Since it first finished airing two years ago, merchandise from the breakout magical girl hit Madoka Magica has continued to roll in with no signs of stopping soon. Of course, figures count towards a good portion of this number, with many figure companies offering their take on the five magical girls, covering everything from small trading figures to huge scaled models.

The last few months in particular have been dominated by GSC's and Max Factory's releases of Ultimate Madoka figures (a.k.a. Godoka or Madokami). Starting with the amazing 1/8 scaled figure back in December and following up with a Figma this past March, the current Godoka offerings are wrapping up (for now) with the release of this beautiful Nendoroid.
