CJ Carl Johnson Game Figure | GTA San Andreas Statue Life-Size Collectible | Gift | Unpainted Kit

🗿 CARL "CJ" JOHNSON — Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas | Life-Size Bust
Grove Street's own — gaming's greatest comeback, captured life-size.

Some games you play. San Andreas you never forget. Carl "CJ" Johnson came back to Los Santos with nothing in his pockets and a family falling apart — and turned it into one of the most beloved sagas in gaming history. This is CJ himself as a LIFE-SIZE bust: the white tank, the green Grove Street bandana, mounted on a plinth stamped with the San Andreas logo and a full five-star wanted level. And you choose your CJ — bare-faced, or masked up in the green bandana — with the option to own both and switch between them.

But nobody loves CJ for the missions alone — they love him for what Grove Street stood for. Family. Loyalty. Coming home and refusing to let it fall apart, even when the people closest to you do. He's the underdog who rebuilt a broken block back into a home, and a whole generation grew up on that story. Now, with GTA VI finally locked for 19 November 2026 and the countdown officially on, the hype is sending fans straight back to where it all started. Owning this isn't just owning a character — it's owning the era of GTA that made you a fan in the first place.

✅ LIFE-SIZE BUST — true 1:1 scale, standing roughly 60cm / 24in tall on its display base. A genuine statement centrepiece, not a desktop mini.
✅ CLOSE TO 4KG, A WEEK IN THE MAKING — nearly 4kg (≈8.8 lb) of plastic, with the better part of a week of printing and hand-finishing in every single piece.

✅ HANDMADE IN BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA — 3D-printed by hand, to order, here in Queensland.
✅ NEAR-RESIN FINISH AT BIG SCALE — FDM-printed and meticulously hand-finished to a smoothness most can't reach at this size.
✅ BUILD & PAINT IT YOURSELF — ships unpainted and unassembled, so the finished piece is your creation.
✅ PERFECT FOR — GTA fans, San Andreas die-hards, gamers, and painters who want a true showpiece.

📏 SCALE & SIZE
This is a LIFE-SIZE 1:1 bust — CJ's head printed true to life and built up into a commanding bust on its San Andreas plinth. It stands roughly 60cm (about 24in) tall on the display base, with close to 4kg of plastic in the finished piece. Want it scaled differently for a special display spot? Message me before ordering and I'll do what I can.

🧱 Material: Bambu Lab PLA — choose your colour: White, Black, Light Grey or Dark Grey. FDM-printed & hand-finished.
🎨 Finish: Unpainted, unassembled DIY kit.
📦 Supplied: Raw, unprimed, unpainted — one head of your choice (bare-faced or bandana), torso, both arms and the display base/plinth. Second head available as an optional add-on.

🔄 CHOOSE YOUR HEAD (+ OPTIONAL SECOND HEAD)
Every CJ ships with one head — choose classic bare-faced CJ or bandana CJ (green Grove Street bandana pulled up). Want both looks? Add the second head as an optional upgrade. Glue your head in place for a permanent display, or — if you grab both — set them up with magnets instead of glue so you can switch between bare-faced and bandana CJ whenever you like (small magnets are easy to source and not included).

— THE CRAFT & THE FINISH —
At life size, resin printing isn't practical — so CJ is printed on FDM and then meticulously hand-finished: sanding, filling and smoothing, using techniques I've refined to get as close to a resin-quality surface as possible at this size. At close to 4kg, with the better part of a week per piece, this is genuinely hard to do well, and it's where my time and skill go.

A NOTE ON THE RENDER: the painted images you see — skin tones, the white tank, the green bandana — show the sculptor's painted concept. Your kit ships RAW and fully unpainted in your chosen matte colour (White, Black, Light Grey or Dark Grey), so that lifelike look is yours to create with a brush. Whichever colour you pick is a neutral, painter-friendly starting point that takes primer and paint beautifully.

Being upfront: this is a handmade, hand-finished print, not a factory-moulded product. It won't be flawless — you may spot faint layer texture in places or a small imperfection here or there. That's the honest nature of a large-format print finished by hand, and it's part of what makes it a piece YOU complete and make your own. What you're assured of is care, dedication, and a quality you won't find from most others working at this scale.

⚠️ CARE — INDOOR DISPLAY PIECE
This is a PLA print, made for indoor display. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, heat and hot cars — PLA can soften or warp with extended sun and high temperatures over time. Treat it as the indoor centrepiece it's built to be and it'll hold beautifully for years.

— BUILDING YOUR CJ —
This is a hands-on kit for makers. Prime, paint and assemble CJ into a finished centrepiece that's truly your own — skin tones, tank and bandana brought to life by your own hand. A little light sanding and gap-filling helps the parts seat snugly; glue them together after priming/painting and once fully dry (super glue / CA glue works well). If you've gone for both heads, a pair of small magnets at the neck lets you swap them cleanly instead of gluing. Always prime before painting for the best result.

⏱️ MADE TO ORDER — MINIMUM 2 WEEKS
Printing begins after payment clears, and you'll receive an estimated completion ETA after purchase. This does NOT include shipping time. At close to 4kg this is a large, slow print, so it may sit at the longer end. Need it by a certain date? Message me before ordering and I'll do my best to help.

Cancellations accepted within 2 days of purchase.
Payment: PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Klarna, and Etsy Gift Cards.

— THE SCULPT —
Sculpted by Zenith, a professional figure studio I'm a licensed merchant with. I chose to work with them because I believe in the quality of their sculpts and share their passion for true centrepiece statues.

This is a physical, hand-printed and hand-finished item — I don't sell or distribute any digital or STL files.
