[QUOTE=New Cidem;51639292]My personal wish is to own at least every Jojo and respective stand. If I bought more than that it'd be the final boss and stand of each part.[/QUOTE]
You can't just get the jojos without getting the jobros, though (Especially Gyro).
[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;51639290]Speaking of figurines, can we take a moment to appreciate how awful-looking some of the [URL="http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Sofubi_Figure"]Sofubi ones[/URL] are?
Special mention going to French fry Star Platinum:

They've got a unique style, I don't really dislike them. Inoffensive. Really unless something is just really shittily made it doesn't bother me.

Yo at 1:11:00 thats a fuckin[url=http://images10.newegg.com/ProductImageCompressAll300/26-999-162-02.jpg] Razer Mouse Pad [/url]on Arakis assistants computer desk.
The memes are colliding.
I just wish there would be Part 7 and more Part 8 figures already.
I would really kill for Yasuho, Norisuke, and (major part 7 spoiler)[sp]Tusk Act 4 [/sp]figures.
[QUOTE=WhichStrider;51639271]It's not always the cheapest hobby to get things from, but if you look hard enough you can find some stuff for cheap. A pal of mine grabs most of his jojo figurines from japan yahoo auctions and usually finds a lot of them for a decent or dirt cheap price.[/QUOTE]
Oh man I totally know. I collect MGS figures, but as a Canadian between imports, taxes, and shipping Star Plat is over a hundred bucks and Jotaro would probably 80-90
[editline]8th January 2017[/editline]
I also really want Kira because well he's a David Bowie action figure but the figure of him blonde is impossible to get for less than a leg

Killer Queen is worse. KQ averages around over $100 on most sites I see and that's for the white version. The pink (and superior) version goes for $250 on Amazon. :wow:

They did a rerelease of white Kira and white Killer Queen though, which is how I managed to get
[t]http://i.imgur.com/b0sxVy9.png[/t]
For under €90 in total. The Kira I got while in Japan for around 40 bucks, although the rereleased versions of both are quite a bit more expensive than their original releases. If you get them through AmiAmi it should run you around 6000 yen per fig, ex shipping.

I have yet to reach that point in the anime / manga but from ASB Killer Queen is my favorite stand by far, his(her?) design is amazing. I will give up now on ever owning Kira and KQ.

At least with SAF you're getting some fucking quality figures (provided they aren't used or poorly handled by the shippers)

Not just limited to Jojo either.

Try Amiami, I find them to have lower stock yet much fairer prices. I got Jotaro + SP and Josuke + S&W there.
snip, misread
you seem to know a lot, was reading on /toy/ that apparently the Stardust Crusaders ones are like a lot lower quality than any of the other parts?

I did try AmiAmi for my S&W, but since I get free shipping with Amazon, it was actually cheaper to get it there instead.
Though it seems Crazy Diamond is cheaper there (even with shipping) than on Amazon. Might pick that up sometime in the future if it ever comes back in stock.

The Stardust Crusaders figures are indeed a bit lower in quality unfortunately. Things have improved quite a bit with the newer releases. Compare the following figures:
Old
[t]http://img.amiami.jp/images/product/review/132/FIG-IPN-6480_03.jpg[/t]
New
[t]http://img.amiami.jp/images/product/review/141/FIGURE-005120_05.jpg[/t]
Much higher quality sculpt, quality of the material is noticeably better, and it's painted far more skillfully, so well in fact that it actually makes the figure seem more detailed and textured than it actually is
Old
[t]http://img.amiami.jp/images/product/review/133/FIGURE-001416_01.jpg[/t]
New
[t]http://img.amiami.jp/images/product/review/103/FIG-IPN-1340_02.jpg[/t]
The original figure here was decent, good even, but the 3rd iteration "Sand Version" is more in line with the Part 4 figures. Slight improvement in sculpt (look at the face, much sharper and less blobby) and in my opinion the tan on beige on silver color scheme is fucking ace

gf has that one and the Sticky Fingers one, she calls SP 'Bart Platinum'
At first I thought my life would be easier if I had my own magic punch ghost, but part of me realises that all that'd happen is I'd get into ridiculous fights constantly.
I'd love to get more figures but I literally don't have a shelf to put them on right now :v:
So any idea when the part 5 anime is gonna come out?
[QUOTE=Birdman101;51640682]So any idea when the part 5 anime is gonna come out?[/QUOTE]
When everyone who hasn't bothered to read the manga reads it.
[Sp]We will know when they announce it, same as with every part[/sp]
Thanks for all the figure info on the last page guys, i feel like im about to drain my bank account.
Edit: I already ordered 2
[QUOTE=Birdman101;51640682]So any idea when the part 5 anime is gonna come out?[/QUOTE]
My guess is that it will get announced sometime late 2017 and and start airing around Spring 2018.
[QUOTE=Birdman101;51640682]So any idea when the part 5 anime is gonna come out?[/QUOTE]
I'm betting on a teaser coming out somewhere around summer, with the actual anime starting in late 2017, seeing as that's about the same timeframe it took for Part 4.
[QUOTE=Captain;51640907]My guess is that it will get announced sometime late 2017 and and start airing around Spring 2018.[/QUOTE]
Spring 2018 seems a bit late considering the timeframe for Part 4.
Yeah i was assuming early or mid fall of this year for Vento Aureo.
[editline]8th January 2017[/editline]
We've had JoJo every year since 2012, dont break the streak.
[QUOTE=The Civ;51641262]Spring 2018 seems a bit late considering the timeframe for Part 4.[/QUOTE]
I'm just taking a guess since those are about the same times 3 & 4 got announced and started.
So my friend started to get into Jojo and I'm so excited
Except...he refused to watch subs so he's only going to watch dubs
By the time.he's seen part 4 well be on steel ball run

Man, imagine a life without Imaruoka Atsushi, Koyasu Takehito, Daisuke Ono, or Yuuki Ono
:c
It wouldn't be a world worth living I tell you that much.

if you're not hearing DIO's japanese voice, or old joseph why are you even wathcing the series
[editline]8th January 2017[/editline]
how much of part 3 has been dubbed so far? I've seen one clip with McCree from overwatch as jotaro and boy I don't like it
To be honest Matt Mercer is a pretty good Jotaro.
The voice may not be a 100% perfect match, but he gets the same attitude across pretty well, and there's not a lot of English VAs who can get that right amount of deep voice.
