Cats - Bustopher Jones (Shiki Theatre Company)Bustopher Jones · Shiki Theatre Company

This collectible bust figure of Bustopher Jones is produced by the Shiki Theatre Company, representing the long-running Japanese production of the musical Cats. Standing at 93mm tall, it captures one of the most distinctive characters from the beloved Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. The Japanese production of Cats premiered in 1983 at the Cats Theater in Nishi-Shinjuku and has developed independently over the decades, creating a uniquely Japanese interpretation while maintaining replica status. The production has undergone two major overhauls, first in 1998 and again in 2018, with significant revisions to the show. Unlike western productions, the Japanese version features unique ensemble characters and different role distributions — for example, there is no Alonzo, and characters like Sillabub take on different narrative functions compared to their international counterparts. The figure comes from Shiki Theatre Company, the exclusive producer of Cats in Japan, and represents a piece of theatrical memorabilia from one of the country's longest-running stage productions.
