Incredibly Detailed JoJo's Bizarre Action Figures at Wonder Festival 2010 Winter
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by Hirohiko Araki is undoubtedly one of the most absorbing, addictive and influential manga titles out there. Like a drug, you can't just casually like it without becoming obsessed with it.
So when a JoJo fan also happens to be a figure sculptor, there's no such thing as a halfway job. All the JoJo related action figures showcased at Wonder Festival 2010 Winter were painstakingly detailed and capable of perfectly imitating the characters' incredible posture (widely practiced as JoJo Dachi by JoJo fanatics).
