This lovely new figure from Good Smile is the full sized and scaled version of their previous limited edition Figma Saber Lily that came bundled with the PS2 game Fate/Unlimited Codes.
Fans of Saber should be elated, as this seems to be an unparalleled figure of her likeness, perhaps only challenged by the also unreleased Saber figure from Gift later this month.

This classic image of Fate’s 遠坂 凛 / Rin Tohsaka below gets a mysterious bikini removal of the type we are by now quite familiar with. For whatever reasons Fate is an unpopular choice for this kind of Photoshop work, so it looks as if we will not be seeing more.
Seemingly, it takes a tsundere character to really inspire nude filterers…

Doujin soft (or homebrew as we might say) Nintendo DS fan ports of both danmaku shooter Touhou and classic visual novel Fate/stay night have emerged, in both cases in English. Fans of such may wish to check them out:

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.

In this amusing stop-motion video we are treated to the spectacle of a dancing, nipple-pinching, onanist Archer figure, a bukkake session involving Nendoroid Hatsune Miku, and a tube of condensed milk.

If you happen to be fan of Saber, of Fate/stay night, or simply an appreciator of great craftsmanship, you might be interested to see these rather high quality life-sized doll renditions of her (154cm in height, but her three sizes are classified), with just about every detail intact (possibly excluding certain crucial anatomical aspects we need not dwell upon).

The practice of adapting visual novels into anime has a long and illustrious history, so it’s interesting to see from this ranking just which have accrued most success, if we can equate DVD sales with success (which may be quite reasonable).
Number one should come as no surprise, though it looks as if it will not be in the top slot for much longer…

I am a devoted fan of this illustration, so seeing the latest figure compelled me to post. No wonder Type Moon’s illustrations are so sought after. Also some more puchi nendoroid type images are provided…

Few would deny an original work by Type Moon’s top illustrator 武内崇 / Takashi Takeuchi, of Fate/stay night and Tsukihime fame, to be one capable of commanding a high price, and worth it, but a recent auction in which a single page from a sketchbook, featuring but one rather rough pencil illustration, certainly turned heads when the auction concluded at an impressive ¥456,000.

Via the erstwhile Akibablog. I couldn’t resist posting this Lion Saber figure to go with my previous comment on the striking cover of Fate Tiger Colosseum; as well as puchi Fate characters of all forms, there are a variety of figures photographed there which display careful attention to anatomical detail; pictures were taken at Wonder Festival 2008. Is there a version of Fate which will not be made into a figure?

If ever a game sold more copies on account of cover art than of any other factor, フェイト/タイガーころしあむ/Fate Tiger Colosseum for the PSP here is a contender. Great cover, even if it is lions rather than tigers. The reviews are not bad, but spending time with the core works is perhaps more advisable. Figure version here.
