Fate/stay night PVC Figure Saber Triumphant Excalibur

This is a review about a PVC figure of the anime character 'Saber' from the anime 'Fate/stay night'. Saber is one of the three main heroines of Fate/stay night and the Servant of Shirou Emiya in the Fifth Holy Grail War. She is also the Servant of Kiritsugu Emiya during the Fourth Holy Grail War and one of the main characters of Fate/Zero. Here she's shown in her armor while wielding her sword 'Excalibur'.

Her hair and ready-for-battle expression are recognizable for people who saw her in the anime. The thing that really gets me, is her armor. This is made out of some metal-looking material and gives more realism to the figure. Since she has an invisble sword in the anime they gave her a transparent sword here. I think it's a nice solution and the power swirls  around it, make it look really cool. Even so you can also give her the "non-transparant" version of her sword. This one looks perfectly like the one she wields in the anime. In my opinion it's a very nice figure, which carries all the features of Saber.

Q U A L I T Y
This figure has so much detail! When you look at the ground plate for example, you can see that the broken tiles are very realistically sculpted. Her dress and armor are so smooth, as are the vows in her clothes. Both versions of the sword are also very detailed and are even really sharp at the top. Her hair doesn't have any seams and is well sculpted. And all the painting on the figure is done perfectly. This figure is one of my most detailed figures.

We had to push quite a bit to get her foot fit in the iron stand. Even though it didn't cause us too much trouble.

The figure was in one piece with the two swords and the groundplate separate.
