Good Smile Company will re-release their Nendoroid of Noriaki Kakyoin from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. The Nendoroid was originally released in May 2019. Pre-orders run from March 4 to April 15, 2021, and will ship in November 2021. The Kakyoin Nendoroid will cost ¥4980/$52.99.
Kakyoin comes with three face plates: a standard expression, a smiling expression, and the iconic “rero rero” cherry-eating expression. Additionally, the smiling face plate has scars over Kakyoin’s eyes, which reference his battle with N’Doul. However, you can cover them up with the optional sunglasses. Kakyoin also comes with his Hierophant Green’s Emerald Splash so you can recreate his battle scenes.
As one can expect, Kakyoin makes a good companion for the Jotaro Nendoroid. Purchasing from the Good Smile Online Shop also includes a bonus handshake hand part that lets Jotaro and Kakyoin shake hands. In addition, for those who didn’t buy him in January 2019, Good Smile plans to re-release Jotaro in September 2021.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is available to watch on streaming sites such as Crunchyroll and Hulu. Stardust Crusaders is the third part of the series. It follows protagonist Jotaro Kujo on his journey to Egypt to defeat DIO and save his mother. Though it is a spin-off of part 4, Diamond is Unbreakable, the Rohan-centric miniseries, Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe, is currently streaming on Netflix.
The Noriaki Kakyoin Nendoroid is available for pre-order from March 4 to April 15, 2021, and will ship in November 2021.
