Today I will show you the figure of Kaname Madoka – Mahou Shoujo Madoka ☆ Magica Gaiden made by Stronger and distributed by Aniplex, you could have bought this figure bundled with Tamaki Iroha, but I just wanted Madoka.

Ah Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica, the surprise hit and little disturbing anime about magical girl Madoka and her friends with mental issues from 2011. The latest figure I received was Miki Sayaka from GSC in 2012.

Obviously, her face is damn cute. Without the hatching the eye design from the game is different than from the anime. The difference is not really obvious, anyway the big sparkly eyes make the figure appear quite adorable and lively.

This figure is based on the side story Mahou Shoujo Madoka ☆ Magica Gaiden, a smartphone RPG, an anime adaptation of that will follow in January, 2020.

I admit that the Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 3: Hangyaku no Monogatari left me in despair and confusion. But when I saw this cute adaptation of the Kaname Madoka character I didn’t have to think twice, about ordering.

Kaname Madoka was released in August 2019, she has been sculpted by Miyajima Katsuyoshi. She is scaled 1/8 and measures adorable 20 cm. Somehow I expected to be a little bigger, but that is ok.

I think that figure is beautiful and sweet no matter from where you look, inside the box you will find the figure, a base, a bow and an exchangeable left hand for displaying the figure without bow.

There we have Madoka with her usual hairstyle, the pigtails decorated with big dark pink colored ribbons, the different shade of pink at the tips creates more depth and makes the magical girl look quite fashionable.

Her outfit is as girly as a magical girl outfit can be , without sounding sarcastic it feels like a mix of wedding cake with lots of frills and pink. She wears a red collar around her neck. I really like the corsage with short puffy sleeves, the yellow and pink colors are quite charming as well as the frilly seam lines and the tiny pink buttons.

Bare skin is shown at her arms, the upper chest and at her back. At the backside is a heart shaped cutout. Gosh everything is just so cute. The small figure actually has beautiful knees highlighted by the frilly socks. the shoes are very red and very glossy. The contrast to the matte colors is quite nice.

The most obvious part of her outfit is the voluminous skirt, the pink top layer looks very appealing with the red rim and the tiny pattern at the tips. She wears white gloves, their design again seems to be based on flower petals.

As already mentioned she has a hand for holding her bow and a different hand for the option to display her without it. With the leafs and rose on top, the bow looks quite a lot like a natural stick, except for the gems attached to it, a nice looking detail is the string at the bow. Madoka’s right hands index finger indicates that she could stretch the bow string, but I don’t want to break something.

Final Words

Kaname Madoka – Mahou Shoujo Madoka ☆ Magica Gaiden from Stronger is a wonderful figure where the cuteness doesn’t stop. Her cute face is extremely adorable and the outfit is stunning with all details and overall design. the arched back is a bit extreme, but aside from that the figure is flawless in regards of colors and sculpting quality, looking at this enchanting figure makes me happy.

Welcome to New Preorders part 30, my figure ordering slowed down a little in recent related posts, still 30 is quite a number worth mentioning. I placed 2 figure orders since part 29, so today we will mainly take a look at the figures that recently were listed in the shops.

Ordered Items

So here are the figures I’ve ordered recently …

Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Yudachi Kai Ni

manufacturer: GSC – scale: 1/8 – release: october 2016

After Shigure Kai which was covered in a previous post on this blog, it didn’t took long for her “classmate” Yuudachi to be officially presented by GSC. The “Nightmare from the Salomons” looks absolutely stunning with her confident pose and expression ready for battle. Aside from looking cool with her detailed mechanical backpack , Yuudachi still shows lots of cuteness.

Natsu no Kemono – Chitose – Character’s Selection

manufacturer: Rocket Boy, Native – scale: 1/6 – release: june 2016

I couldn’t resist to place an order for this darling (⁄ ⁄^⁄ᗨ⁄^⁄ ⁄). She obviously has her naughty bits and details, but she also creates this sweet and romantic atmosphere around her. This lovely facial expression is just marvelous. I also love her soft skin look and her butt is terrific.

