Kars will be languishing in pre-order for months so let's do this, we're ~collecting~ now. #1 cranky teapot man and only good cop has arrived.
Also - the reviews are no joke, you have to try so hard to get the stand in that I dismantled the figure halfway through so I didn't accidentally pop his little head off. Not sure this is a fact of life with Nendoroids or if this one is just particularly fussy.
I'm very happy with this, considering a selling point is that they come apart. (First thing I did was put the little scowly face on, though, you bet.)

Why yes I have been casually poking around the internet every few days waiting for news about this pre-order. Blessed item. It’s the squirrel hand and the little fangs. Perfect.
I didn’t think I’d be into the nendos as much as I am but they’re charming AF.
Kars nendoroid by GSC x Medicos.
Pre-orders start October 28, Red Stone of Aja bonus charm available exclusively through Medicos’ and GSC’s online shops.

My knowledge of Leone Abbacchio is now interwoven with my knowledge of bungee cords and I’m not sure how I feel about that.
Abbacchio's stupid jacket thing doesn't actually lace up the strings are just decorative, he has to pull the whole stupid fuxgly thing up over his head to take it off every day like an asshole because he is an asshole

They're heeeee-eeeeeere! I never thought I'd be a Figure Collecting Person tm but I have been missing them since wrapping up Part 5 and could not resist the beautiful colorway on this set. For when you’re a gang, but you’re also a goth. (Why yes, Abbacchio is my favorite... why do you ask?)
Some things: I am not the original owner and my set was loved by someone else before it was loved by me. I imported the figures as a complete set from Japan and they did not come with boxes, which I don't care about personally - I do not buy things to resell them and don’t have BNIB mad money. (It is however why I was fretting a little bit about getting some surprise bootleg nonsense like the smooshed-face Giorno pen. Bless his heart.)
As such, I believe that wiggling during shipping is where the little bit of paint transfer on the backings came from, with little harm to the boys themselves. I'll clean it off when I put them on a shelf proper but I wanted to get some photos with good lighting. Also TOO EXCITED must assemble NOW.
And so I did.
Some things of note:
• Bruno’s zippers come off/go on/are the only real point of articulation here. They come helpfully numbered on the back but are a little precious about coming out.
• Panacotta’s little strawberries are delightful. He is, in particular, killing it.
• Bruno’s standing like a kid waiting for the bus for no explained reason.
• I neglected to take a picture, but the backing of Bruno’s figure is different than the others on the reverse. Instead of sharing the same rectangular pattern from the mold, it has triangles. This tracks with other photos of this set I have seen. Because he is standing on thoughts and dreams the peg on that wall is also set at a jaunty angle. (I thought it was broken... it was not broken.)
• They all line up quite nicely, except for Abbacchio, whose foot hangs over the edge because he is the biggest boy. You can put him on the end or he can please encroach into someone else’s personal bubble.
From what I can see comparing it to other photos, I can add my untrained experience to the belief that there are likely not commonly counterfeit, or at least this set is not. I love it and it makes my heart sing, but these are not complex figures with extremely fine molding detail like I am accustomed to seeing on pieces with substantially more expensive original retail price points. They are wonderful for what they are, which is I have read is a set of claw machine prizes from the early 2010s. There are so many beautiful details on the set, but there are still little blips like overspray on Mista’s figure in particular... that’s really it. The sum of the things I went “Aw peas.” over and then immediately forgot about 10 seconds later was that. Unless you have these a foot from your face, you will never notice.
I have now written a paper on these figures. May it do someone else some good. A thousand thanks of course to @cockneydio of course, whose knowledge of this set ran so that I could vaguely saunter.

Because I came to JoJo years after many of my friends, I didn’t really have a face-to-a-name for a lot of discussion about the characters in later parts. Unfortunately, even after coming to love it dearly and being very much able to remember all of their names after watching it, I will never be entirely able to stop thinking of the Passione guys as:
• Giorno
• Bruno Stracciatelli
• Ham Hat
• Moody Blues Star Hair
• Strawberry Necktie
and
• Orange
