Figma Saber Lily – Ultimate Figma?

The new Saber Lily Figma, bundled with the special edition of the Fate/Unlimited Codes PS2 game, quite possibly serves as the finest example of Figma craftmanship to date.
Figma are poseable figures produced by Max Factory. Normally their low price (less than ¥ 2500) and the need for articulation prevents the figures from being too elaborate, either in detail or clothing choices.
The Lily Saber Figma retains the unsightly (to some) joints, but the rest of the figure is far more impressive than the norm for Figma, perhaps due to the limited-edition nature of the Lily Saber as compared to normal mass-produced Figma.
Without a doubt, Saber’s sword is the most impressive Figma accessory to date.
The detailing on the face is also beyond what is normally expected from a Figma product.
Saber comes with two different sets of faces and frontal hair pieces, the above photo shows both alternate pieces swapped in.
The removability of the face and hair necessitates this large seam, of course.

The SP edition of Fate/Unlimited Codes is pricey at upwards of ¥8,000. International customers can easily purchase one at Play Asia for an even more expensive $129.90, but be warned that there is only a Japan PS2 version being made, so proper modding would be required on foreign systems to play the game.
That is, of course, only a problem if you are buying the game to actually play it, instead of for the fine Saber Lily Figma bundled with it…

Yeh, got it pre-ordered before the price hike, 100 buck plus delivery, totally worth it.
I have it too, though I'd love to get one of Saber Alter or Leysritt. :3
I pre-ordered this on the first day Play-Asia started taking pre-orders. I received the box on Monday and was not disapointed. Normal Saber figma is awesome too but this one is even better. I hope the scaled PVC figure will be as nice.
Oh, and the game is good too if you like fighting games, which I do. I play it using a Swap Magic disk, normally used for pirate games but it's just as good for import.
i already see the pvc figure from good smile company and it's a must have for saber or type-moon lover ^^
Agh. My parents won't let me order the SP Box. ; w;
By the way, I might regret this later, but there's a seller on ebay who's selling it for $119.99 with free shipping. And they have two SP boxes up right now. Dx
Oh. Wow. So I'm allowed to get it now.
>w<!
Congrats.
wow the pose looks incredible wouldn't have thought of those pose >_<
I already have it and it's gorgeous ^_^ you won't regret buying this
I ordered the Limited Edition from Play-Asia and got it before Christmas. Unfortuantely, the left arm was not in the shoulder and the hole wasn't big enough to insert it. I had to rasp the joint and finally it fitted. Fortunately, the arm is now working without problems and I also have toy say the figure is really very detailed and wonderfully sculpted. The game is also good, by the way^^.
My goodness... I'm not really a fan of Saber, but I do like Figma's figurines especially Nanoha and Fate. But this Saber kick ass. Bah~~ If is ebay, perhaps is even more expansive than getting it from Play-Asia
....kinda wish they produced figmas of Ilya and Rider too.
Great. Not only do I already have regular Saber (and wish she was more posable), but to get this, I'm gonna have to import a vijya game that likely costs as much as three haruhi figs I plan on getting.
It's certainly on my "DO WANT!" list, but my limited money and its acessabilty will keep me from buying in the near future. Or I could knock over a 7-11 if I'm ever in Japan.
downloading game :x, so i want that figma too u.u
Me wans saber Lily
Where i can get the figure? At low cost of course :D
"Low cost" and "limited edition Figma" are two phrases not usually seen in the same sentence. Try the link in the article.
To EXpensive for me now...If ever theres still stock over the 50,000 sold product worldwide might get it when the budget is not as tight.
I have it and it is like the greatest addition to my collection :)
DO WANT!
Do want. Ultimate figma it is.
IS THERE AN WAY TO GET IT WITHOUT THE GAME?
There is a mistake in the article - it is the Figma which comes with an extra in the form of a game...
See it tha same way here
I guess it depends on which way you look at it...
ebay
the pics of this masterpiece have been wandering the tubes for around 2 months now...
The game was released less than 2 weeks ago and the Neko ni Koban review photos are among the first detailed photos of the figure taken by an end-consumer and not preview or publicity photos released by the companies involved in the sale of the figure/game.
As we had not shown any of the publicity images previously, this was a good opportunity to highlight this figure.
These were published yesterday, what is your point?
Jesus Christ do want!
Do want.. I don't even have a ps2.. sigh
Why are all the best Figmas special edition? There's the Gantz one, and black-haired Shana...
Damn, I am buying this. It would make an excellent addition to my Saber figure collection.
*grabs credit card*
ARMOR CLASS
The less it covers, the higher the defense rating.
Waiting for my copy to come in, assuming everything goes according to plan...
Not as cute as my konata figma, but id love to have one of these lol
Well, I really should get the Figma figure... I already have the game though... Got the ISO through other means.
awesome photography work there, wouldn't count on it being available on yesasia anytime soon though
