Tomorrow's Joe 1/6 Figure [SPOILS THE ENDING!]

[Liad]

Hey everyone, just found and instantly pre-ordered a statue that I've been looking for for years. Although this is the most iconic scene in manga history (and you've probably seen it tons of times even if you haven't read the original), I want to stress that it spoils the ending to Tomorrow's Joe.

Colorless "Manga" version:

Instantly pre-ordered both of these guys.

I loved watching A----a no Joe and will probably get this statue, too, but it's the polystone material that puts me off. I've heard those are prone to damage during shipping. :(

Will have to wait until release to see how it turns out. It does look great, though.

Yeah i'm surprised it's not PVC, which is pretty much what every japanese statue is.

I've bought a lot of resin statues though, haven't had any breakage yet. I hope they package it well - most japanese statues being pvc, it's pretty much packaged like a toy action figure - hope they don't go that route....

I remember binge watching season 2 of Joe on Hulu about a year ago. The character was so dynamic and made me wish there were more out there like him. He could be a selfish prick from time to time, but when it came down to helping people he loved, he was probably the best friend anyone could ask for.
I love this piece because it pretty much just reminds me of all the random emotions that occurred from me during that insane Boxing match.
