Kotobukiya Saber
Published on June 22nd, 2009.
Another figure post =D . Okay, this is one of my earlier acquired figures and its rather old too being first released all the way back in 2005.
This figure by Kotobukiya is Saber(セイバー) from the visual novel Fate/Stay Night(フェイト/ステイナイト) which has a popular anime adaptation. She is produced to a 1/8 scale here.
I remember getting this from eBay since its was already out of production at that time and not many shops carry stock anymore.
Here is the box of the figure itself. There was a time when figure boxes used to be really SMALL compared to the ones released now. Nowadays, they seem to keep getting bigger and bigger. At least for the ones that I'm getting ^^;
She comes with a blue coloured base which is not shown here.
(Note: The pictures here have some lighting issues since I took them quite some time ago.)
Quality is around average I must say. This is among Kotobukiya's earlier figures and some find that their older figures have the skin colour painted in a glossy tone. The quality of their newer released figures are better.
The one that I received did not come with any paint defects or bad paint jobs. The sword is rather detailed as you see here.
I must say that you can't really complain about the quality of the figure since its price is reasonable comapared to figures nowadays. It had a retail price of 3480 yen when it was launched and not many figures nowadays are sold at that price anymore. Then again, the low price does not mean that this is one figure with crappy quality ^^;

This was one of my first figures as well. I see what you mean about the skin tone, the Kotobukiya Saber Holiday Version that I also have does seem to be higher quality.
