Summary

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Figure Collections Box

The company was originally founded in 1989 as a workshop for modelers in Osaka, Japan. The workshop was eventually moved to Tokyo where it developed into a corporate company and began manufacturing garage kits. The studio also offers courses in the basics of creating figures.

Heavy Gauge is known in particular for being the first company to manufacture and distribute figures for the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series.[1] Before their public release, they were used as promotional artwork within the V Jump guidebook for the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Super Famicom game.
