Akiba Blog posted a column today that introduces the first PVC figure from a new maker called “Gift”: a Toda Satoshi (Yume no Kagutsuchino Koukoku) sculpted Saber from Fate/stay night. Very little is known about the maker or the project at this point, but a previous column introducing the company gives us some clues: apparently Gift is a one-man operation started by someone going by the name of “Kanegon” who was formerly an employee of Solid Theater. As of March the entire company consisted of one desk, and he’s relying on connections with other makers to get things off the ground. Beyond this Saber prototype the company’s future activities are unknown, but the latest post reveals that Saber will be on sale in kit form at the Yume no Kagutsuchi no Koukoku booth at Hobby Complex Osaka on May 25th. We’ll be keeping an eye out for an official site launch from the fledgling maker, as well as future news regarding the PVC version of the Saber in question. Another column from Kanegon is expected to appear on Akiba Blog in two weeks’ time. (no more)

The sculpt promise to be awesome ! I hope we’ll get colored pictures soon !
Agreed- that is a killer model- looks fantastic- hope to see it in color soon.
Personally… I hope them the best. But I am currently sticking with two companies (Bandai and Max Factory), and looking at what others have to offer.
Kanegon, you’ll note, is the monster that must eat money to live, hence his name. He’s from an episode of Tsubaraya’s Ultra Q (the precursor to the Ultraman franchise). He’s also my friend’s favorite rubber-suited monster, but I like Kure Kure Takora better.
