She’s finally ready for everyone!!
That’s one huge box!!
I think this has to be the biggest box we’ve ever made for a 1/8th scale figure! The staff member I got to hold it looks like she is about to fall over holding it! :P
Anyway, sorry once again for making everyone wait a little longer for this figure, but she goes on sale today!
She is also the very last review on the blog for this year!

| From the last episode of the hit anime series ‘Puella Magi Madoka Magica’, comes a 1/8th scale figure of Ultimate Madoka – the form Madoka took once her wish was granted and she became a Puella Magi.
Her long flowing hair, the deep space confined within her dress, her transparent wings and even her bow that looks like a budding flower – every part of Ultimate Madoka has been carefully sculpted to faithfully reproduce the original.
The included pedestal is made to look like the magical symbols in space that formed each time she fired an arrow.

I’ll be doing a review of a product straight out of the box – exactly the same as the ones that you’ll all be able to get your hands on from today! It’s hard to believe that this is a mass-produced product…
She came out perfectly!!
It looks just as beautiful as the original prototype did! The manufacturing team really did an outstanding job!
A look at the entire figure!
A look at the entire figure!
She was simply to big to fit behind a single monitor, I had to use two! She does take up quite a lot of space, so you might want to clear out a large space for when yours arrives! (`･ω･´)
Let’s spin around to her side!
Let’s spin around to her side!
This is the best angle to get a look at her beautiful legs and long flowing hair! It really looks like she is floating in the air, but she is actually supported without any worries about stability by the stand and her long skirt.
Spin ever further to the back!

Looking at her billowing dress from the back shows off just how big the figure is – she has such a stunning presence!
The front from a different angle!

This is the best angle to see her bow and arrow as well as her wings! The wings are made with a clear plastic and look so beautiful…

She is 1/8th scale, but looking at her from the top you can see she does look much bigger – but she makes such good use of space. For those interested in numbers, she is approximately 33cm tall and 36cm in length!
Let’s go from a lower angle!
Let’s go from a lower angle!
Ultimate Madoka is such a lovely straightforward gaze so most people might want to display her facing forward, but I personally love looking at her from this angle! You get such a good look at her face, breasts, thighs, the bow and arrow and wings – you can see everything perfectly!
Hiro-san, who was in charge of direction!
He is checking everything so carefully!! Hiro has personally checked everything from the original prototype to all the test releases to ensure she comes out perfectly!
He is also the one responsible for all the incredible paintwork as well as the expression for the figure!
The expression is perfect!!
The expression is perfect!!
Just look how adorable she’s come out!
The gradient in her eyes is so beautiful! The little bit of hair brushing over her cheek adds a bit more of a dynamic feeling even to the expression – the little things like this are so important!
Her thighs and the starry skirt!
Her thighs and the starry skirt!
The space paintwork inside the skirt look beautiful! You might worry that the little stars spotted around might just look messy, but that really isn’t the case – they really do look out of this world!
The skirt has a pearl coating!

The white areas are all coated with a shiny pearl coating, and the pink areas seem to have a different shade depending on the angle you look from!
A change of perspective on the wings!
A change of perspective on the wings!
You get a good look at the entire wing from this side! Once you’ve put the figure on display, most people never have a chance to look at the back of a figure – I challenge everyone to take some photos when they first get the figure to get a really good look at all the different angles from the start!
Her stunning body-line!
Her stunning body-line!
Just look at all the exquisite details – the lovely little bumps on her chest, the creases in her clothes and even the little indent in her clothes for the belly-button!
The magic circle pedestal!!
The magic circle pedestal!!
Even the pedestal is fantastic! Just like all the previous 1/8th scale Madoka figures, Ultimate Madoka comes with a lovely circular pedestal.
It also is made from clear plastic, has a lovely gradient and has the magical circle shapes placed on it!
Today’s final shot!
Today’s final shot!
I tried my best to end with a photo that shows off as many of her charms as possible, and I don’t think this is a bad shot for that!
I’m certain if you get hold of her you’ll be very happy with your purchase! I simply can’t believe this is a mass-produced product, it’s simply amazing!
