Nendoroid of Kagami and Konata from Lucky Star cosplayed as Saber and Rin from Fate/Stay Night. Now, if you haven't watched Lucky Star, you probably won't recognize them as Kagami and Konata... But if you have, the features are striking.

I wasn't that big of a fan of the nendoroid series, but I'll mark this down in my "must have" list.

Just received my copy of Fate/Stay Night Réalta Nua for the PS2 by mail today. Since it's the "extra edition", plus it was "pre-ordered"(I got it on yahoo auctions japan actually), it also comes with the PSP card game, and the Saber bust figure.

The game is basically a port of the PC version(the visual novel) with some extra scenes and full voice. But since I never bought the PC version, thought this might be my chance to "own" Fate/Stay Night.

The PSP game is actually a mini game included with Fate/Hollow Ataraxia on the PC, this time it comes as a separate game, though I'm yet to see anywhere to sell it independently by itself, so you would have to get the PS2 game too if you want it. If I recall from the PC version, the card game is actually pretty complex, in some way resembles Mahjong, where you have to form your hand to a certain pattern in order to win. It's actually pretty fun, if only I can get a PSP somewhere to try it out(that's right, I don't have a PSP, yet I have a PSP game in my hands)....

The bust figure is pretty neat. It's Saber shaped like a chalice. It's one of the figures out of a set of five, and to tell you the truth, I already have the other four, plus an extra Saber.

There are actually two versions to the figures, the campaign version and the capsule version. The campaign versions are ones that was included with certain magazines, and in this case, the Saber figure was included with the PS2 game. The capsule versions are ones where you can purchase from toy vending machines, or gashapon. Other than the fact that dark Saber(she's the evil Saber who only appeared in the game) does not have a campaign version, the other differences are mostly color variations, like the weapons on the capsule versions have blood stains, whereas the campaign versions are squeaky clean. A few major differences include the color of the shoulder armors(?) on the Saber figure, Ilya's hat(the campaign version has her hat glued to her head), and Rider's mask(the capsule version has no mask). Both the campaign version and the capsule version are limited editions. Other than my blue Saber, all my other ones are the capsule versions.

Considering that they(the capsules) were sold for 300 yen each, I'm really surprised by the quality of these little figures. Though you can't compare them to those $50 1:6 figures, they are still fairly detailed and well made. There is no deformed face or anything like that.

Now since I have one extra Saber, if anyone wants the white Saber(I'm keeping the blue one), drop me a message, or send me an email, I'll put it on ebay and you can have it for 5 bucks(that's less than how much I got it for), postage extra.

I have negelected this series for quite a while... mostly because I didn't have the time to watch it...

It's the ending(no way I'll miss that)! They chose Saber's ending for the TV series, and what a great ending it is! My favorite of them all.

BIG FAT SPOILER WARNING!

Captured a couple of pictures(mostly saber's) from the two Fate games for another forum. Thought they are really nice, so I put them up here as well(I might put up a couple more, if I get really bored...). Check them out in the image galleries section .

They are all 800x600 in resolution, so if you wanna make it to a nice big 1280x1024 wallpaper, you need to do quite a bit of photoshopping...

EDIT: I was really bored...

Here is another nice Saber figure from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, and there is no chance in hell you'll see this in the Fate/Stay Night anime...

Really shows the other side of Saber.

You can pre-order it from Amazon.co.jp for ¥5656 big ones

P.S. You can find the rest of her pics in the gallery, and if you really like her a lot, make an animation of her spinning around.

EDIT: I took out a lot of her pics in the gallery, cuz most of them are really repetitive...
