Main Manufacturers: What Each One Offers
Banpresto / Bandai Spirits
The highest-volume JJK figure producer. Banpresto and Bandai Spirits together cover everything from affordable prize figures to premium statue lines:
- VIBRATION STARS — dynamic action poses, ¥1,500–¥2,500
- Ichibansho — the top of Banpresto's JJK lineup; closer to scale figure quality with better poses and detail
- Ichiban Kuji — lottery-based merchandise line. The 5th Anniversary FINAL lot is the most anticipated JJK release of 2026. ¥800/draw; A Prize is a large MASTERLISE Yuji Itadori (~23 cm), B Prize is Yuta Okkotsu. Limited quantity — expect it to sell out quickly.
Bandai Spirits – Figuarts Zero
The go-to line for technique-moment statue figures. Figuarts Zero releases capture specific combat scenes — Yuji's Black Flash, Gojo's Hollow Technique: Purple, Sukuna with interchangeable arms. These are fixed-pose display pieces, not articulated — they're built for shelf impact, not posing. Effect parts (cursed energy, domain expansion visuals) make even medium-size figures dramatic. Price range: ¥7,000–¥20,000.
Bandai Spirits – S.H.Figuarts
Articulated action figures with wide range of motion, swappable hands, and accessory sets. Best for fans who want to interact with their figures rather than just display them. S.H.Figuarts Gojo with blindfold-on/-off options is the most popular release in this line. Price range: ¥8,000–¥15,000.
Kotobukiya
The ARTFX J line covers JJK's main cast at 1/8 scale with excellent paint accuracy and sculpt detail. Yuji and Gojo ARTFX J releases are collector benchmarks. Price range: ¥15,000–¥25,000. Best choice when you want one exceptional figure per character.
Good Smile Company
Nendoroids and POP UP PARADE for JJK. Nendoroid Gojo and Sukuna were announced, with pre-orders opening in 2026. Nendoroids suit JJK well — swappable faces and effect accessories work with the series' expressive character designs. POP UP PARADE offers clean, fixed-pose figures at ¥4,000–¥6,000.
Taito
Taito produces strong mid-range JJK prize figures, particularly for Megumi and Nobara. Their Nobara Straw Doll Technique figure — hammer raised, nails in hand, cursed energy effect base — is one of the most visually dynamic JJK prize figures available at any price. Price range: ¥3,000–¥6,000.
FuRyu
FuRyu's JJK line sits between standard prize figures and scale quality. Their Gojo and Yuji releases offer above-average detail for the price. Good option for characters with fewer premium figure options.
SEGA
SEGA's SPM (Super Premium) line produces larger, higher-quality prize figures than standard Banpresto releases. SEGA SPM Gojo is widely regarded as one of the best budget options for the character — larger format (~20 cm), strong paint, and widely available.
MegaHouse
Look Up series compact chibi-style figures. MegaHouse Look Up Gojo and Nanami releases are popular for desk displays. Limited production; Nanami in particular tends to sell out and stay sold out.
Characters: Best Figures for Each
Satoru Gojo
The most popular JJK character for figures by a significant margin. Virtually every manufacturer has at least one Gojo release.
Key picks:
- Figuarts Zero Hollow Technique: Purple — the definitive Gojo display figure; effect parts and dynamic pose make it a genuine shelf centerpiece; widely considered the best Gojo statue available
- S.H.Figuarts Gojo — articulated; blindfold-on and -off options, multiple hands, effect accessories; best if you want to pose
- SEGA SPM Gojo — the best budget option; larger than most prize figures, strong paint, widely available
- Kotobukiya ARTFX J Gojo — 1/8 scale, premium paint accuracy, collector-grade
- Nendoroid Gojo — chibi-style with swappable faces and JJK accessories
Top pick: Figuarts Zero Satoru Gojo – Hollow Technique: Purple Budget pick: SEGA SPM Satoru Gojo
Yuji Itadori
The second most represented character. The 5th Anniversary Ichiban Kuji FINAL A Prize MASTERLISE is the most anticipated 2026 Yuji release (~23 cm, ¥800/draw lottery). Figuarts Zero Black Flash version is the strongest existing display option.
