It's appropriate that Josuke is 50% Kira Yoshikage, as Soft and Wet comes with 14 hands (and 4 heads). The tubes on his elbows/knees come off really easily. Cute as hell though.

That Soft & Wet figure ruuuuuules. I somehow saw pictures of it before I got to JoJolion, but held off buying cause I didn't want to buy a figure for a Stand I didn't even know what it did.

Whoa, it really does! That Gappy is fantastic too, and it's not like you can buy one without getting the other. Another pair to add to my wish list for when the Canadian prices drop a little. (Just kidding, they won't, our dollar is in the toilet and swirling further down.) I have a couple of SAS figures heading my way as belated Christmas gifts, but I'm waiting to see how much I get dinged in customs fees before I commit to following this madness to its bitter, broke-rear end end.

Not to encourage anyone to spend way too much on figures in a series where you might have 50 characters you like so-so much, Gappy and S&W are pretty cheap because they're recent.


I've heard somewhat mixed reviews of the Josuke (4) reissue though. Some of his face work is poor the feedback says, though it's luck of the draw as to whether you'll get one with bad painting.


I accidentally broke Crazy D's base so it doesn't bend at the bottom anymore.

Honestly I want a Gappy figure but wasn't planning on Soft & Wet til I saw that picture. It looks way better than I thought. THANKS A LOT JOSUKE

e: but yeah, since Gappy is cheaper honestly I think I'm gonna spring for him this week even if it means Okuyasu is waiting in the wings longer still.

Yikes, that's one of the ones that are headed my way. I hope it turns out to be one of the good ones; I don't think I could touch it up myself and I'm not sure there's much recourse if it's just a bad paint job and not a bootleg.

(the other figure I got is okuyasu because you gotta have the duwang duo and the price is only slightly over-inflated through retailers here but man I also want the highway star version of rohan and that's wicked expensive)

The pictures don't really do much justice to S+W's paint job though. It has really nice gradient effects as whole. Really nicely painted.

It could easily be confirmation bias, in the end.

I love the Rohan that I have since I like that outfit, too, but I especially like Highway Star Rohan (in the purple color combo that I've seen floating around) and it's just too expensive.


The paint on my Hand figure is just a tiny bit wonky in one spot but I don't mind that so much.

I feel lucky that my Statue Legend Crazy Diamond has like, a perfect paint job. It may not be poseable but I appreciate the more "higher quality" look.

Also for some reason, I don't really care for character figures except for maybe Kira and Weather Report but there are a ton of Stand figures I want; Killer Queen, King Crimson, Soft & Wet.

Josuke Higashikata
Mar 7, 2013


I only really want the figures if I can get both the character and their Stand. I'd go for Okuyasu and The Hand, but The Hand is really really affordable but Okuyasu is decidedly not. I want Kira and KQ more, but I want specific ones of them and they're a good £70-90 each depending on sellers. Very expensive.

Jotaro looks weird without his hat and coat, but then again, that look makes him look like the big nerd that he really is, so it works.

Those are awesome too! (Though Jotaro and Kakyoin just look... okay? Like, you could make a case for the other characters' fashion choices being in-character, but those two are just sort of wearing nice stuff.)

Have you tried looking at international sellers with a favourable currency exchange? (For instance, the average price on the Okuyasu figure has dropped by a good $50 in the last couple of weeks on the Canadian Amazon marketplace for some reason, and some of the reputable sellers will ship outside of Canada. ...not that I keep track of these things...)

Yeah, I keep an eye on Mandarake (4chan's /toy/ JoJo threads have a guide to help you order from there) and Yahoo Auction's Japan but it's more a thing of me being kinda too poor to buy expensive ones rather than being cheap.
