1/6 Saber Holiday ver.
I bought the 1/6 Saber Holiday ver. from GSC today. My will is so weak. Gao…
It’s a pretty good deal considering the printed retail price is ￥6,800 and I got it for S$75 (about ￥5,500). Still, can’t say that it didn’t hurt a little…
At 1/6 and standing nearly 30cm tall, this Saber is quite eye-catching and her smile makes my heart melt like PVC left under the sun for too long. Mmmmm… burnt plastic… Anyway, most of the stores seem to be selling this at S$90++. If not for the S$20 dollars discount I probably wouldn’t have bought it, at least not today. I probably would have succumbed eventually.
I’m not sure if it’s Saber’s smiling face tinted with a hint of red, her totally awesome ahoge or her frilly off-shoulder top, but there’s just something about her that’s done right. Hmmm… I am not experienced enough at this figurine business to say what exactly. Maybe it’s just my inner Saber fanboy influencing my perceptions. :3
Look! No hand!
hawt
And of course, no figurine review is complete without the obligatory pantsu shots, except possibly the male and non-human(oid) ones. But alas, Saber’s skirt is too tight to allow my camera to obtain a good shot… <_< >_> <_<

Fortunately, Saber—like all bishoujo figurines—is designed with a removable skirt. The companies know their customer base.

Now we know why she’s blushing
Saber’s supporting her weight mainly with her right foot and it looks kind of unstable. But fear not! The clever folks at GSC screwed her feet to the base (ouch) instead of using those lame plastic protrusion thingies.
Of course, since her legs are made of PVC, she might just start to lean more and more to her left as time goes on and tropical heat does nasty things to the plastic… But ithe legs do feel quite sturdy compared to PVC legs on 1/8 figurines, so hopefully everything will be just fine. Only Haruhi knows.
S$75 well(?)-spent. I think that’s all my figurine purchases for this month. At least, I hope it is. Of course since it’s only the first day of the month, unexpected things may happen and blood money will flow.
Saber is available from Amazon for ￥5,229.

She really looks cute…but for 75 dollars..??
What’s an “ahoge”? And isn’t PVC solid?

For a 1/6 standing at 30cm, $75 is really worth it. However, the face scuplt isn’t that accurate in my opinion.

I dunno. I’m so used to seeing Saber with an unsmiling face that a smiling one looks like someone totally different. Maybe if she was wearing her armor…

A smiling, non-armored Saber? Very cute… but very wrong, somehow.
cell21: Mine’s in the mail. How about yours? ;)
