As a fan of the popular cute-but-not-too-cute magical girl series Shugo Chara!, I have long lamented that there aren't really any nice figures available for the series-- just a some mediocre trading figures, really, and maybe a few zipper charm/phone charm type things.
But here's a half-step in a better direction: these new mini-figures aren't amazing, and they're still mini-figures-- but even mini means about 6” (160mm). Not exactly a potential centerpiece for your collection, but probably still bigger than the trading figures-- and it comes as a pair, school uniform Amu and Amulet Clover. They're not due out until June, but with any luck that may mean we'll see it at some of the summer cons.
So, huzzah! Now give us Nendoroid Amu-chan. DO IT NOW!
