Thanks Shingo for all the info. :)

No wonder I never saw that Nendoroid Saber Alter for sale in any online internationl webshop… :(

Guess I really have to consider a proxy service soon…

>>blacklotus The 1/10 Saber Alter is the original resin kit from Toda Satoshi that he based his revised sculpt for the 1/8 PVC on. She originally went on sale at World Hobby Festival Nagoya 6 along with the Sakura you see pictured in Baldulf's photo (both are resin kits); the original source for that image can be found on the sculptor's site here. No plans are known for the PVC conversion of the Rin at this point. The Nendoroid Saber Alter was produced by Goodsmile as a limited edition item for Wonder Festival Summer 2007 (more info here).

>>Baldulf

Any idea who manfactured the 1/10 figures? PVC or resin? Thanks.

>> Anyone who can help
Also it looks like Saber Alter will have Dark Sakura as a companion too, if I’m not mistaken from the photo. More Alter/Stay Night goodness. :)

Lastly, is that a Nendoroid/SD Dark Saber? And by who? I missed it completely. I didn’t know there was a dark version… :(

The Saber figure looks amazing.But I wish they have made the face more similar to the 1/10 kit.

I happen to have another pic of that kit,with a better view of the face.

Even so in Goodsmile are doing a superb job with this figure.

Man, I wish I was. If it were PVC it would’ve been a snap purchase, but as-is I can’t quite justify it in the budget.

Shingo will you be getting the Sonsaku Wet Hair cold cast that came out today?
I’ve been leaning towards it but would like to see a review before opening up my wallet.
