Wow.

Just. Wow.

Move over ALTER’s Momohime. You have been dethroned (and rightfully so!) by Gift’s imperial Playable Saber—at least on my list of most enjoyed figures. Saber is so astonishingly detailed I don’t regret spending the extra bit of cash for a 1/8 size figure compared to other ones her size.

From ahoge-hairtip to iron boot toe, there’s literally not one ounce of wasted painted plastic. She bares striking similarity to the other another Saber of renown. Her hair is pleasantly neat and detailed and she even has her trademark extra-long ahoge. Her face is different from the official art, but I feel this works overall for this figure. I’ll get into this later.

Everything just screams “Look at me, and marvel at my beauty!” and I agree completely. Her velvety scarlet red dress is “flowy” and dramatically windswept while still adorned with militaristic garnishments, and she still prominently displays her large bust through it all. Her backside is very exposed and she’s not afraid to let people see!

The gold edges all over her clothes just increase her overall grandeur. They are meticulously detailed with intricate patterns and use different embroidery depending on where the gold trim is on the figure. I flipped out when I realized this.

Saber’s lower skirt is translucent white and she is certainly unabashed with letting people see what’s underneath; I had a blast taking different photos of this part. The translucent skirt is also gilded with detailed and embroidered patterns, and when it catches the light it looks dramatically different!

Her base has a mirrored surface on top and with the sun outside I was getting extra lighting just adding more to her complexity. I never had two of the same photograph. Of course from certain angles you can see right up her dress, and even her underwear has some embroidery on it.

This Saber is not quite exactly what the official art would dictate for Playable Saber, and honestly when I was ordering her I hesitated for this exact reason. I’m in love with the game Fate/Extra and when I first saw this figure I wasn’t too thrilled that despite how cool the figure looked overall the face didn’t match up. But after getting her, looking at her, having her in my hands and taking pictures of her, I am completely 100% A-OK with the creative liberties taken for this figure.

She is gorgeous, and just looking at her next to me makes me want to take her back out for some more photos! :]

Gift’s Saber Extra is an absolutely gorgeous figure and if you can get your hands on it I would highly recommend it She’s currently selling for 8480 Yen on AmiAmi and is worth every bit of it
