SHFiguarts Joseph Joestar Figure – JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency (17 cm)

Product Description

Dive into the crazy world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency with this SHFiguarts articulated figure representing Joseph Joestar, the charismatic hero of the second part of the saga.
Approximately 17 cm tall, the sculpture highlights Joseph's powerful musculature thanks to highly precise modeling, restoring the dynamic shapes of his abs, pectorals and toned arms. His iconic outfit—a tight-fitting khaki-green tank top, blue-green pants, black boots, and fingerless gloves—has been faithfully reproduced and enhanced with meticulous painting details. The broadly striped yellow and green scarf, emblematic of his casual style, is made of soft PVC to give a natural effect of movement in each pose.
Thanks to Tamashii Digital Coloring Technology, Joseph's facial features are rendered with remarkable precision: from his furrowed brows to his mischievous stare, every expression is captured in his two alternate faces (confident smile and defiant shout). Five pairs of interchangeable hands (raised points, open hands, "Ripple" position and clenched fists) as well as two long translucent "Ripple" effect tubes allow you to recreate your Hamon mastery techniques.
A transparent support foot engraved with the "JOJO" logo and an included articulated stand guarantee optimal stability and allow for daring poses, whether it's an outstretched fist in full combat or an ironic Joseph-like posture. To complete the set, there are also two straps to secure the scarf and keep it flowing in all circumstances.

Who is Joseph Joestar?

Joseph Joestar is the grandson of the legendary Jonathan Joestar and the main protagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency.
Born in the 1920s, Joseph combines a quick wit, an athletic physique, and an irresistible sense of humor. By learning Hamon (the ancient breathing technique for producing life energy), he becomes the disciple of master Will A. Zeppeli with the goal of defeating the Pillar Men, ancient entities wielding devastating power. Sporting a tricolor scarf and black gloves, Joseph wields the Hamon with creativity: he can propel his life force through objects (even a simple domino) or execute ultra-fast chain attacks.
His impulsive character and his ingenuity earn him many cult lines (“Your next line is…”, “Oh my God!”), while his attachment to his grandfather Jonathan and his sense of honor push him to sacrifice himself to save humanity. Throughout his battles, his cunning and gift of the gab allow him to outwit seemingly invincible foes, making him one of the most beloved JoJo characters for his mischievous wit and unwavering determination.

Complete History of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Created by Hirohiko Araki in 1987, the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series is a landmark manga and animation series, known for its bold art style, exaggerated poses, and over-the-top battles.
Part 1 – Phantom Blood (1987–1988): The adventure begins with Phantom Blood, where Jonathan Joestar faces off against his adopted brother Dio Brando, who has become a vampire. Jonathan discovers Hamon to counter the vampiric forces and protect his family.
Part 2 – Battle Tendency (1988–1989): In Battle Tendency, it is the turn of Joseph Joestar, Jonathan's grandson, to take command. Sent to the 1930s, he faces the Pillar Men, millennia-old beings with destructive power. His cunning, humor, and ingenious use of Hamon are the flavor of this arc, enriched with legendary enemies like Wamuu, Esidisi, and Kars.
Part 3 – Stardust Crusaders (1989–1992): The introduction of Stands marks a turning point: psychic entities manifest the characters' spirits. Jotaro Kujo travels to Egypt to save his mother and confront Dio, now the ruler of darkness. This arc, adapted into an anime in 2014, propelled JoJo onto the world stage, thanks in part to the popularity of tag-team Stand battles.
Subsequent Arcs: After Stardust Crusaders, the series continues with Diamond Is Unbreakable (1992–1995), Vento Aureo (1995–1999), Stone Ocean (2000–2003), Steel Ball Run (2004–2011), and JoJolion (2011–2021). With each new installment, Araki explores different protagonists, powers, and universes, constantly enriching the rich lore of the Joestar family.
Adaptations and influence: With more than 100 volumes published, the franchise is divided into several animated series produced by David Production, films, video games, novels, and a multitude of derivative products. The musical references, iconic poses and cult lines (“Muda Muda”, “Yare Yare Daze”) have marked several generations of readers and anime fans, making JoJo a staple of global pop culture.
