My most anticipated figure this year has finally arrived! The Saber Motored Cuirassier is one hell of a figure! The details are just crazy specially Saber’s motorcycle. This is clearly one of the best figure releases of 2012. And I also just got Sonico (Tokonatsu Ver.) which also looks great! Can’t wait to review them!
wow congrats! ^_^ i’m still waiting for my cuirassier pre-order from GTO
Thanks Pivotdoji! This figure is one of the best in my opinion. I just cant take my eyes off her. I’ve been staring at the figure since it arrived earlier this afternoon… The figure is just really awesome!
I’m not a fan of TYPE-MOON’s art, so I’m not crazy about the Saber franchise, but I have to say that I’m pretty impressed with GSC’s QC for Saber Motored Cuirassier. Lately, GSC has been going slack with the quality of their figures – maybe because they’re chewing more than they can bite as collectors are inundated with their releases.
What’s your take with Gift’s Saber Extra? Now that one I like not only for the dynamic pose and costume but also for the more realistic and mature variation of her face.
I love all of the Saber figs by Gift! They redefined the overall art style of their Saber figures. The clothing is much more detailed with lots of engravings/patterns and they also made Saber a bit “human” like. If only I can track them all down because I really love the style they implemented on those figures. And yeah, they look awesome when you display them all together.
congrats on the loot…mine’s still in her box cause i don’t know where to put her…her “supposed to be” cab space is still taken by LIW miku…think i need to re organize my space…but don’t have the time because of work(to pay for this hobby) :D… only problem with her is the peg for the foot(the foot so hard to place when you have her on the bike, but no problem when she standing alone or maybe i just got it all wrong)..but overall she’s still awesome
Thanks zidy™! yeah, I also encountered problems when it comes to inserting her left foot on the peg. Took me some time before I figured it out because I’m worried I might break something (to think of that this figure is freaking expensive!). Just put a bit of pressure and make sure the peg is pointing at the hole on her left foot and you’re good! Congrats also on your Saber!
