Goods: Magi – The Labyrinth of Magic PVC figures Sinbad, Aladdin, Ali Baba

Magi

No, no, no… of course this is -NOT- the real reason I collect anime male figures XD

MagiThis character is Sindibaad/Sinbad from Magi マギ Magic of Labyrinth, based on a manga by Ootaka Shinobu 大高 忍 which is hugely popular with fujoshi/BL fangirls in Japan. There are 11 volumes and it is still on-going. In fact, character setting of one of the title characters, Aladdin was initially a girl but they finally decided to make him a cute boy instead. So that was probably the right decision :P

Bandai understands how big the fujoshi market is and they seem to be pulling all the stops to satisfy this fan base :P including making Sinbad’s (naked) bedsheet and the exhibitionist Chibi-Arts figure lol~

Quick Summary (edited from AnimeNewsNetwork)
Fourteen years ago many tall towers mysteriously appeared in a fantastical world set during the Middle Ages. Anyone who can conquer a tower, commonly referred to as a “Dungeon” will become very powerful and wealthy.

Ali Baba is a teenager who works for merchants for a living. He dreams of conquering a lot of Dungeons and becoming a very rich person. One day, he crosses paths with a strange young boy named Aladdin who carries a mystical flute with supernatural powers. Ali Baba and Aladdin agree to travel to their first Dungeon together.

Main cast:
Ishihara Kaori as Aladdin
Kaji Yuki as Alibaba Saluja
Tomatsu Haruka as Morgiana

Five of the main boys. Feels like Kiseki no Sedai colour scheme lol~ From left: Aladdin (blue), Ali Baba (yellow), Ja’far (green), Sinbad (purple/dark blue) and Masrur (red).

According to fan-reactions, it seems that the anime is not faithful to the manga. I guess it doesn’t matter to me since I’ve not read it. However, I would say the anime is pretty entertaining and cute so far :D I’m going to keep watching at least until Sinbad (c.v. OnoD) and Ja’far (c.v. Sakupyon) show up lol~

  1. i following both anime and manga. the anime indeed is quite different, but i don’t mind.
    ofcours, this is because im not really into magi, i like it, but thats about it.
    generally, i really dislike it if the go way different, but in this case i find it entertaining.

    i didn’t know that aladdin was indeed officially a girl. i had my suspicions, cos of the wrapped chest. again, i dont mind what gender aladdin is.

    i’m an alibaba fan btw *-*
    followd by sinbad :P

    1. @Shirokaze: icic… did Aladdin grow oppai and turn out to be a girl in the manga lol? Cos if I’m not wrong, they decided to make the character male. I think he is cute both as a girl/boy :D

      And Ali Baba is voiced by Kaji Yuuki <3 Can't wait to see Sinbad being the pervy self? When does he appear anyway?

    2. @pony
      omg, no lol. aladdin is still a child in the manga. i only said what i did cos of your post:
      “Aladdin was initially a girl but they changed him into a cute boy instead.”

      and well, since the anime is so different, i can’t really say when they are going to show sinbad. but there’s still a long way to go. when you see morgana + aladdin reunite, after that it’s sinbad’s part.
