Wow this Saber is so… WOW!! She is gorgeous, and the price tag is really lovely. But yea, she is Hobby Channel exclusive and you have to pre-order her before November 10, 2009. Yea, I know we all hate Hobby Japan and Dengeki exclusive. =(

At least it’s site exclusive, and not magazine mail-in, making this much easier to order.
I’m seriously considering saving up for her.
I don’t know, the face just looks a bit off to me, a problem i find with a lot of Saber figures 🙁 The body and clothes looks lovely tho, especially all the frills. Does the chibi come with, or did you just randomly add that in?
Oh yeah, I forgot to say, the chibi comes with this Saber Alter.
Ah frick, now I have to get it 🙁
I think I see what you’re talking about in both pics 1 and 2. I looks like it’s either the shape of the eye or something about the curve of the cheekbone.
I’ve never used Hobby Channels website.. Would it be best to use a proxy service?
If so, anyone have a reliable favorite?
hurry hurry

10,800 yen + shipping! So $$$. X(
Well, maybe it’s still cheaper than proxy service. Have you buy stuff from this store before Fabienne?
With Goody Japan it’s 9,200 yen before shipping, assuming it is as I recall, 8,000 yen base, with shipping and tax already included, within Japan.
Have you bought anything from the before? How do you buy from Goody Japan? I can’t see anything if I’m not registered, and I don’t want to pay 100yen just to register. =P
