If someone tells me that it's wrong to hope, I'll tell them they're wrong every time - Madoka Kaname
If you are looking for a show that will definitely defy your expectations look no further than Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The highly-acclaimed series debuted in 2011 and left no one indifferent. For the sake of those who did not watch the show, we won’t go into details, but we will just say you will be pleasantly surprised.
The series was produced by Shaft and Aniplex with the story by Gen Urobuchi and original character designs by Ume Aoki. Madoka Magica was directed by Akiyuki Shinbo who created one unique series filled with hope, despair, and friendship in a world of magical girls, who soon realize that anguish and peril come with their newfound powers. Now let us show you some really magical figures that the show has produced!
5. Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Good Smile Company Homura Akemi Movie Ver. Figure
And we are off with the figure of Homura Akemi that comes to us from the Good Smile Company. This Homura figure was released in September 2016 and it is based on the key visual of Homura for Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Movie, drawn by none other than the series character designer Aoki Ume. Wearing her magic uniform, Homura lunges forward with her hair waving in the wind. This figure was sculpted by Amato. The 19 cm (7.41 inches) tall figure is made from ABS and PVC. This 1/8 scale figure can be yours for only about 7,660 yen (~68 US dollars).
4. Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Good Smile Company Ultimate Madoka Figure
Next on our list we have another figure from the Good Smile Company. This time though, we are showing you the figure of Madoka Kaname in her Ultimate Madoka form from the anime’s finale! The sculptor Hiroshi did an outstanding job with the figure if we say so ourselves. From her long flowing hair to the universe in her dress and the budding flower bow, everything was masterfully sculpted and makes the figure look like it jumped straight from the show into the real world! Her stand shows the magical symbol that appeared every time she fired one of her arrows. This 1/8 scale, 33 cm (12.87 inches) tall figure, made from PVC and ABS was released in December 2012. Get this amazing figure for 19,895 yen (~179 US dollars).
3. Puella Magi Madoka Magica Aniplex Devil Homura Figure

Released in July 2016 for the Wonder Festival 2016 (Summer) this figure of Devil Homura, based on the original illustration used at Comic Market 85 comes to take a central place in your collection. Miyajima Katsuyoshi sculpted this figure which shows Homura in mid-air supported by her feathery dress. Everything about this 1/8 scale, PVC Homura figure just screams high quality! Her feathery dress, her wings, stockings, face are all just beautiful and well done! The whole figure is a remarkable sight to behold. Homura comes with an alternate face and hand attachment and her wings need to be assembled from 3 different parts. This 26.5 cm (10.34 inches) tall figure can be yours for around 21,000 yen (~189 US dollars).
