KATANA Toys - The Ordinary Gentleman (Yoshikage Kira from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

[PizzaMan]

... or The Ordinary Gentelman as the images say

This seemingly came out of nowhere.
KATANA Toys (which seems to be a new company?) has announced a 1/6 scale Yoshikage Kira figure.
This would be the first JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 1/6 figure since Medicom's line that ended back in 2012 (even though this is third-party).

It's available in 2 sets:
The Ordinary Gentleman KT001 A - Regular (860 yuan pre-order price):
-1x Calm Head Sculpt
-1x Super Movable Body
-1x Clothing
-1x Briefcase
-1x Paper Bag
-1x Detatched Hand
-2x Shoes
-6x Hands
-1x Flower Pot w/ Stray Cat
-1x Regular Base

The Ordinary Gentleman KT001 B - Deluxe (1280 yuan pre-order price):
-Everything from the Regular version
-1x Evil Head Sculpt
-1x Road Base
-1x Killer Queen Immovable Statue

Release date is estimated to be Q4 2024.
Pre-orders are open now with a deadline of May 22nd 2024. Although, there doesn't seem to be many reputable places with it on pre-order outside of TaoBao.

Yeah, it's weird how not many retailers have it. I'm guessing it's because it's a new company with no track record, or it just fell under the radar.
I ended up pre-ordering the standard version through TaoBao, and will be forwarding it to Superbuy when it's released.
Only reputable retailer outside of TaoBao that I know of that has it is Sugo Toys, which have the Deluxe version. It is quite pricey though, and since it ships from Australia, it may be even more expensive if you're not in Australia.

Just paid the rest of the balance. Looks to be releasing early next month. Seller I bought from says they'll receive it October 8.
