- It's another Saber figure for my collection
- There's going to be a Bandai Chogokin Gilgamesh (which I pre-ordered recently). If I buy Gilgamesh without Saber, then the king will be lonely. :p
It took me almost two weeks before I finally unboxed the figure because the day I got her, I also bought a Nendoroid Kamui Gakupo and a Wave Beach Queens Saber Lily figure, and they were the first ones I opened, played with, and took pictures of. I unboxed Bandai Chogokin Saber one late afternoon after work.
The King of Heroes is pleased |
I think she's a very beautiful figure in terms of the details, the base, and the articulations. ESPECIALLY the articulations. Chogokin Saber is a great action figure, and I think she's much better than the figma. Even the way this figure was painted is much better.
Some things I noticed about the figure:
- The stand/base is versatile. You can opt to remove the circle thing, and the splashing water prop is easily attachable to the base.
- She's heavier than a figma. Holding her made me feel nostalgic, like I was holding an old Bioman action figure from the 80s that was made of metal.
- The faceplates are a little derpy.
- The arms and hands feel a little flimsy, but they're surprisingly resilient.
- It is kind of difficult to remove and attach the hands.
Overall, I'm very happy with this figure because you can make her do a lot of poses. Here are some other pictures I took of her:
