Before I get to my exciting MAMI post I am going to link you lovely readers to where I buy my nendoroids. Someone asked me but I took way too long to reply so here is the answer.
Hobby Search is my first choice of nendoroid shopping (the husband's too). You can earn points depending on what you buy. Shipping is generally reasonable and the prices are lowered for a preorder item. Website link: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/
AmiAmi is also a good website if you are looking for nendoroids. Not sure about their shipping prices though as the husband does most of the buy. Website link: http://www.amiami.com/
OKAY! Now it is time for Mami! my favorite character from this series despite her um...short time on screen. XD
Here she is! After many months of waiting she is finally here. Her hands, like Homura, are pretty firmly in place. But I was not impressed with the plug that connected to her back. Obviously you take these nendoroids apart a lot and I find it easier to just keep the plug in the back and take the stand off. This plug was not staying in place at all, even when the husband got involved. The only flaw I could find with this nendoroid but due to this flaw Mami took a header into the table when I moved her and now her hair has "character".
Close up of the ADORABLE hat. It is magnet and it fits perfectly on Mami's head if you put it on just right. Which means you really can't put it in different spots if you felt so inclined.
Close up view of the lovely treats. Mami comes with special hands already holding the treats. So no need to worry about them being dropped.
But Mami isn't all about sweets. She is also a veteran Magical Girl. Oh snap have I not probably introduced Mami yet?
Close up of the guns and their little stand. Mami is the oldest girl in the series Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. While many fans thought they were getting another magical girl show things quickly went from WEE girl power to...well end of the world. And Mami was part of the turning point.
Mami is a very powerful magical girl. And unlike most of the girls in this series BUT like most magical girls she actually labels her attacks. Because she is awesome and full of hope. Only one of the guns can be held though.
This pose was one of the most frustrating scenes I have tried to create out of all my nendoroids though. Maybe if the back plug worked better there would not have been anger. Mami has to be set as far back as possible for this to work and even then I couldn't get her hands to look like they were holding the gun. Maybe I am just special and the husband could have done a better job with staging.
Together we can save the world Madoka. Notice how I didn't ask Sayaka for help at all. BECAUSE NO ONE LIKES HER!
Here is a close up view of Mami's AWESOME hair. I appreciate cosplayers who take the time to make their hair as close as possible to the original. But with nendoroids everything is perfect yay!
Despite the fact that Mami has a huge gun in her set she still comes with something....a little extra.
Meet Charlotte! Everyone's favorite cake eating witch. Her time on screen was brief and she appeared to be an easy boss...but Mami's facial expression says it all doesn't it?
Mami happily joins the other Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica girls in my case. One of these days I will buy a huge glass case but this is what I have for now. My poor nendoroids, less and less space for them to have. But it will do for now. I hope everyone loves Mami as much as I do! And if not...well just don't love Sayaka. Whom will be on her way shortly.....
