A trio of Goodsmile-distributed figures from disparate makers were “unsealed” for preorder last night at midnight, and listings have since gone up at several shops around the internet. The first is the long-awaited Fate/stay night Saber from rookie Solid Theater splinter brand Gift. Sculpted with baroque intricacy by Toda Satoshi of Yume no Kagutsuchino Koukoku, the first lot release of the figure also comes with a limited edition exchangeable face part sculpted by Kuramoto Ikuma of Millimeter Modeling. The figure is scheduled for release in December at 1/8 scale (18 cm tall) and 7,800 yen retail.
The second newly available figure is this Saber Lion Nendoroid, from the Capcom PSP game Fate/tiger colosseum (sic). The sculpt is from Akemichi, and the figure is scheduled to retail in December at typical Nendoroid spec (10 cm tall, three exchangeable face parts and a variety of foods/weapons to feed the hungry Saber). Retail price is 3,000 yen.
Last but not least, preorders are now open for Lilics’ / Art Storm’s Yamashita Shunya Character Series Vol. 2, Nasuka. She’s also scheduled for December release, clocking in at 1/6 scale and 24 cm tall with a sculpt from PVC newcomer (?) Yamazaki Shigeru. Like Kanaru before her the series continues in a decidedly posterior-centric vein, and also like Kanaru she’s scheduled to retail at 7,800 yen.

been trying to resist getting nendoroids (cancelled my Melissa Seraphy), but it’s getting more and more difficult as these little buggers keep comin out lol. Saber’s kusun-okawari mode is too cute >_<
Err, which places have it up for preorder? I’m not a figure person, but that is WAY too cute to pass up.
And just to balance it I’ll have to order that Solid Theatre Saber too >_<
I really like the ‘anime face’ they are including in the Gift Saber by Toda. I couldn’t quite get my mind around the standard ‘human face’, but I love the rest of the figure and the second face makes it seriously tempting.
I’ve already preordered the Nasuka, it looks fantastic. I ordered Vol. 1 in the series too and I hope they keep with the stellar sculpts and can nail the final product versions.
love the saber….like the way the frills are sculpted.
I just me or does the standard face on the Gift Saber look a bit creepy.

Oh god that Nendoroid Saber is too cute. It’s just getting harder and harder to resist! Curse you GSC! Gift’s Saber, on the other hand is a definite must for me!
YAY!!! I’ve been wating for the Gift Saber for freaking EVER!! Sooooo happy she is coming out!! FINALLY!!! And the preview shots she looks as good as I hoped.
Thanx so much Shingo!!
Already have the Saber Gift and Nendoroid on preorder. The Gift Saber is way too gorgeous to not buy, and I love both faces.
The Nendoroid Saber is the first Fate figure to have proper faces, instead of scribbly only ones, so she was a must-buy! ^^
GAOOO GAOOOO!! completely charmed by this Saber Lion Nendoroid ^^
I’ve finally succumbed to the nendoroid invasion. Saber Lion is officially my 1st nendo pre-order. I guess I can start budgeting for the Ignis one too. 8)
lol, i guess the Saber nendoroid will also be my first nendoroid. I like the Saber Gift too. Most probably will get both. :)
Good to see you back Shingo =) Just made my Gift + Nendo Saber preorders over at P-A, would love to get Nasuka as well but that depends on how the budgeting pans out.
Hey Guys! What Do You Think about Alter´s Rei Ayanami?
I doný Know there Is Something I don´t like that I can´t decide if Buy it or Not lol…
