PSP Fate / EXTRA with Limited Edition Figma Saber Extra
This is the review for a very special limited item, PSP games of Fate/EXTRA bundled with Limited Edition Figma Saber Extra...
The box...
Some sort of magazine (in Japanese) with multimedia CD-ROM on it....
Ok, now let's take out those items inside the other box....
Out of the box... you will get all these...
First and foremost, the Figma Saber Extra....
And you will also get this Fate/Extra PSP game and a sketch book of Fate/Extra with the soundtrack CD...
I don't have any Sony PSP, so I can throw this away....
Anyway, it's in Japanese as this is actually at first for Japan exclusive release only but if you know some people or some online shop with influence... you might be able to get it with a premium price of course....
Did you see that on the above photo, on the bottom right of the box it is stated that "FOR JAPAN ONLY"
And now let's have a look at the "Fate/Extra" Visual Works.... some sort of sketch book...
You can see lovely stuff inside it....
And lastly this sound track CD..... all of the musics are instrumental and more into Jazz type.... I guess must be the music from the game.
Let's have a look at the lovely Figma Saber Extra....
You will get the figure....
The standard Figma plastic bag, extra hands, the sword, 1 extra front hair part, 1 extra face expression, the standard Figma stand with the special clip to hold the Figma/figure.
Let's look at the body....
As expected from Figma... the face of Saber is brilliant....
The detailing is simple and yet elegant....
Though I don't like that "see through" front skirt part... I hate it that the under pants of Saber is visible.... it might be sexy for some of you but I prefer it to be a just plain white color so that I don't see those under pants... this seems to be my only complain in this Figma but then again, that's how they designed it so I have to live with it....
No standard hole at the back.... all is nice and clean.... which is why they give you that clip to hold the Figma when you attached it to the standard Figma display stand....
The red and black colored sword of Saber Extra....
Articulation wise - for head, neck, shoulder, elbow, arms, hands and waist is basically the standard that you would expect from Figma. However, due to the special design of the dress for this one, the skirt part is not move-able and thus you can't really do the kneeling pose....
Though with some nice adjustment and balancing, you can still surely do some other action pose...
Side by side with Figma Saber Armor Version.
And now all the 3 Figma Saber available in Shewsbury Land..... Saber Alter, Saber Armor, Saber Extra... too bad we missed the brilliant white dress Saber Lily....
Overall, for 9,980 yen (about SGD 157.00) this item is quite pricey but if you consider the fact that it comes with PSP game and those extra magazine and sketch book and original sountrack - plus all of them comes with such a nice cover and packaging.... it seems to worth it, especially if you like Saber and even better if you also happen to have PSP and can play the game...
Most of the original PSP game usually retailed at around SGD 70.00 to SGD 80.00 like that? Am I right?
So if based on that, assuming that the PSP game bundled on this item is at around SGD 80.00 - the Figma (and all the accessories) will cost at around SGD 45.00, that means the remaining SGD 32.00 is to cover the price of that 2 CD and those extra freebies (magazine and sketch book).
By the way, that 9,980 yen is not including shipment charges yet.... so I guess if you want to hunt this item in E-Bay now.... be prepare to spent around above SGD 200.00 and some seller will surely ask for higher price than that... Good luck, if it's me, I won't buy it at such ridiculous price for sure.... there are plenty of other items that we can buy....
I can't comment on the PSP game it self as I don't have Sony PSP but I'm sure there are other site out there who can provide the review of the game.
UPDATE 8 AUGUST 2010 - My friend who also have the same item told me that the PSP game is locked for "Japan Region" only so she can't play the game. Unless if your PSP is meant for "Japan Region" or if you know how to "unlock" the Region thingy, you can't play the PSP game.
This item is certainly for hardcore fans of Fate/Stay Night and/or the character - Saber. This is really not something for everybody but even so, I believe that it would be nice if Max Factory can just release all these so-called "special limited items" for mass market so that many people can buy it at reasonable price....
But that's not gonna happen right? Sigh....

Wah!!!!!!! Saber Extra *_*!!! I want that Visual Books and stuffs *_*
ReplyDeleteI'm so envious!~!!!!!!
*explodes*
Cool :D , I like the CD design with blood mark on it.Unfortunately I don't have PSP :(
ReplyDeleteshe's very cool I might get one of her one day XD
ReplyDeleteThis saber is better than the dark saber. It is good that you got this toy. :)
ReplyDeleteI hate to be jealous but the truth...T_T
ReplyDeleteOne guy I know would probably screamed (as he is looking for this figure).
ReplyDeleteLOL at Tsuki. Yet another Saber fan.
Well... I know that there are many Saber fans out there - that explains the reasons why the following popular item exist:
ReplyDelete1/7 Saber Lily Avalon PVC (from GSC)
1/8 Saber Lily PVC (from Alter)
And then they have the Saber Alter PVC, Maid Version, Saber Zero, Holiday Version, those cute nendoroids and don't forget Kaiyodo Revoltech also produced 2 action figures for Saber, and maybe few others that exist in the market produced by various different companies.
Frankly speaking, if not because I get some nice discount on this special box set, I will not buy it - I like Saber but not to the level of willing to splash big amount of cash for her...
There are many other nice thing that we can buy out there rather than to spend too much on the so-called "special limited item" of some sort.
Panasonic LX3 is one of those nice item hahahaha...
Don't throw it away!!! >.< send it to me! I have a psp :D
ReplyDelete3 sabers, Holy Grail!(baaaad Pun)
ReplyDeletea very nice Saber
ReplyDeletebut i dont like her sword
Pricey... but it's great to have. If I've not sold my PSP, I'd like to try out the game. I've never played FSN game. I'm amazed that you have three saber figmas. COOL! In fact, I like Saber Lily a lot :)
ReplyDeleteSoftz, thanks for visiting, no big deal, I just have 3 - still missing the wonderful Saber Lily :-(
ReplyDeleteThe PSP game according to my friend is locked for Japan Region only :-(
Curses! Evil people >:(
ReplyDeleteBut can't we just set the PSP region to Japan? Not sure if that works, but it works for certain games on my computer...
Zhe, not sure, I don't have PSP.... but some fren told me they need to "hacked" the PSP in order to do that "Region Unlock" thingy... I don't know what ever that means...
ReplyDeleteOHHH I think what they mean is only a "hacked" psp (meaning we don't need to use the UMD, we can just download the ISO file and play it.) can do the region unlock thing =/ not too sure tho.
ReplyDeleteHmm... PSP is known to be region free since last time when I was involved in PSP games development. Unless you are talking about modded PSP. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG you scrapped the games? hahaha...
ReplyDeleteI believe it is the PSP OS version that stops the game. You need the latest OS to run certain games else it won't start.
ReplyDeleteBut man this is such a cute babe to own! Nice accessories come together with the game too! :D
*I love the transparent skirt part :D
