Shugo Chara! 160mm Mini Figures
Shugo Chara! 160mm Mini Figures

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!

Mini figures are good in a way.  They take up less room and you can display more.  As long as they aren't too small that they lose detail.

Dunno if this is off topic, but I was wondering if you have any thoughts on how anime mini figures cross over with the urban vinyl crowd?  You know like on www.kidrobot.com?

The only figurines I (and will likely ever) own are Future Boy Conan one's given to me as a gift when I lived in Japan. Though they are still in a box since I've moved around so much since returning to the States. :(

I like the mini figures. Some of them are very well detailed for the size and the price.

ethan: I think it varies. Rob at Topless Robot covers a lot of different toys, and a few of them are anime...whereas Tomopop is mostly anime figures (and related), and a few non-anime.
