Good Smile Company is set to delight collectors with new statues of Ann Takamaki (Panther) and Makoto Niijima (Queen) from the popular JRPG Persona 5 Royal, with pre-orders now available for an anticipated September release.
Fans of the Japanese role-playing game Persona 5 Royal can now pre-order these affordable figures from Good Smile Company. The new additions to the Pop Up Parade line feature Ann Takamaki, known as Panther, and Makoto Niijima, who goes by the codename Queen.
Each plastic collectible from the Pop Up Parade series is priced at 9,800 Japanese Yen, which is approximately 4,971 Russian Rubles. The Panther statue stands at 22.5 cm tall, while the Queen statue measures 22 cm.
The release of these statues is currently scheduled for September 2026.
Despite her “femme fatale” persona in the Metaverse, Ann Takamaki is, in reality, a kind, compassionate, and occasionally naive girl who deeply cherishes her friends, especially her best friend Shiho Suzui. Ann finds it challenging to be deceptive or conceal her emotions, a contrast to Makoto’s more composed demeanor.
Makoto Niijima is a pragmatist, consistently seeking logical solutions, which sets her apart from the emotional Ann and the impulsive Ryuji. She is highly disciplined and expects similar standards from others, which initially can make her seem intimidating. Despite her formidable intellect, Makoto is somewhat unaccustomed to typical teenage pastimes. Her primary motivation is not personal glory, but rather the protection of the vulnerable.
