A big thanks to everyone who came to Dengeki’s 20th Anniversary!!
The GSC booth was a great success! Thanks to everyone who stopped by! I hope you enjoyed the food, goods and figure displays!
Today I’ll be taking a look at one of the products that debuted at the event!
From Puella Magi Madoka Magica:
graphig++ Puella Magi Madoka Magica!
The Madoka Magica characters are joining the chibi square ‘graphig++’ series of figures! These look like so much fun to collect!
The films recently premiered in a number of countries, how many of you managed to see them? Myself, Oonoshi from the web team and Masu from Max Factory went to Ikebukuro th watch the first movie, but he hadn’t reserved seats and they sold out while we were on the way there!
Fortunately we quickly changed our plans and went to Saitama, where we managed to enjoy the movie!! It was really close though… a few seconds later and we might have missed out! It just goes to show how important reserving seats are!!
Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname!
They have such a simple design, and yet all the important features of each character are still nice and visible. The large headed design also give them such unique balance!
Madoka has kind of droopy eyes that look so cute! Homu Homu even has the Soul Gem printed into the back of her hand – it’s so tiny!!
Sayaka Miki and Kyouko Sakura!
The sculpting of Kyouko’s ponytail needs a special mention here! It manages to keep the square feeling of a graphig figure so nicely, while still keeping the shape nicely! It’s quite hard to see from this angle, but Sayaka’s cape is also faithfully reproduced in graphig form!
Somewhat irrelevant, but I have to add that I really love these two characters!
Kyubey and Mami Tomoe!
Kyubey looks so adorable like this! His body and tail are so cute! :P
Mami-san’s slanted hat, bust size and hair accessory are all faithfully represented on the graphig! It’s so nice to see all your favorite characteristics on a chibi figure like this!
graphig++ figures can swap expressions!
As you’d expect, the head can be detached at the joint found in their necks, but you can also detach the hair and face separately!
Unlike the others Kyubey doesn’t really have a separate hair part, but inside the Kyubey head is another Kyubey head! There is in fact a reason for this…
(◕ ‿‿ ◕)
It allows you to exchange expressions for completely bizarre situations like this!! I think we ought to be quite scared of this Madoka…
Plus you can kind of use the outer head as a… hat?
Unfortunately if remove the hair, you also remove the side on the sides, so it looks a bit strange in that regard. You could always buy two sets and try repainting the one. :P
You could also use it giant Kyubey mask instead!
Displayed with Nendoroid Petites!
They’re ever so slightly bigger, and definitely have a strong presence! They’re definitely a very convenient size to display beside you on the desk!
I think I’ll place them on the top of my monitor! They’ll look so cute there!
