SUPER ACTON STATUES

[Knight Artorias]

This is a thread for appreciation of Medicos' line of Super Action Statues.
( There will be lots of cool stuff here! )

 

[Knight Artorias]

[HEADER]

The line started in January 2009, with the original Star Platinum. The aim of Super Action Statues is the attention to detail and fine paint jobs of full size statues, but on a smaller scale with the addition of joints. This means that the figures are of a very high quality, and often include many option parts, such as heads, hands and even items for the character.

Since the release of Crazy Diamond in March 2010, Super Action Statues have been packaged with more accessories to interact with, most of which have significance in the story, or express more about the character.

'♥' denotes that these guys are totally up for grabs.

Seeing all of the JoJo posted in this guild makes me want to get a Kakyouin figure, though. Any ideas on which one I should get?

Let's see if we can't keep all the Jojofagging in one thread!

Kakyoin doesn't have that many figures. The best is the SAS, naturally!

Since it's an older release, eBay is the best place to try and find him. I picked mine up for £18 shipped from Hong Kong.

His legs are quite limited by his coat, sadly, which is a solid piece, but he's still absolutely gorgeous.

There's also a recent series of trading figures, but I've not seen them split up in many places. Perhaps check Rakuten?

H-He has a head with a faaaaabulous pair of sunglasses and, like...THIRTY PAIRS OF HANDS. Jesus Christ this is going on my "s**t to buy" list. The design for his figure is so simple, but really effing detailed. *__* All of those clothing ripples are <3.

Gorgeous, huh? SAS are so detailed and gorgeous. Their price tag may be a little hefty compared to others, but they are worth absolutely every penny.

He's currently in stock at HLJ!
Why not get his Stand as well~?

... *adds to his to-buy list*

THEIR STANDS COME WITH MANGA SOUND EFFECTS. WTF. GLORIOUS.

The worst part about collecting?

OTHER COLLECTORS.

I have infected other people with SAS. But they're just so charming, how can you refuse~?

I HATE YOUR GUTS. ;__________;

...brb ordering DDDDDDDD:  

[Diosu]

I preordered the reissue of the first version of ZA WARUDO, but I don't really want to pay for it this month since I'm going to Sakura Con next month XD I already have Dio, first Awakened Dio, and the third version of The World. Now all I need is Berries n Cream The World.

I really don't like that they're coming out with a second Awakened Dio, it looks really bad.  

[Knight Artorias]

LOL WHOOPS, better look after this thread!

Lorelei DiAngelo

End up getting him?

Sasune

Well, think of it this way.
If you don't get ZA WARUDO this month, expect to pay scalper prices for him. I doubt this reissue is going to affect his price, judging by the market that the moment.

This is, prettymuch, your chance to own the second-rarest SAS.

I have to agree, though, Awakened Dio 2nd is ******** foul.

STAR PLATINUM 3RD is now up for Preorder.

End up getting him?

There were some books I wound up buying instead, and by the time I went back, it was too late to add anything to my current order, lawl. This payday, though, I'll probably order some more stuff from HLJ so I'm sure it'll be then. Those damn sunglasses...............

Apparently there is no Jotaro, though? D: That's too bad, I wouldn't have minded picking him up, too, at some point.
