Review: Solid Theater Saber Alter

The last Saber of this week. Saber Alter comes with an alternative head which you can clearly see here. Well, the default head's eyes are scary, so to prevent us from getting nightmares, I'll be using this head all the way. The pose is no different from the rest of the Sabers, probably the reason is because they're made from the same sculptor.
Hair is in a bun shape again. Something is missing from here. Oh yeah, where's the atenna she always have?
Her armor's in a dark color scheme and those blood fines running through it. To simplified things, I would call her Evil Saber.
Buckle looks nice.
Not too bad here. Get to see her slim waist.
Ruffles are great. No translucent parts here though.
Dark Excalibur. Compared with the normal Excalibur and Caliburn, this one looks more plastic.
Big and heavy gauntlets. She's really in for the dark theme.
Again with the swing here. Can't they try something else?
Swing there. I have enough of this.
Awesome boots in gun metallic color. Those high heels are definitely a killer.
Small circular black base. Doesn't help much if it's a mirror anyway, she's wearing pants.
If you're looking to complete a set of Sabers from the same sculptor, you definitely should get her. I got no issues with characters in dark themes, but there's really nothing much for me to say here.

Review: Gift Saber Lily

Now I know why Saber Lily is so much preferred than the normal Saber. Basically the hair is the same, she didn't go for a haircut. This version of Saber doesn't come with an alternative head which I think she's good enough with her current one. One major thing I like about Saber Lily this time, there are more skin exposed.
Instead of tying it up as a big bun, she finally let down her hair.
Her armor's design appears to be sleeker. Her normal armor holds too much details and that much complexity makes her look so heavy. In comparison, her current one looks more elegant. I'm not sure how many folks like that pink and white color combination, but in my opinion, an all white would look better.
Even her gauntlets are simplified which I think is a plus point.
You don't get to see Saber putting her hand at her waist often. It sort of shows her confidence.
Yeah! This is what I'm talking about. Bare back sexiness. Bare thighs underneath, go get one to see. That sounds exactly like a poem.
I can never get enough of the translucent portions of her dress.
This is Caliburn. Slimmer in width, lighter in weight and more runewords which tells you it has more power.
Upskirt spotted again. This time there's something underneath. Swing here.
Swing there. Sounds familiar.
I suppose they know what's wrong with the normal Saber boots and this time they added some yummy details to her boots.
A round mirror base exactly like the other Saber. Again, I'm not gonna take out that protective film.
Everything I find as a flaw in Saber was corrected in Saber Lily. It's a great figure to get if you're a Saber fan. Personally I still think that she's being too wrapped up. Maybe we'll get to see more next time.

Review: Gift Saber

When a low class mage summons a high class babe, you'll get Saber. Voted one of the most popular anime character in armor, let's see what Gift has to offer. Saber comes with an interchangable head which I will be using throughout this review. The default head attached looks somehow weird to me, no offense but it really looks like a guy's face and I'm straight.
Her blond hair tied in a bun shape with her hair ribbon protruding out.
Seriously her armor is impressive. The layers and color scheme, not to mention that logo on her breastplate. The sculptor definitely took effort and time to deliver such a sophisticated design.
The shoulder guard and that small little shield attached to her arm. You will notice that Saber's build is small and straight from the neck down to the hip area. I know I said I'm straight from the start of this review, but for Saber's case, straight is a no-no.
Her amazing highly detailed gauntlet holding the tip of the sword with no special mechanism to it.
From her back, it's even more obvious that she's straight. That didn't sound too bad.
The Excalibur has a very nice design with rune words on it. As far as I remember, her sword didn't really showed up until a later part of the story. Luckily they didn't replace it with a transparent plastic piece otherwise I want my money back.
The embroideries on her dress are the killers. The translucent dress is the main highlight.
Upskirt spotted, but nothing underneath. Shucks. Swing here.
Swing there.
Nice boots. I do feel that a little extra can be added to the shin area.
A mirror base. It's not reflective in this picture because I haven't remove the protective firm on it. Probably I'll remove it when I found a place where it won't be scratched.
They could do something about her figure. I really meant her figure. Everything else is fantastic, I do wish she shows a little bit of skin instead of being so wrapped up but I guess the details make up for it.

Review: Kotobukiya Seena

Seena's got a sweet look with her short red hair. The cloak's quite well done with a cute little red ribbon on it.
Gotta hand it to Kotobukiya this time. The headgear has a small magnet underneath to keep it in place on her head. The details of the small feather look amazing on it.
A lily shaped fencing sword. Excellent color combination with white, gold and silver.
The texture of her outfit feels smooth and rubbery with a little combination of matt. A little disappointing to see that's she quite flat. I meant the color scheme.
One thing I like about her is the way she holds her scabbard, very naturally done.
The details of her belt with all the silver and a very short skirt.
Nothing fantastic about her back except for that very obvious buckle.
A rose decal on the side of her stocking.
Another rose decal on the other side. Her knees shading look nice.
Nice cheeks. Yeah, the panty's a giveaway for the day.
Something like a cow girl's boots with some fine line details.
Finally something different from the usual white base. A red base.
I must say Seena gave me more than what I expected from Kotobukiya. The colors and details are great plus the quality this time is really better than the rest of the Shining Wind figures I have.
