9800 Yen! Persona 5 Royal Dual Heroines Figure

GSC moved fast this time, playing two ace cards straight away. Japanese figure manufacturer Good Smile Company announced that its affordable figure series "POP UP PARADE" will launch two new "Persona 5 Royal" products—"Panther" Anne Takamaki and "Queen" Makoto Niijima. For Phantom Thieves fans, this is undoubtedly a major headline of the year.

This isn't just an individual release; it's a duo launch. This marks the first time the POP UP PARADE series has simultaneously released figures for two female Phantom Thieves from P5R. Anne Takamaki stands about 22.5cm tall, and Makoto Niijima about 22cm, creating a visual tension of confrontation yet cooperation when placed on a desk. The unit price is set at 9,800 JPY, approximately 423 CNY. Against the backdrop of generally rising figure prices, this pricing is remarkably sincere.

Treating collecting like a platformer game, every step requires precise judgment. Price is just the first level; time is the final BOSS. Pre-orders open today, with official shipping expected in September 2026. There's a waiting period of over two years from now, which is a test for impatient players. Although the craftsmanship for plastic painted completed figures is mature, long-term pre-orders also carry variables.

From a trend perspective, P5R's popularity has not faded with time; instead, it has stabilized due to the continued promotion of the Royal version. Such affordable series often appreciate in value after shipping, especially duo combinations. My advice is: if you can accept the long wait, this pair offers excellent value for money. After all, getting genuine GSC dual heroines for just over 400 CNY is hard to beat on the market. If you just want ready-to-play figures, perhaps the future price fluctuations in the secondary market are worth watching. The Phantom Thieves' appeal has never weakened; this pre-order will likely be in short supply. Prepare your wallets; the level of this collection game has begun.
