MegaHouse MMS Collection 1/8 Fate/Zero Lancer

I've had figure hauls from the past months but before I talk about them, I'd like to share my latest:  MegaHouse MMS Collection 1/8 Fate/Zero Lancer. I pre-ordered him a few months ago, and he got released last month. He arrived recently and I picked him up today. The pose might be a bit ordinary and blah (because honestly, it would be more interesting if he had a more dynamic pose), but for the avid Lancer (Diarmuid) fan, it's a yummy figure and worth displaying in your collection, especially if you want to complete the entire MegaHouse MMS Fate/Zero line, or you simply have a Lancer Shrine. :p 

Box of the Megahouse MMS Fate/Zero 1/8 Lancer

Lancer comes with another head and another left arm. The other head has a winking face and that dashing debonair smile of his, and the other arm is flexed. You can easily switch the head and the arms because they come off seamlessly from the body. Just be careful when pulling his head, because his hair is somewhat sharp at the back and you might feel a pricking sensation.

What's inside: There are three blister packs. the top one covers the second, which contains the figure, parts, and the spears. The third blister pack holds the base.

A command seal for Lancer is etched on the base.  

You can detach the pointy parts of the spears so you can insert them properly into his hands. I had to carefully twist the spears to make them go further down his hands and make him grip them properly, because simply pushing didn't accomplish what I wanted to happen.

The second head, left arm, and the spears, which I already took apart so I can  already make Lancer hold them.

Here's MegaHouse MMS Collection Fate/Zero Lancer. I really like his posture and I think it's really fitting for a chivalrous knight like him. 

I think fans would also love MegaHouse MMS Collection Fate/Zero 1/8 Lancer some more because of the details. As for the fangirls, you'll have some yummy things to ogle on this figure, such as the abs, the crotch, and the butt. Oh, and don't forget the muscles.

Here are more pictures of MegaHouse MMS Collection Fate/Zero Lancer with his winking face and flexed left arm.

My Most Anticipated Figures For 2013

I have quite a lot of Nendoroids and scale figures on my figure wishlist, but I only have two highly anticipated figures this year, and they are Megahouse M.M.S. Collection 1/8 Lancer and Megahouse M.M.S. Collection 1/8 Gilgamesh:

Megahouse M.M.S. Collection 1/8 Fate/Zero Lancer

Megahouse M.M.S. Collection 1/8 Fate/Zero Gilgamesh

So far, I've tried my best to curb my compulsive buying (i.e. staying away from more Sabers especially that GSC 1/7 Saber Triumphant Excalibur figure) to prepare myself for these two. Pre-orders for Megahouse M.M.S. Collection 1/8 Fate/Zero Rider and Waver Velvet figures are already available, and they come with hefty price tags. You probably have to be as rich as this guy to be able to afford every Fate/Zero figure in that M.M.S. Collection line:

And this is exactly how I feel every time I see a Fate/Zero figure that I like

I already have Lancer's prize figure by Banpresto from its DXF line, and I could say that Megahouse's figure is more detailed. This is my Banpresto DXF Fate/Zero Lancer:

It lacks the scrumptious abs but it kinda has a cute butt

Megahouse Lancer's face is also more pronounced and attractive than the prize figure, so if you don't mind not having Banpresto DXF Lancer, then I suggest waiting for the Megahouse version.

I just have one concern about Megahouse's Fate/Zero figures: the poses are quite boring. I'm sure other avid figure collectors and Fate/Zero fans also noticed this, too. Perhaps it's understandable if it's Gilgamesh, because let's face it, he just stands there in all his arrogant glory, makes weapons rain down from his Gate of Babylon, and he kind of lacks exciting fight scenes, but I was hoping for more dynamic or action-type pose for Lancer, because he looks more awesome when he's in action.

Still, I'm willing to go "shut-up and take my money!" on these two.

More Sabers for my collection :)

When pre-orders came out for Nendoroid Saber Zero, Nendoroid Hakase, and the re-released Nendoroid Saber Lion last year, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. It's a "shut up and take my money!" moment. I got them last Saturday with Nendoroid Hetare Saber limited edition and Banpresto Ichiban Kuji Kyun Chara Fate/Zero Berserker.
I haven't opened Nendoroid Saber Zero and Hakase yet. Probably when I have more time in my hands.

In the meantime, Berserker is now enjoying his time with his new friends:

Gilgamesh is like, "Oh hello, mongrel." And Berserker replies with "BWARHRAURHGLFH!"

And two of the new Sabers are busily ogling the doughnuts from J.Co.

No Saber was accidentally eaten after this photograph was taken.
