Let's start with the two versions of Saber. I really like her armor with all the details. Also her sword is similar to the one she wields in the anime. Next her hair is also impressive since her characteristic hair with the blue bow-tie is very carefully sculpted. Next we have Sakura, she's also very alike the anime just her hair looks a bit weird in my opinion. It looks too thick and makes her head look kind of large in comparison to Saber's. Rider is shown in a realistic, dynamic pose. Her outfit is accurate and her hair is very impressive like in the anime.

Q U A L I T Y

All the figures are very well sculpted and painted. This is seen as you look at the right Saber, her hair is really flowing the wind. Also their faces and eyes are well painted. They do have seams in their hair, but overall it doesn't draw to much attention. I can't help but think Sakura's painting looks less detailed than the painting of the other figures. This due to the basic/ flat colours used in her clothes.

The figures were very hard to built up. The support beams were hard to get in the ground plate or the figure. But this may be due to the fact that I opened all boxes at once, and got all beams and plates mixed by accident. They probably fit a lot better when you use the correct support beam with the right figure. Also Saber's legs tend to come loose together with Saber's armored skirt. (as you can see at the fourth photo below the review)

The figures themselves were in one piece but there were several additional pieces like the weapons and the ground plates.
