Good Smile Fate/Stay Night: Saber Figma 2.0 Anime Action Figure Collectible - Perfect for Display, Cosplay & Anime Fans Collection

I'm not much of a fan of the "Fate" series, but what I AM a fan of are knights and knight inspired figures! I knew that there already was a Figma Saber figure before this one, but then again there's a reason that his one is called the "2.0".Appearance-Saber looks royally dignified, elegant, and awesome. The royal blue is bold just the way I like it, and has accents of gold here and there. I love the way the silver shines on the armor, and the decorations on her breast plate is quite nice too. Really nice sculpting and proportions as well. I also appreciate that she can be a bad-ass female warrior without having to subject to revealing 95% of her skin with just an armored bikini! Isn't that right...RED SONJA!?Articulation-From the head down, the articulation is standard for a Figma figure. However, because this is the "2.0", there have been a few improvements. When Saber does an ab crunch the breast plate moves out of the way on a ball joint, and can be moved back into place when in normal position. She has pop-out shoulders for further butterfly joint range, and her forearms are on swivels. The "bun" on her head can swivel back and forth, and her entire skirt can spread out. The skirt armor can move out separately.Accessories-Accessory count is minimal but essential. She comes with the main three pairs, (fists, open hands, grabbing hands), along with one left pointing hand and a pair of hands that are useful for her famous pose. On to the face, she has three faces, (neutral, embarrassed, and battle-face-looking-to -the-right), and separate wind swept hair bangs. She also comes with two swords, that both come with their own scabbards. They are known as Caliburn and Excalibur. Caliburn is more decorative and has a great amount of detail that I really love. Evidently, Saber doesn't use this sword for combat, as it is meant to represent her authority as king. The other sword, Excalibur, is the weapon she uses the most. It's not as fancy, but it does have some cryptic engravings on one side to keep it from looking too plain. It's still a pretty nice looking sword. When you have Saber holding the swords, make sure that they fit as snug as possible, ( without breaking them), so they don' flop around so loosely. By the way, her "Saber pose" works better with Caliburn, because Excalibur seems a bit too tall to pull it off. There is a deliberate dent in her hand that is meant for that type of display. That same hand can also be used to carry the sword by the scabbared. Despite that, I found it a little difficult to keep Excalibur from falling, therefore I used just a touch of sticky tack, (any kind will do), to fix the problem temporarily. Finally, Saber comes with an accessory bag for storage, and the standard Figma stand with extension attachment.Verdict-A+:I absolutely LOVE this figure! It might as well be my most favorite Figma figure ever! If you love the "Fate" series, like knight figures, or just want a good quality figure, treat yourself! She's awesome to look at, sturdy enough for playability, fun to pose, and has great quality all around. I highly recommend her for your collection.WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This figure is victimized by Chinese knock-offs. If you see this figure priced anywhere below at least $55 - $60, DON'T BUY IT!! Chinese knock-offs tend to sacrifice a lot of quality to sell it for a cheap price. If you want the authentic, Japanese, official, higher quality version, (which most likely you do), you're gonna have to pay up the big bucks!!I love this. This is a Figma 2.0 version of Saber - an upgrade over the previous Figma model. This has deeper more vibrant colours and should be the model a collector would purchase. Please note that this model is an "action figure" with articulate ball joints. The joints are not too obvious while allowing her to be posed in a range of rather aesthetic positions to highlight action or calmness.As with the other Figma 2.0 models, there are a number of things to be wary about:1- small parts for her hands and faces. If you've big hands, these parts are "very small".2- The torso joint has the least range of rotation while carrying the most torque potential. This means this joint breaks easiest and there is no good way to fix it so be careful.Also note that the shiny metal bits are metallic paint and not actual bits of metal. If you are fussy about quality, I would recommend the Bandai Tamashii model instead - it is about 50% more expensive but boasts upgraded parts. However, the Good Smile Figma 2.0 figure is of excellent quality and should place high on any collector's list.This is a really high quality figma, and that explains why it was priced so high when it was first released. The box I received from this seller was genuine, and had all parts included. She's small and feels more delicate than other figmas due to the size, but her vast accessories make her very fun to pose with. The joints are good, and the paint job was stellar. She's a leg up from the previous version (Saber 1.0). The package itself arrived on time and with good cushioning to protect the figma box. Overall, highly recommended if you're looking for a Saber figma.EL PRODUCTO LLEGÓ ROTOWas very excited to receive the figma, and it looks great. But there's a problem. The hold in the back is too small, so the peg won't fit. Really limits some of the posing.This appears to be an issue that can occur with figmas in general, so won't hold it against this one. There are various fixes online, so all's well.I've only begun collecting 15cm figure, and I must say, this is quite a surprise for me. Aside the fact the figure looks great overall, the joints are generally well hidden (only exception being the ones at elbow that stands out a bit more). Comes with a selection of 4 hand pose - for each hands, 3 faces (neutral, embarrassed, aggressive), 2 hair (normal and in motion), 2 swords (with their own scabbard), a transparent plastic base. Joints are smooth, easy to pose in.One of the best looking figures in my whole collection, easily. Spot on paint apps and great articulation make this a very solid figure. Not only are almost all the joints hidden, there are some you wouldn't expect at all. Saber's breastplate is even articulate to allow her more free movement in her arms and her skirts are two pieces on each side for the cloth and metal. The price had me on the fence for a long time but once I committed to getting it, it's proven to be worth the inflated cost.I wanted this the day I saw it was announced but had no money at the time. I recently got a bit obsessed with buying figurines and bought 2-3 and I'd been looking around for this one but it wasn't available on any UK sites! This was the last one on stock on here (at the time) so I just bought it without even thinking! The Fate series is my favourite anime series in general so I was pretty excited when it arrived! Packaging was good and of course it was the legit version of the figurine, really detailed and really good quality PVC and paint.thanks she"s excellent came earlier than i was expecting great detail to. five starsExtreme attention to detail, good possibility and amazing swords.Great figurine, for a Fate fan it's a must have. I'm very happy with it.Una gran calidad para su tamaño (15 cm), claro es una figura original y vale cada centavo. Es una figura que te da la opción de una gran cantidad de poses. Me encanto. En cuanto al envió, es lo normal al rededor de 2 meses ya que viene de japón y en envió por correo comercial; pero llego..