- Ichiban Kuji 5th Anniv. FINAL A Prize MASTERLISE — top-priority pick for 2026
- Figuarts Zero Black Flash — strong technique-moment statue with cursed energy effects
- Kotobukiya ARTFX J Yuji — 1/8 scale, collector-grade
- Taito / Banpresto prize — the right entry point for most collectors
Top pick: Ichiban Kuji 5th Anniv. FINAL A Prize (or Figuarts Zero Black Flash) Budget pick: Taito / Banpresto VIBRATION STARS Yuji Itadori
Ryomen Sukuna
Sukuna's multiple-arm design and domineering presence make for some of the most striking figures in the franchise. Figuarts Zero's interchangeable-arms version captures his Season 3 form well. The Nendoroid Sukuna is highly anticipated.
- Figuarts Zero Sukuna (Interchangeable Arms Ver.) — best premium pick; multiple hand/arm configurations
- Banpresto Ichibansho Sukuna — best budget option
- POP UP PARADE Sukuna — clean, affordable fixed-pose
Sukuna figure availability fluctuates — act when you see something you want.
Top pick: Figuarts Zero Ryomen Sukuna Budget pick: Banpresto Ichibansho Sukuna
Megumi Fushiguro
Taito's Megumi — crouched combat pose, dark uniform, precise facial detail — is one of the best value picks in the JJK line. Kotobukiya ARTFX J covers him at premium scale. Less represented than Gojo or Yuji, which makes some editions harder to find secondhand.
Top pick: Kotobukiya ARTFX J Megumi Fushiguro Budget pick: Taito Prize Figure Megumi Fushiguro
Nobara Kugisaki
Taito's Straw Doll Technique figure — hammer raised, nails in hand, cursed energy effect base — is the standout pick. Visually dynamic at a prize figure price. FuRyu's scale release is the premium option if you want a larger centerpiece.
Top pick: FuRyu Nobara Kugisaki (scale) Budget pick: Taito Nobara Kugisaki – Straw Doll Technique
Yuta Okkotsu
Yuta's profile rose significantly with the JJK 0 film and his expanded role in the final arc. The 5th Anniversary Ichiban Kuji FINAL B Prize is his biggest 2026 release. Demand for Yuta figures is accelerating — good time to pick up existing releases before prices rise.
Top pick: Ichiban Kuji 5th Anniv. FINAL B Prize Yuta Okkotsu Budget pick: Banpresto Ichibansho Yuta Okkotsu
Kento Nanami
A collector favorite with a dedicated fanbase. Nanami figures appear less frequently than main cast releases, giving existing ones staying power. MegaHouse Look Up Nanami is sought-after when available. Find one in good condition and it's worth holding.
Top pick: MegaHouse Look Up Kento Nanami Budget pick: Banpresto VIBRATION STARS Nanami
Toji Fushiguro
Toji's late introduction and massive fan following mean figures are in strong demand relative to supply. His muscular build and shirtless design translate well into dynamic prize figures. Scale and premium options are still catching up to demand.
Top pick: Budget pick: Banpresto VIBRATION STARS Toji Fushiguro
Choso
Choso's Blood Manipulation visual — red streaks and precise combat stance — makes for visually distinctive figures. FuRyu and Banpresto have produced strong prize-level releases. A premium scale figure would be welcome; watch 2026 announcements.
Budget pick: FuRyu / Banpresto Choso
Aoi Todo
Todo's imposing build and "Boogie Woogie" clapping pose work well in action figure form. Banpresto VIBRATION STARS is the most accessible option. Less represented in premium scale, but prize figure quality is solid.
Budget pick: Banpresto VIBRATION STARS Aoi Todo

Figuarts Zero vs. S.H.Figuarts: Which Is Right for You?
