Banpresto Announces New Mami Figures(!!!)

April 2017, mark that date on your calendar because Banpresto has finally announced (two) brand new Mami figures! As part of the new series of Madoka Magica "Relax Time" SQ figures, this was one that has been in the works for quite a while. Starting off with Homura and Madoka in late-November 2016 followed by Kyouko and Sayaka in February 2017, we will finally be getting Mami two months after that in April. 

Fresh of the Madogatari collaboration series of figures, Banpresto has decided to stick with the linking-bases concept. This allows you to pose two figures side-by-side thanks to the inter-connecting bases. Each character comes in two variants, with eyes wide open (Normal Version) or with their eyes closed (Oyasumi Version). Of course, with the linking-bases you are free to pair up your favorite characters together like Madoka and Homura, Kyouko and Sayaka and Mami and, well, Mami. Yes, the same characters can link together to each other owing to Banpresto cleverly making two versions of the same character with only minor differences in an attempts to separate you from your hard-earned Yen. 

Nevertheless, I am still really excited about this announcement and readily welcome any new figures from the series. Also, since it is an arcade figure, prices ought to be very reasonable too. With just three month on the clock, I am really looking forward to this one. Until then, thank you so much for reading and have yourself a wonderful day ahead!
