They're milking every single penny they can out of this IP and they have every right to!

It is frustrating when they try and fail to create good stuff out of a really good work, but this is one of those genuinely cool gimmicks. I'm definitely going to try and purchase it.

Ya know what would be a really great way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Madoka Magica? Resolving that damn cliffhanger from the movie already!

Oh wait, those are commemorating the anniversary? The light is cool but they look incredible lame. The Soul Gem should look like a jewel and the Grief Seed should be intricate ironwork. Instead they look like... like low-end Precure toys. Which given the price and the features, it's kind of what they are.

Speaking of milking, they've barely re-released any Magia Record merch AFTER the anime aired.

P.S.: I just noticed they're made by Bandai. Yeah, they're pretty much Precure toys Laughing

I have an original sterling silver Soul Gem necklace I think it was $150.00 when they were released. It's amazing what they get fans of the show to buy. LOL!
