JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fans can now pre-order two toys that really stand out from the crowd.
Part of Good Smile Company’s Pop Up Parade line, these figures bring Jotaro Kujo and villain Dio Brando to life. Carved, flashy and posed to perfection, the collections appear on screen with anime precision. As the newest of Good Smile’s many JoJo products, fans can pre-order for a limited time.

Good Smile’s new Jotaro and Dio characters are the best in “Za Warudo”
Standing approximately 17 to 18 cm (6-7 inches) tall, the Good Smile Company Pop Up Parade Jotaro and Dio toy can recreate iconic poses from the beloved shounen series. Always one to have a passion for fashion, Dio wore his recognizable black and yellow outfit. Armed with a green belt and matching heart-shaped kneepads, this vile foe has nothing but love for the Joestar bloodline. He stands stoically with his hands on his hips, while Jotaro Kujo proudly points forward — a pose notably inspired by Clint Eastwood.
The statue-like characters are based on the appearances of characters from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. Both are priced around $30.99 USD, with pre-orders accepted from now until March 27, 2024. Japanese buyers can get them for 4800 yen, and a Japanese release date is expected in August 2024. International fans will have to wait a little longer, however, with a North American release expected until Q1 2025.

Good Smile Company’s Pop Up Parade line is dedicated to accurately depicting various characters from across pop culture without breaking fans’ bank accounts. Made with strict attention to detail, their loyalty fortunately comes at a low price. Furthermore, figures for this line are typically released approximately four months after pre-orders end, ensuring that fans don’t have to wait too long to receive their goods. Franchises represented range from popular anime properties to video games such as Street Fighter and Overwatch.
However, Pop Up Parade isn’t the only line featuring characters from the popular JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series. Good Smile Company also has a Nendoroid line depicting the characters in super deformed “chibi” versions. Although somewhat similar to Funko Pop! figures, these collections feature a wider variety of joints and accessories. Previous JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Nendoroids included the characters of Jolyne and Rohan, these toys are now available to purchase through a variety of retailers. There’s even a Nendoroid figure of Jotaro, also seen doing his signature pointing pose.
