There were plenty of surprise announcements during Anime Expo 2019, and one in particular should stand out for fans of bothPersona 5as well as figurine lovers in general (yes I’m well aware that’s a tons of overlap in the venn diagram of interests). Goro Akechi will be getting two new figures – a Nendoroid and a Figma:
The first, done by Max Factory, is fashioned after his incredibly stylish school uniform look. While the second figure is an adorable one with him donning his Phantom Thief outfit during his brief stunt with the group and beyond. Due to the Figma being in early concept phase and the Nendoroid still shown as an uncolored prototype, they have no official pages yet. However, it won’t take long before pre-orders are ready to go, judging from past products with the companies.
This isnât the only figurine news weâve gotten recently from Atlus. Wonder Festival 2019 Shanghai revealed some lovelyJoker and Noirfigurines in early June. Back in May JapanâsMega Hobby Expo 2019Â showcased some amazing beauties including from Good Smile, Max Factory, and Alter. In additional great news Amakuni announced that they would be crafting a figurine of the newest character fromÂPersona 5: Royal, Kasumi Yoshizawa.
Amakuni previously showed off their figurines ofÂAnn Takamaki,ÂFutaba Sakura, and Makoto Niijima, as well as a full-colorÂTae Takemi figurine. The manufacturer also debuted a prototype version of Makoto fromÂPersona 5: Dancing in Starlight.
Recently Atlus released brand new trailers showcasing the party’s dual attacks called Show Time,as well delvinginto new Persona characteristics, Baton Touch Rank and Technical Rank, and some of the new activities and shops. The first Show Time trailer starsYusuke and Ryuji, the second show off the pairAnne and Morgana, and the third one featuresYusuke and Anne.
We at DualShockers loveÂPersona 5 as much as its very talented and devoted fanbase, judging by ourÂglowing review of the title back in 2017. If you havenât gotten around to playing yet, you can purchaseÂPersona 5Âhere.