This is the most common question for JJK collector purchases in the ¥8,000–¥15,000 range:
| Figuarts Zero | S.H.Figuarts | |
|---|---|---|
| Articulation | None (fixed pose) | High (multiple joints) |
| Effect parts | Yes — often elaborate | Yes — more compact |
| Size | Larger (~18–25 cm) | Smaller (~15–17 cm) |
| Best for | Display impact | Posing and interaction |
| Price range | ¥7,000–¥20,000 | ¥8,000–¥15,000 |
For most JJK collectors: Figuarts Zero for display, S.H.Figuarts if posing matters to you. The technique-effect statues in Figuarts Zero (Gojo's Purple, Yuji's Black Flash) are some of the best display pieces in the franchise.
How to Pre-Order JJK Figures in 2026
With the 5th anniversary driving a surge of limited releases, pre-ordering is more important than ever for JJK:
- Ichiban Kuji lots announce and sell through in days — follow MIYABIYA's newsletter for alerts
- Nendoroids typically have a 1–2 month pre-order window before closing
- Figuarts Zero limited editions often don't restock after the initial production run
- Kotobukiya ARTFX J figures usually have longer pre-order windows but reward early action on popular characters
See the full pre-order buying guide for a complete checklist.
What to Check When Buying JJK Figures Secondhand
- Effect parts: cursed energy effect pieces and interchangeable hands go missing most often — always confirm accessories are present
- Base/stand: many JJK figures have elaborate display bases; check these carefully in listing photos
- Paint on fine details: black uniform stitching and facial features are the first places to show wear
- Authenticity: JJK bootlegs exist especially for Gojo figures. See the fake figure detection guide before buying from unknown sellers
Displaying Your JJK Collection
Group by role or arc. Tokyo No. 1 High shelf (Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Gojo), Hidden Inventory arc shelf (Toji, young Gojo, Geto), or Culling Game shelf (Yuji, Yuta, Higuruma). Each grouping creates strong visual narrative cohesion.
Lean into technique effects. JJK figures have some of the most elaborate effect parts in anime figure design — Gojo's blue/purple energy, Yuji's black flash sparks, Sukuna's flames. Position these facing outward and let the effects do the display work.
Contrast styles. A large Figuarts Zero technique statue as a centerpiece, flanked by SEGA SPM figures on either side, with Nendoroids at the front — the size variation creates natural depth.
See the full figure display guide for cabinet and shelf recommendations.
Buying JJK Figures from Japan
Most JJK figures are Japanese domestic releases first:
- Ichiban Kuji lots are only sold in Japan — international access requires a Japan-based retailer
- Release dates are earlier in Japan — typically 1–3 months before any international distribution
- Some figures are Japan-exclusive (specific Ichiban Kuji grades, certain retailer-exclusive colorways)
See the guide to buying figures from Japan for the full process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Jujutsu Kaisen figure overall? Figuarts Zero Satoru Gojo – Hollow Technique: Purple is widely regarded as the definitive JJK display figure — effect parts, scale, and pose all at their best.
What is the best budget JJK figure? SEGA SPM Gojo for Gojo specifically. Taito or Banpresto VIBRATION STARS for most other characters — strong quality at accessible prices.
What's the difference between Figuarts Zero and S.H.Figuarts? Figuarts Zero is a fixed-pose statue line built for display impact; S.H.Figuarts is articulated for posing. Both are Bandai Spirits products but serve different purposes.
Are there JJK figures for less popular characters like Nanami or Choso? Yes, though selection is thinner. Banpresto and Taito cover most of the main supporting cast at prize figure level. Nanami and Toji have dedicated fanbases and their figures tend to sell quickly when available.
What JJK figures are coming out in 2026? The 5th Anniversary Ichiban Kuji FINAL lot is the biggest release. Nendoroids for Gojo and Sukuna are also announced. Watch pre-order alerts for Figuarts Zero and Kotobukiya ARTFX J announcements tied to the 5th anniversary.
Where can I buy authentic JJK figures from Japan? From a Japan-based retailer that ships internationally. See the buying from Japan guide.
