Good Smile Company has prepared a gift for fans of the Japanese role-playing game Persona 5 Royal. It has opened pre-orders for budget statues of Ann Takamaki, also known as Panther, and Makoto Niijima, nicknamed Queen.
Each collectible item from the Pop Up Parade line, made of plastic, will cost 9,800 Japanese yen (4,971 rubles). Panther's height is 22.5 cm, Queen's is 22 cm.
The statues are expected to be released in September 2026.
Despite her "femme fatale" image in the Metaverse, in real life, Ann Takamaki is a kind, compassionate, and sometimes naive girl who cherishes her friends, especially her best friend Shiho Suzui. Ann doesn't know how to be cunning or hide her feelings like Makoto does.
Makoto Niijima is a pragmatist. Unlike the emotional Ann and the impulsive Ryuji, she always looks for logic. She is disciplined and demands the same from others, which initially makes them wary of her. Despite her high intelligence, Makoto is not well-versed in ordinary teenage entertainment. Her main motivation is not fame, but the protection of the weak.
