During its “NENDOROID FUNS” event, Good Smile Company revealed that it will be releasing a Nendoroid of the titular character from the Black Jack series. 

This marks a significant addition to the Nendoroid line, bringing a character from one of manga’s foundational works into the popular figure series.

Black Jack is a seminal manga series created by Osamu Tezuka, often revered as the “God of Manga.” 

First serialized in 1973, the series follows the titular character, a brilliant but unlicensed surgeon who performs miraculous operations but demands exorbitant fees.

Despite his unorthodox methods and mysterious nature, Black Jack often demonstrates a deep commitment to life and justice, exploring complex ethical dilemmas within the medical field. 

The series has had various anime adaptations and remains a cornerstone of medical drama and an influential work in manga history.

Nendoroids are a series of small, articulated figures known for their distinct “chibi” or “super deformed” aesthetic, characterized by large heads and compact bodies.
