MOVIC is going to re-release the Saber Alter ( セイバーオルタ ) 1/8 PVC figure from the eroge/anime “Fate/stay night” ( フェイト/ステイナイト ) published by Type-Moon. Will be re-released in March 2011. Around 200mm tall, 7,429 yen.
You can order her here
Yeah, the popular Saber Alter is finally being announced! But I’m a little bit dissappointed by MOVIC that they jacked up the price by 1,000 yen. =(

——Description from Manufacturer—— The jet-black armored Saber is back again! Movic is bringing the popular Saber Alter figure first released in 2008 back on sale. It’s a figure of one of Toda Satoshi’s popular garage kits, but with a larger scale and more detail than the original kit. The figure comes with two different heads to choose from – one wearing a mask and one without, you can pick whichever you prefer! You can also place her together with the new ‘Sakura Matou ~Makiri’s Grail~’ figure from Gift, as the stands interconnect with each other! |

Love the glossy armor but hate the face Dx. If I end up buying her I’d keep her visor on FOREVAAAA.
Seriously, something’s up with that face. Especially the mouth. Even with the visor on it looks…so awkward. There’s better Saber Alter figures done by other companies; I say skip on this one.
Really? She’s supposed to look creepy/scary, so I think it fits her.
I think the WF special one has a prettier face, but I don’t really think it suits her as much since it looks too nice.
I guess you haven’t start to collect figure in 2008. It was one of most wanted figure back then.
Just like you, everyone hated about her face and skipped her back in 2008 (I was one of them). But you never know, a lot of people regretted and tried to buy her afterward but it was too late. =(
You really don’t want to know how much she cost on ebay afterward. (^^,;
Nor Yahoo Auction Japan. It was easily going over Y20,000 which meant over $200.
I know that a lot of people hated her face before, but it’s really weird how people later changed their mind and it became a really wanted figure. I think people really wanted to put this next to the Gift Saber after it came out since they look nice together (and now Lily is also being released by Gift!).
Price raise is kind of annoying, but better than spending over $200 lol.
as a new collector, this is a great treat for me ^_^
pre-ordered her with Gift’s Sakura.
And don’t forget you can always hide the creepy eyes with the mask :p
