A large, eye-catching statue of the popular anime character Gojo Satoru has recently been unveiled at Chalice Collectibles, a shop specializing in pop culture collectibles located in the Santa Anita Mall in Arcadia, California.
The statue depicts an unmasked Gojo conjuring his powerful Hollow Purple technique, a signature move from the anime series Jujutsu Kaisen in which Gojo stars.
The massive statue promotes a new Gojo Funko Pop vinyl figure that is now available for purchase at the store. The official product description for the new Funko Pop states that with this figure, “Class is in session with Pop! Satoru Gojo is in charge.”

It shows Gojo ready for battle against supernatural foes, harnessing his abilities. The actual Funko Pop measures about 4.5 inches tall and is priced at $20 in-store.
The towering Hollow Purple Gojo statue is an eye-catching way for the collectibles shop to highlight and promote the new Gojo product.
It brings the character to life in a vivid and dramatic fashion that is sure to attract attention from passing shoppers and anime fans alike.
The Colossal Statue Generating Fan Excitement and Imaginative Heist Schemes
While the massive Gojo statue at Chalice Collectibles has generated excitement among Jujutsu Kaisen fans, unfortunately, it seems to be just for display purposes and not available for purchase.
The towering figure of Gojo conjuring his Hollow Purple technique is roped off in the store.
This limitation has sparked some playful yet imaginative scheming among fans on social media, who have proposed elaborate hypothetical “heists” to acquire the oversized Gojo for themselves – though certainly just jokes and not real criminal plans.
Beyond lighthearted plottings to steal “Huge Gojo,” online discussion has noted how the statue’s scale reflects Gojo’s larger-than-life importance in the franchise.
As both the most powerful sorcerer in the story and one of the most profitable characters for merchandising, Gojo has an outsized presence, which the colossal statue at Chalice Collectibles represents.
Though fans can’t take home the giant Gojo statue, they can still buy the new Gojo Funko Pop at the store and imagine their own creative ways to pay homage to their favorite unmasked, Hollow Purple-wielding character. The statue serves as an imposing emblem of Gojo’s impact on pop culture.
From Life-Size Statues to Board Games, Jujutsu Kaisen Fans Can’t Get Enough
Gojo Satoru’s popularity continues to be on full display through new merchandise releases for Jujutsu Kaisen fans. Another life-size statue of the powerful sorcerer recently gained attention online, though its high cost put it out of reach for most.
In addition, publisher Shueisha has introduced a Gojo-themed board game recreating his terrifying role hunting down characters in the “Shibuya Incident” story arc.
Despite creator Gege Akutami’s suggestions of some annoyance with Gojo’s fame, the character’s captivating design and iconic blue eyes make him highly marketable.
Gojo has been immortalized in multiple Funko Pop vinyl figures previously – both masked and unmasked versions in his school uniform, as well as an exclusive model showing his Cursed Technique Reversal: Red.
The new unmasked Hollow Purple Funko Pop at Chalice Collectibles adds to this lineup.
Between statues, games, and Funko Pops, Gojo continues to be a major merchandising force. Fans eagerly await the next inevitable release celebrating Jujutsu Kaisen’s powerful fan-favorite character.
Even with his creator’s misgivings, Gojo’s visual appeal proves incredibly lucrative.
A Beacon of Light in the Shadow of Jujutsu Kaisen’s Dark Turns and Imminent Conclusion
The impressive Gojo statue arrives at a bittersweet time for Jujutsu Kaisen fans.
After a dark and tragic second season of the anime adaptation and the recent news that the manga itself will conclude in 2024, followers of the series could use some cheer.
Many beloved characters met tragic fates in the anime’s latest episodes, leading to an outpouring of grief and dismay from fans.
Further adding to a sense of finality, creator Gege Akutami announced the manga is approaching its endgame after a memorable run.
With these developments leaving fans feeling blue, the striking Gojo statue and new Funko Pop offer a small bit of solace.
They provide an opportunity to celebrate one of the series’ most iconic and powerful figures, who remains a fan favorite despite his creator’s protests.
The larger-than-life statue captures Gojo’s imposing presence and strength.
Though the future may be bleak for Jujutsu Kaisen’s story and characters, for now, this sculpted version of Gojo endures, bringing some light and enjoyment to fans during a dark time.
It remains a monument to the thrills the series has delivered.
