released a number of figures Nendoroid based on characters from the series in a cuter chibi style. Although characters like Jotaro Kujo, Noriaki Kakyoin, Rohan Kishibe, and Bruno Bucciarati have also gotten Nendoroid figures, three of the most popular figures currently available include the “Nendoroid JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders DIO”, “Nendoroid JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Giorno Giovanna” and “Nendoroid JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable Josuke Higashikata”.

Reviews
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a work that is so immensely popular within the anime industry that its figures become quickly “sold out”. Many of its Nendoroid figures are “out of stock” and have been relaunched two and even more times. These figures include several accessories and are articulable. As such, their poses can be changed whenever the user feels like it. Their original designs and dynamic poses made them highly demanded figures. With these Nendoroid figures, users can imitate iconic poses and recreate scenes of the series in a more fun and cute way.
