Nendoroid Saber: Super Moveable Edition

Saku — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 12:20:04 +0000

Being away from home for three weeks, I am really behind with figures pre-orders and releases. I went through Hobby Search site for pre-order list and found this Saber nendoroid for pre-order for 3,810 yen. It’s slightly more expensive than normal nendoroid but it’s Saber ^^.

This nendoroid has an interesting base and stand. The stand is similar to what is used in figma and I guess that’s what makes it slightly more expensive than other nendoroids.

This nendoroid includes three types of face and one of them is the tantrum face. It made chuckle a bit when I saw this and her eyes remind of the face of Saber Lion nendoroid.

In addition, the packaging also includes her sword Excalibur, Caliburn and “Invisible Air” version so there are quite a few parts to play around with.

Another face that comes with the packaging is a smiley face as seen above.

Above is the angry face that also comes with the packaging.

Not only that you will get Excalibur and Caliburn, you will also get her Scabbard (Noble Phantasm : Avalon).

From what I can see that the price seems to be justified with the amount parts you got and not mention the figma-stand alike so you can have her doing a lot of poses. She is available for pre-order from Hobby Search, HLJ, Play-asia, Toylet, Jlist.

Saber -Triumphant Excalibur- And Asakura Nemu

Saku — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:16:19 +0000

I preordered Saber -Triumphant Excalibur- back in January when it’s just started for 8,867 yen ,however, since HobbySearch is having a sale right now, the price actually goes down by 934 yen which is pretty nice so I pre-ordered another one and canceled my previous pre-order ^^.

The first thing about this figure that captivated my eyes was her pose and as you may have noticed, this is her pose as she is about to release Excalibur (エクスカリバ) : Sword of Promised Victory (約束された勝利の剣) which is one of her Noble Phantasm.

She was given 2 swords in this figure released. Her other sword represents her invisible sword since the sword is clear (you can see through it) and it represents her sorcery: Invisible Air (インビジブル・エア) : Barrier of the Wind King (風王結界).

I like how her battle dress/armor was sculptured as if a gust of wind blows her

I approved her face ^^

The base is quite nice but I feel that the Fate Stay / Night logo is unnecessary. It looks great with all that burn marks even without the logo.

It’s currently on sale on Hobby Search for 7,993 yen so pre-order it while you can ^^.

My other preorder is Asakura Nemu 1/8 by Circus. I never have a figure by Circus. Does anyone know their quality ? From the photos, she looks great and her face is pretty close to what the original is. Not to mention, she is my favourite character from Da Capo (pffttt Kotori ;p) . It was an instant buy for me since I saw her at Wonfes 2010. She is just one of those figures that I MUST get.

For me, dynamic pose of a figure easily captivates my eyes. Her pose may not be as good as Saber -Triumphant Excalibur-, however, as a school girl, her pose looks perfect.

Ohhhhh, she is castoff able. Too bad she only wears a plain bra/pantsu ^^:;.

Looking her back, her body seems too slim/thin or is it just my imagination ?

She is currently also on sale at Hobby Search for 7,480 yen. The price tag may seem little bit expensive but I rarely see any D.C. figures so I think it’s well worth it.

Does anyone have these figures pre-ordered ? I am really excited about this Asakura Nemu figure.

Somewhat bored and couldn’t sleep so I thought I would post something but then I didn’t really have a topic in mind. I am sure you guys wouldn’t mind some treats with Tohsaka Rin gallery to get through up coming final exams. Hopefully the gallery may relieve some stress from school/work ^^ and good luck with your exams everyone ^^.

Don’t forget to check my previous Saber’s gallery where I believe that I sent GNdynames to heaven ^^. More pictures below and they can be NSFW so proceed with your own risk.

Thanks to a DC member for sharing this pool of nice images of Saber at Moe Imouto. All original size of images can be found here. More Saber after the cut ^^.

My favourite is a tie between this one and this one. What’s your favorite (s) ? ^^.

Saber Holiday Ver. 1/6 PVC by GSC

Saku — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:20:42 +0000

Gattai!!!!!

Another Saber figure is added to my Fate series figures collection and this time is the Saber Holiday version by Good Smile Company. Unlike other 1/8 figures that I have, this one is 1/6 scale (Yes James, I do buy 1/6 figures occasionally ^^). It was released back in October 2006 for 6,476 Yen ($59.00 US) so it’s quite an old figure and I couldn’t remember where I got this from ^^;

The background colour works really well with her brown dress and base colour. I made them slightly darker than usual and the results still came up pretty well I think.

Saber refuses to wear her skirt.

She is blushing ^^

Pretty standard base

Is it just me or all figures wear white pantsu only ? I haven’t seen figures with a non-white pantsu ^^;;

Slight imperfection on her side legs as you can see the lines

“Hmmmm , should I put my skirt?”

Show time is over. Her skirt is back on ^^;

Details on her clothes

Pink coloured nails ^^

My failed attempt to peak XD

The overall quality for this figure is high as one can expect from Good Smile Company with some minor imperfection on the PVC itself. I like the frilly part of her dress and her cute pose. Painting is nicely done and love how she is blushing ^^.
