Sayaka-chan!! Is she finally complete?!
I showed a quick look of her from behind back on the 13th!
You can’t see it in this photo, but Oda-P is looking at her with a very satisfied expression! :) It also seems like once again a strange Gundam-like figure has appeared on his desk! (That is Gundam… right?)
They are both mostly white and blue…
But I think I’ll take the one on the left… she’s much cuter!
The 4th in the Puella Magi Madoka Magica 1/8th scale series:
Sayaka Miki!
From the popular anime series that picked up all sorts of awards in 2011, ‘Puella Magi Madoka Magica’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Madoka’s close friend, Sayaka Miki!
This is the forth figure in the series, following on from Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi and Mami Tomoe!
This is how she looks from the back!
The huge cape on her back is billowing in the wind behind her, giving the figure a lovely dynamic feeling! The skirt is also incredibly detailed – just look at all those wrinkles and ruffles in the skirt!
Of course the other wonderful part about it is just how close you come to seeing underneath it. :P The triangle made between her two legs underneath her skirt is such a tease!
Her expression is absolutely lovely!
The expression was what needed the last final changes making my review a little delayed, but as you can see she looks absolutely lovely! Those innocent looking eyes reflect her personality so wonderfully! Plus as those who own lots of figures may have noticed…
The head has no separation line!! ((((゜Д゜)))
Normally there is a separation line on the hair somewhere just above the ears that is caused by the mold, but Sayaka doesn’t have one at all! It looks like GSC production team are working on some new production techniques!!
So many beautiful shades of blues!
Hiro, the same person responsible for the paint work on the 1/8th scale Madoka, was also in charge for the work on Sayaka! (Well… actually all the figures in the Madoka series…)
As with before, the coloring of the Madoka series has always been quite troublesome, but Hiro has always managed to bring it out so beautifully! There are so many varying shades of blue on her, but it still looks so nicely balanced!
She also has the soul gem on her belly! Made from clear parts!
Her lovely thin body looks so soft!
I’m sure I need not mention that my personal favorite is her armpits! But another very interesting part on Sayaka is the area between her collarbone and the lace around her outfit. In other words the bare skin just above her breasts – it looks so soft and touchable, and the thin body just makes it seem even more like the body of a real goddess! Beautiful!
Her skirt fluttering up in the wind!
The front of her skirt is neatly shaped to her body line, while the back is blowing up in the wind! The sculpting work is just incredible!
She comes with optional sword parts!
As with all the previous figures in the Madoka 1/8th scale series, Sayaka also comes with some optional weapon parts! The swords are attached to a different set of hands, and you simply replace the hands completely to equip her with the swords.
You can have her hold both of them like this, or if you prefer you can make her just hold one of the two. It’s quite hard to tell from the photo, but the swords are of a wonderful quality as well – they have very intricate designs.
A picture together with Madoka!
Madoka was just released this month! This is the actual sales version of Madoka displayed with the prototype of Sayaka… you can see the quality of the final version is just the same as the prototype!
But I really can’t wait to display hem all together!!
