Though a bit boring in a sense because they didn't manage to integrate well the characters with the objects (I couldn't think of doing that myself in any way as well though). It's just the character posing with the object by it's side or parts of it around her.

I dislike the majority of these designs; the appliance parts look too tacked-on instead of cleverly incorporated. But, I like the use of clothesline clips for Madoka's hair-clips.

I think it could take quite a bit of time for Homura and Mami to adapt themselves from shooters to appliances. Laughing

Madoka being chosen as the washing machine is just wrong on so many levels. Not gonna lie, but several mature jokes came to mind, making me think that either she, or Homura, would have been the perfect washing machine candidate.

I love Kyoko's outfit, though. Would love to see her battle in that.

I think they're pretty badly designed. Just put few household appliances and pasted it right into PMMM's design. Not clever at all.

Even given the obvious intended "NEET-appeal fantasy" of that scene from Welcome to the NHK ("My friends, the refrigerator, TV and microwave!") whether it's historical-sword guys or appliance-girls, sooner or later, we're going to hit that conceptual Tom Hanks point:

Will have to disagree at least with the Homura/Camera combo as it ties in well with the "perverted Homura" meme.

When they all made contracts to become magical appliance girls, one can only wonder if Kyubey is in it too. . . . . .

I'm willing to bet that Sakura would try to use her modified weapon to iron Kyuubey into submission. Smile

At this point, the question is which franchise is the bigger sell-out:

Madoka Magica or Evangelion?
