Toda Satoshi’s (Yume no Kagutsuchino Koukoku) Solid Theater produced, Goodsmile disributed Saber Alter arrived at Goodsmile’s offices today, according to the official Goodsmile blog. It features the fanatical attention to detail at a remarkably small scale that made his Kazeko kit so popular (with me at least), and unless my eyes are broken this time as well I’d say she’ll be a very popular item (who can resist a kit that looks like a cross between Saber and Diablo?). With her in Goodsmile hands we can expect preorders up soon. In other news from Goodsmile, Needa, the Yamashita Shunya designed fourth entry to the Shuraki multimedia figure series, has a color prototype of her kit online as well – complete with 360° rotating video. I’m really digging the zettai ryouiki on this one… :3 (no more)
that shuraki is it? looks really nice. like the figure, design, and color chosen. nice lips too.
Needa is the fourth figure in the Shuraki series. The first one is here, the second one Mei is set to ship on the 19th of this month, Shall, the third, is still in production.
The saber alter is all shiny and the sculpt of the costume is outstandingly detailed, but I most dark saber figures I’ve seen have problems with the face. Right now, she looks like she has the head of a Claymore. :P
Needa is a must buy and no mistake (gladly I got my hands on the first figure of the series)
And the dark Saber is going to be my first Saber (can’t resist,just look at the flowing dress)
Now I need to figure where to get the money.
Must have Needa… name reminds me of Star Wars. Face is all worth it. Of all the revealed Shuraki figures though, it seems like the only one I don’t like is the very first.
Hey theres another devastator besides myself, thats pretty cool. Needa is a must get, just gotta hope I can get a pre order in before she sells out. If the price is right on Saber I just might have to get her as well. Hey shingo did you happen to get an order in on shuraki #2 Mei?

Agreed on the face; that tends to be Toda Satoshi’s biggest weakness as a sculptor, from past work I’ve seen of his. I don’t think it’s a killing blow in this case though as (to my knowledge) Saber Alter is exactly supposed to be “pretty”.

I’ll be keeping a close eye out for Needa preorders; if I recall correctly she’s expected to be “unsealed” at the end of this month.
>>devastator #2
It’s going to be confusing telling you apart! ^^;
I did get in an order for Mei, although I won’t be able to receive her until a week after she ships (budget problems…). My goal is to have a review up on the 26th.
I’ll use a capital “D” from now on ;)
Congrats on getting Mei. I’ll be looking forward to your review.
Don’t know about you guys/gals, but I have always preferred the Dark version of Saber. Definitely gonna be pre-ordering this one to add to my Dark Saber collection. :) Superb prototype.
Needa’s on my must-buy list, especially because that uniform comes off… don’t get too excited though: pics I’ve seen show bra and panties underneath… sexy and tasteful, but covering up the good parts!

Needa’s okay, but the Saber just ROCKS! I must get her, and she’ll be the best in my collection! ^___^
I LOVE the Saber…..she just looks kick ass!! Very freaky but beautiful. Needa, is just cute as hell!! Gonna have to watch my finances to see if I can afford her.
