Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Max Factory Figmas Review

image
Among the figures that I own, this set of figures is one of my favourites. They’re vibrant, colourful and true to the show with lots of accessories and tons of fun to be had! Setting up scenes from the show/films along with creating ones of your own is always enjoyable. I’ll go into detail about each of the figures, as well as show off their accessories. Glamour shots of the figures is also ahead!
Feel free to use this as a guide when purchasing your own Madoka Magica figmas online. Be careful of fraudulent China made figures! If the price seems too good to be true it probably is! Go to websites like AmiAmi or Hobby Search and check out their boxes in detail so you know what to look for when buying off of non-hobby sites like Amazon or Ebay. I’ve purchased fraudulent and legitimate figures off of Ebay so you have to be careful when purchasing off those sites.

Madoka’s figma is pinky pink making her one of the cutest figures of the set for sure. Her dress is very well detailed, with each bow and ribbon looking perfect and plush on her dress even though they’re plastic. She is very flexible despite that big skirt so you can put her into any action position. She comes with a sitting Kyubey, a closed and open bow as well as 4 arrows for it. She comes with 2 Grief Seeds and 2 other faces (scared and determined). She’s a smaller figure along with the others in the series, they all stand at about 11.5 cm (4.5 in).

One thing to be careful with are those small accessories! Kyubey’s ear rings are detachable, and those Grief Seeds are super tiny. Be careful when playing with these because losing an item is always heartbreaking and to get a replacement piece you’d have to replace the whole figure (they do not sell accessories separately). One gripe is that Kyubey is a little top heavy and never seems to sit without some struggle. Otherwise this is a fantastic figure.

Here are all accessories (not shown is the stand). Every figma figure comes with a ziplock bag for all the accessories, however if you’re collecting like I am then keeping the box is a must. The box however is nothing exciting to look at (sorry I did not take photos of the box). If you keep the box everything fits nicely inside; personally I suggest keeping the box.

This figure is an 8.0 out of 10 in my opinion. It loses points because of the lack of a Soul Gem (all these figmas don’t have one) as well as being a bit underwhelming in terms of accessories. Later in this post I review the Ultimate Madoka figure which also includes the same open bow with slightly different arrows. Why have the same accessories? Give us a second Charlotte form or other witches for our enjoyment. Just a personal disappointment but anywho, onto the next figure!
