Chara Heroes
Chara Heroes (キャラヒーローズ, Kyara Hīrōzu) were a line of miniature figurines recognizable by their exaggerated features and disproportionally large heads. The now-defunct Japanese company, TokiMeki.com (ときめきドットコム, Tokimeki dotto Komu), had released several JoJo's Bizarre Adventure-related character sets featuring many characters from Phantom Blood to Stone Ocean.
Figures were sold in a Gashapon-type system and were categorized as trilogy sets based on the part of the manga they were in. The company also sold dedicated display stands to hold all the character figures, each one designed to match each character set, e.g the Part 5 display featured the Colosseum in Italy.
The figures were periodically released from 2009 to 2012 and were all modeled by Kambanart France.
