This Nendoroid DX 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 articulated chibi style characteristic of the Nendoroid range and, unlike the standard version, includes his horse, Slow Dancer.
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 the nail-shooting pose, a Nail Bullet effect and the Tusk ACT1. The DX version stands out above all for the inclusion of Slow Dancer, allowing you to directly recreate the iconic racing and travelling scenes from *Steel Ball Run*.

Character background and lore
Johnny Joestar is a former child prodigy jockey who became partially paralysed following a shooting. He decides to take part in the Steel Ball Run, a transcontinental race across North America, after realising that the ‘Spin’ technique used by Gyro Zeppeli triggers a reaction in his legs.
During his journey, Johnny develops the Stand Tusk, whose various forms evolve in tandem with his mastery of the Spin. Tusk ACT1, in particular, allows him to transform his fingernails into projectiles, an ability directly reproduced amongst the accessories included with this Nendoroid.
The DX version is particularly representative of *Steel Ball Run* thanks to the inclusion of Slow Dancer, Johnny’s horse. It thus captures not only his fighting techniques, but also his role as a participant in the great race that forms the backbone of the entire story.
