Figma Saber Alter
This is the review of Figma Saber Alter.
The box...
Out of the box...
You will get all these stuff...
The Figma/figure....
The standard Figma plastic, extra hands, the sword (dark form of Excalibur), 1 extra face expression and 1 extra front hair part....
The usual spin...
I like that creepy mask.... or is it some sort of visor maybe? what ever... but sure looks cool...
The dark-hued armor with blood-red stripes is magnificent...
Unlike the Limited Edition Figma Saber Extra, the skirt of this Figma Saber Alter is move-able and have decent articulation to assist you when doing the action pose....
And thus the kneeling pose is not a problem at all....
This mask or eye cover or visor, what ever, is apparently was glued to this particular front hair part and thus it is fixed there.... unlike the one on Figma Rider...
The 2 face expression that comes with this Figma...
And now, action pose time....
Side by side with Figma Saber Armor Version....
Side by side with Figma Saber Armor Version and Figma Saber Extra....
Overall, for 2,667 yen (about SGD 42.00) this Figma is matched our expectation of beautiful finishing and excitement offered by Max Factory.
I've been waiting long time now for Max Factory to produce this Figma.
Kaiyodo released their "Revoltech 2G Saber Alter" in summer 2007 (retailed at 2,380 yen - about SGD 37.00).
It took a solid 3 years before Max Factory launched their "counter attack" for that item from Kaiyodo and personally for me, I think it's worth the wait.
The only complain I have for this Figma is that the hands for holding the sword is kind of "loose" when I attached it to the arm but I think this can be solved using the White Glue....
Saber Armor Version is the 2nd Figma to arrived in Shewsbury Land (the first were the 5 Figmas of Haruhi and gang) and ever since then, we love Figma Saber a lot.

Why nowdays action figures have a lot of gripping problems :( .
ReplyDeleteIMO figma saber extra have better face sculpt among the others.
Aya, I think that's normal issue with mass produced factory made items...
ReplyDeletePlus they have to adhere the "deadline" - so the Quality Control officer/manager might overlook several units out of the many thousands that he/she need to check...
But if the issue/problem happen to all Figma Saber Alter available in the market... then I guess something is wrong somewhere - most likely from the initial designing team...
Life is stranger than fiction... but even so, sex is just part of life...
Alter Saber got 2 swords? hmm... I must've missed it when I bought it.. Better check the box again.
ReplyDeleteFor the minute there I though that she comes with two Dark Excaliburs...
ReplyDelete@David yes I guess Quality control need more strict.
ReplyDelete@Syful only one included.
great articulation for saber
ReplyDeleteI got 2 pieces of "Dark Excalibur" swords from this Figma...
ReplyDeleteIs it possible that some mistake happen and the factory staff put 2 units into mine? LOL....
@David: WHAT~!? Bloody lucky you. >.<

ps. Two Dark Excaliburs = Pure win.
