Black Jack joins Good Smile Company's Nendoroid lineup

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.

Each Nendoroid typically comes with interchangeable face plates, body parts, and accessories, allowing collectors to customize expressions and poses.

Good Smile Company regularly updates fans on new product announcements through its broadcasts and events.

The announcement of a Nendoroid for Black Jack suggests continued interest in classic manga properties within the modern collectible market.

Fans of Osamu Tezuka’s work and Nendoroid collectors can anticipate details regarding the figure’s specific design, included accessories, pricing, and release date in the coming months.

The figure is expected to capture Black Jack’s iconic appearance, including his distinctive bi-colored hair and facial scar.
