While the extended four-city MadoGatari exhibit tour, celebrating the 40th anniversary of anime studio SHAFT, wrapped up early last month, the girls from Shaft's two post popular anime have evidently remained friends. Monogatari's Hitagi Senjōgahara and Madoka Magica's Madoka Kaname swap outfits for a pair of interlocking prize figures.

Exhibited at recent Prize Fair 44, the two from Banpresto will be Banpresto Crane King machines at amusement facilities from the second week of October through December. In addition to the standard covered version, there will be a sepia variant.
