The head sculpt conveys Joe's determined expression, with clean facial paint and a closely styled fringe that mirrors his appearance in the series. The body employs sharp armor detailing and segmented plating to evoke the cyborg aesthetic, while maintaining a compact, action-ready silhouette. The joints are integrated into the design to allow a wide range of poses, including dynamic running stances and battle-ready gestures. Texturing varies between smooth exteriors and recessed panel lines, with subtle shading to bring depth to armor and fabric-like elements.

At roughly 150 millimeters tall, the figure makes a strong visual impact on display, embodying the kinetic spirit of the character without overwhelming the shelf space.

Shimamura Joe, known in the 009 Re:Cyborg series as the improvisational hero named 009, begins as a compassionate young man thrust into a world where technology has transformed ordinary people into powerful weapons. After the accident that turned him into a cyborg, Joe grapples with the responsibilities of his abilities, balancing a desire for a normal life with the duty to protect friends and civilians from those who would misuse mechanized power. Throughout the story, he joins forces with fellow cyborgs to confront the plot of the enigmatic Black Ghost, uncover conspiracies, and navigate the ethical costs of augmentation. Joe’s optimism, quick wit, and loyalty help maintain hope amid intense battles and moral ambiguity, making him a cornerstone of the ensemble. His journey blends personal identity with the broader struggle for freedom, justice, and humanity in a world where machines and memories intertwine.
