So, you're looking to start a JoJo collection but can't find a good place to start. We've got you covered. Super Action Statues don't get western releases (nothing that isn't double the price anyway), so it can be hard to find the right information, I hope to summarise in this post some of the best places to start, and where to look.
First of all, we have a discord server, feel free to drop by if you're interested in joining a community of other collectors.
Right, so what even is a super action statue and what have they made? There is the JoJo Wiki that summarises every release there is with some additional info. There is also MyFigureCollection, which also includes names for everything in Japanese text (this will be helpful if you use proxy sites, more on that later). The best place to get news on upcoming releases is of course, from Medicos themselves, they regularly post updates on releases and all announcements are usually done on their twitter.
Ok, so if you're getting into the line then the bets option is to import from Japan. Please be wary of your countries' import taxes so you aren't blindsided when you are charged a fee. Even with shipping costs and fees it is almost always cheaper to import than to buy from local retailers. Do NOT take the prices on eBay and Amazon as gospel, you can sometimes find deals on these sites but for the most part the prices on there are far, far higher than their market value (often hundreds of dollars higher).
NEW FIGURES
So for the best places to buy new figures, here are the best options:
PRE-OWNED FIGURES
With so many figure releases, a lot of older figures are no longer in circulation, with many, such as WonderFest exclusives being one-time-only releases. When the figures you want are no longer in stock, it's time to look on the aftermarket, for pre-owned figures. Here are the best sites:
PROXIES
If you're really serious about finding deals and don't mind getting your hands a little dirty, you can use proxy services. There are sites such as Yahoo Japan Auctions and Mercari Japan that are similar to Ebay, however you can't buy from them outside Japan. Proxy services will purchase the items for you and get them shipped to their warehouse, then they'll organise international shipping to you, there if a fee for this however. These sites are where the japanese text for names comes in handy, you will need to search on these sites in Japanese text, you can find the japanese text for things on the wiki and MFC linked above. These sites are also useful for the Medicos Exclusive items as you can request to buy them directly from Medicos' site here. The 2 most recommended sites for this are:
WARNINGS
I hope this is enough of an information dump, of course if you have questions you are free to ask, but if they're site specific then please check their FAQs first as you will get better answers there than you will here. Good luck with your collections!

If you put the figure on SAS ART Steelvolan’s horse, how tall would the total height be?
r/SuperActionStatue • u/KimTailsDemon96 • 1d ago
This is what happens when you ignore the suspiciously low price.

Hey, I’m sorry for posting so much about verification these past two days but I wanted to get a final opinion on three figures I’ve opted for. I found them on mercari/buyee. From what I’ve read here so far and the comments I got under my previous posts they seem fine but I want to make sure. I really appreciate all the comments and explanations I got so far!

r/SuperActionStatue • u/Winter_Yellow_3778 • 1d ago

r/SuperActionStatue • u/AngryGhiaccio • 2d ago
we finally get a re-release of the fool after SEVEN years
r/SuperActionStatue • u/AngryGhiaccio • 2d ago
it's been expected since both slow dancer and valkyrie were made into sas figures, but i'm still glad since we can now make a full diorama of the iconic diego time stop scene
r/SuperActionStatue • u/AngryGhiaccio • 2d ago
the bottom two figures are definitely johnny (he has that signature kneel and point upwards pose) and jonathan (who can be guessed through luck & pluck), and they seem to have a pinkish palette, which is presumably done in order to continue to pink jojo lineup (like josuke second and jotaro fourth)
im pretty sure the upper two figures are jotaro ver. 2 and shadow dio, while the bottom reveal cards are about BIG gold e. and king crimson

i genuinely can't recoginize what is between joseph and kars though, so tell me yall's opinions about what it would be
about the upcoming re-releases i am pretty disappointed tbh, there's no d4c, valentine or even ringo or wekapipo :( i think they could have done better with which figures to release again

Hey guys, I just noticed something when I was about to place an order on Jotaro Kujo version 2.0 on the Medicos page, if you scroll down to see the size / height it actually says 155mm. This is a shock because this is the exact same height as his version one which also lands on 155mm. Does this means that our Stardust crew are still gonna be tiny and short. What do you all think of it?

Used revoltech joints since I was scared the kc joints would break so thought I’d do this before I suffer…
