Reviwed by GGT
For those who don’t know, I’m a big Saber fan and I wanted to do this “Saber VS” review for a long time. Since we don’t have many figure news this week, I finally have time to set them up and do this review.
June 21, 2009: Article updated
These are the four Saber action figures that I have. They are (from left to right):
- Max Factory figma002 Saber Armor Ver. (2,667 yen)
- eb Craft Hyper Fate Collection Saber (7,800 yen)
- Kaiyodo Revoltech 2G Saber (2,380 yen)
- Good Smile Company Nendoroid 003 Lazy Saber (3,810 yen)
This is the Part 1 of this “Saber VS” review. Let’s look at the GSC Nendoroid Lazy Saber first. =]
Oops, I have to go now. I’m posting these photos first. I’ll come back tonight and finish the writing part. =P
4 Sabers by (left to right) Max Factory, eb Craft, Kaiyodo, GSC

This is one of the earliest Nendoroid from GSC. She didn’t come with many accessories. Back then the 4,000 yen price tag in the year of 2006 is really expensive for a figure like this (but it’s really not worth it IMO =P ). She isn’t as cute as the current Nendoroids, and her face isn’t exchangeable with others. But I LOVE HER! =D
Her head is REALLY heavy and the stand can’t hold her body weight at all. =/
Her arms can move back and fore, but other than that, there is not much you can do about them.
As “Observer Extraordinaire” said, she is surprisingly poseable.
In order to ride the lion, she need to change to another skirt.
“Here comes the Lazy Saber!” =D

GSC one ftw? Most worthwhile in terms of accessories.
Max Factory isn’t too bad…but the rest…
I shall not offend a Saber fan in his territory. I’ll just say wtf for the 7,800yen one.
Well the armor is quite nice on the expensive one, but the face is that terrible “realistic” style… >_<
For now, the best action figure in terms of face sculpt and articulations must be the max factory one.
But Gsc is just too cute.
The only matter of the Hyperfate one is the head but the rest is very very good.
That’s why I change the head with the Kotobukiya One:

She’s very delicious now :))
By the way, I really like your website and your reviews!
The Nendoroid one looks surprisingly poseable!
The middle one is ridiculously hot!
Only one of these I have is GSC’s. She was my first nendo, very cute.
I think Hetare Saber is so cute. Unfortunately, it belongs to my brother T_T.
Some photos I took of it.
