Ladevorgang
This Nendoroid figure depicts Johnny Joestar, the main protagonist of *Steel Ball Run*, the seventh part of *JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure*. Standing approximately 10 cm tall, it depicts the character in the range’s signature chibi style, with multiple points of articulation and various accessories to recreate his expressions and techniques.
The figure includes three interchangeable faces — a calm expression, a confident smile and a battle face — as well as arms that allow you to recreate his nail-shooting pose, a Nail Bullet attack effect and the Tusk ACT1. It comes with an articulated base to make posing easier.

Character background and lore
Johnny Joestar is a former child prodigy jockey who became paraplegic following a shooting. He takes part in the Steel Ball Run, a massive horse race across North America, after discovering that the ‘Spin’ technique used by Gyro Zeppeli can trigger a reaction in his legs.
During his journey, Johnny develops the Stand Tusk, whose various forms are directly linked to his gradual mastery of the Spin. Tusk ACT1 notably allows him to use his fingernails as projectiles, a capability reproduced amongst the accessories included with this Nendoroid.
This figure thus showcases the version of Johnny featured in *Steel Ball Run*, complete with Tusk ACT1 and his Nail Bullet attacks. A DX version is also available featuring his horse, Slow Dancer, which may be useful for clearly distinguishing between the two items in the catalogue.
