How come there's always news about Madoka getting any figures on here when GSC announces items for other series all the time?
Just curious. |

Dammit Good Smile! I want this so badly, but if I get it I'll have to get the rest of the Madoka Nendos.

In a way, Madoka is in an awkward position of having been made for otaku, but picked up by a way more mainstream audience than that in Japan. So there has been a lot of promotion for the figures and such on television and beyond in hopes of the mainstream audience finding interest in owning these originally-otaku-targeted merchandise. I had heard Madoka got popular with the mainstream audience, but I didn't expect, coming here, that it would be this well known. I'm not even anywhere near Tokyo or its sub-areas. The series wasn't broadcasted here until after the initial wave of popularity from the series calmed down. And it still seems to be well-known, even if a lot of people haven't seen it yet. Comparing it to K-ON!, it seems to have a more respectable reputation. K-ON! is known as the "otaku anime they sell small goods for at Lawson's and such" around where I'm living right now... Not to mention... I just came back from the second Madoka movie. In both movies' cases, I didn't see one dominant demographic. I saw men AND women of all ages, from young children to older couples and such (probably no older than 40 or so, but still). And this was the opening day only. I had to come back to the theater to grab another ticket because I lost my first one, and the after-showings were almost as packed as the first day's, and there were less males than there were females, and less teenagers and college students than there were adults... It all truly surprised even me. |

I'll be getting the figma version that was also previewed this week. It's the only Madoka figma I don't have.

She lost her legs in the last episode? I don't recall that.

I hadn't given thought to how this figure or the non-Nendoroid version could be announced without spoiling its relevance to the plot, so I top my proverbial hat to you fine ANN staffers for this act of consideration.
I can never refer to her as spoiler["Ultimate Madoka" as the portmanteau "Godoka"] has just found its way into my heart and refuses to leave.

Is there really any difference between that and her form in the opening credits? Other than the wings, or at least the ankle-wings, I mean.
