From Puella Magi Madoka Magica:
Nendoroid Ultimate Madoka!
| From the anime ‘Puella Magi Madoka Magica’ comes a Nendoroid of the ultimate form that Madoka Kaname took after fighting numerous battles over countless timelines – Ultimate Madoka! She comes with both a standard smiling expression as well as a determined expression to show everyone there is always hope!
Her bow and arrow are also included, along with the magical symbols that appeared at her feet whenever she fired an arrow, which allows you to recreate the famous pose with her bow drawn and ready to fire! |
Her whole outfit has a beautiful pearl paint coating!!
The elegant shine on her white outfit really gives her the divine appearance she deserves!! Back in March when we had employee training I went through to China to take a look at the factories, and at that time they were busy making Nendoroid Ultimate Madoka! I was really thrilled to see how everyone was working so hard and carefully on their respective jobs down the production line!
Thanks to all their hard work, the final product has come out looking beautiful!
This is how the packaging looks!
It’s mostly simple parts that are included with her, but the packaging still looks so full! I think the main reason for that is that the Nendoroid herself is so big and impressive – just look at her three layered skirt and beautiful long hair!
Not to mention the paintwork that has gone into the inside of her skirt to create the space effect! It’s simply amazing! Apparently to complete painting the inside of just one of these skirts, three different sets of pad printing were required! It must have taken forever to create so many!
This is how she looks from the back!
Ultimate Madoka is of course adorable from the front, but from the back you get to see her beautiful wings and hair! Her wings are made with transparent parts which have a very slight gradient applied to them – they look so pretty!! It’s nice to see figures from different angles sometimes, so be sure to give them a little adjustment once in awhile!
Two different arms to attach to the stand are included – one for posing her down low and another for up high. The one you can see here is the low one, and also allows you to use the included magical circle base attachment!
Ultimate Madoka in prayer!
This pose makes use of the bent arm parts to pose Madoka with her hands in prayer in front of her! The wrists are detachable (at the white glove parts), so you can also attach other hands onto the bent arms!
If you combine that with the opened out shoulder parts, you can make all sorts of different poses… you could even display her with hands on her hips! There might not seem to be that many arm parts, but the ones that are included give you a load of different posing options! (`・ω・´)
She can also equip the bow and arrow!
The bow is included in both it’s initial state and its transformed state! The GSC site official images only showed the transformed bow, so I decided to pose her with this one instead!
When you think about it, one of the most memorable scenes was when Ultimate Madoka’s first arrived, and at that point the bow still looked like this!
Using the cardboard sheet in the box as a background!
The cardboard backing of the box can actually be taken out! That means you can easily use it as a background for photos like this! You can also use it to cover up the mess on your desk when you don’t feel like cleaning up! :P
The GSC design team is always trying their very best to ensure the packaging suits each character perfectly! ヽ(゜∀゜)ノ
