New Kishibe Rohan S.H.Figuarts released to celebrate second theatrical release for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure spin-off
BANDAI SPIRITS is set to release a new action figure, based on the live-action adaptation of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure spin-off, “Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe”.
Rohan Kishibe, a popular character from Hirohiko Araki’s “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” series, first seen in “Diamond Is Unbreakable,” gained even wider recognition through his spin-off manga “Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe” (Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai).
This series, which amongst other adventures has seen Rohan traveling the world to gather inspiration for his work, has since been adapted into a popular live-action drama series and, more recently, the film “Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan: At a Confessional” (Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai: Zange-shitsu).
This S.H.Figuarts rendition directly draws from his appearance in the latest film, which is due to be released in Japan on the 23rd May, 2025.
The figure utilizes CG scanning of actor Issey Takahashi to ensure accurate replication of Rohan’s likeness, offering new facial expression parts and highly poseable hand parts to capture his memorable gestures.
The figure also meticulously reproduces Rohan’s distinctive costume, faithfully bringing the film’s aesthetic to the collectible.
The iconic, uniquely designed coat even features different material textures for the hood portion, showcasing an impressive attention to detail.
The set includes various costume option parts, allowing collectors to recreate diverse stylings seen throughout the movie.
A promotional video featuring actor Issey Takahashi discussing the new movie and the S.H. Figuarts has been released by BANDAI SPIRITS:
Priced at 13,200 yen (including tax), pre-orders for the new Kishibe Rohan (Movie “Rohan Kishibe: The Confessional”) S.H. Figuarts opened on Premium Bandai today, the 23rd of May, 2025, to coincide with the theatrical launch of “Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan: At a Confessional” in cinemas across Japan.