Interesting figures

I haven’t ordered these figures, but at least I find them overly interesting and like to list them. Tell me which one you like or which not, or which figure you would like to see in a review

THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Riina Tada

manufacturer: ALTER – scale: 1/8 – release: august 2016

I ordered Idolmaster Cinderella Girls figures before the anime got popular, I honestly tried to ignore the anime when it aired. Recently I just watched both seasons and surprisingly my enjoyment was very, very high and many characters grow on me. Soon I started noticing the figure adaptions, too. The figure of Tadaa Rina is the first one that I find extremely appealing.

I liked the group of her and Miku a lot, there is also a Miku figure matching Riina’s visual style, but her priority is less high for me. Riina looks super cute and also will come with an e-guitar.

Strike Witches – Charlotte E. Yeager Bunny style

manufacturer: Aquamarine- scale: 1/8 – release: July 2016

Useless 10bit video releases prevented me from watching the latest Strike Witches animation, but whatever. The figure of Charlotte looks adorable with cap and bunny suit combination.

The friendly face, her ample busom and alternative hand options are nice, she has rather detailed fingers. Until Miette-chan reviewed a figure made by Aquamarine, I had no real opinion regarding their quality before, but apparently their latest figures are good quality.

Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Akitsushima

manufacturer: Funny Knights – scale: 1/7 – release: june 2016

I’m not familiar with this relatively new ship from Kancolle, but damn I love her design. Akitsushima is a very cute girl with a lively personality. Her face is appealing as well; purple eyes and a pretty smile. The nicely designed uniform, but also her mechanical ship parts look cool and interesting. It’s also really cute how she carries the big plane around gently.

THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls: Kaede Takakagi

manufacturer: Wave – scale: 1/8 – release: july 2016

I like that this figure of Kaede has the appearance and charm of a real lady, a young lady ;D Oh my! her face and make up look so gorgeous. Her outfit might be simple from a certain standpoint, in my eyes it really got class and suits the attractive Kaede in a casual manner.

Super Sonico with Macaron Tower

manufacturer: Alphamax – scale: 1/7 – release: august 2016

That is a super adorable Sonico figure, a sweet face which shows her love for macarons ;D
She is wearing an extremely cute, nice pastel colored, frilly bikini. Also her curvy and buxom body appears to be nicely portrayed in this figure adaption. I already have a number of cute Sonico figures, so I rather feel like not getting this one.

Love Live! School Idol Festival – Nozomi Tojo

manufacturer: ALTER – scale: 1/7 – release: june 2016

I doubt that we will see a nicer figure adaption of Nozomi, ALTER makes stunning Love Live! School Idol Festival figure. Nozomi wears a spectacular and elaborately designed costume, it also ccompliments her womanly body. I’m not sure if the closed eye was a good design idea,, I would be happier with both of her pretty eyes opened.

Figures I should have ordered already, but other shit came up

Here are figures I also would have liked to order, but other things happened. Preorder slots were already full or I simply noticed the figure too late.

Amagi Brilliant Park – Isuzu Sento

manufacturer: ALTER – scale: 1/7 – release: june 2016

I feel so sad that I can’t fit her in my current preorder roadmap,  in june I already have two exclusive and expensive figure orders  that prevent any further figure in that month. I hope something will be delayed sooner than  later. Buuuwahhh Sento is so pretty ੨( ･᷄ ︵･᷅ )ｼ..

Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata – Katou Megumi

manufacturer: Aniplex – scale: 1/7 – release: september 2016

I honestly didn’t notice her during the limited preorder time XD Hopefully I can find her after release.  The figure is very sweet, she has a lovely expression and also an alternative face.

Mahou Shoujo – Suzuhara Misae – Summer Sailor Uniform

manufacturer: Orca Toys – scale: 1/7 – release: february 2016

I’m not especially fond of characterdesign of Raita, I don’t like certain ssmall aspects of it. The figure was freshly released and owner pictures showed that Misae looks great ♡.

That is the end of my small New Preorder overview post. Was there something you already preordered or plan to order soon? Let me know your story in the comments. see you soon ^^
