Go ahead, decry me with taunts of "Slowpoke.jpg" but I just found out that March's upcoming Fate/Extra! will come with a packed in exclusive Saber figure. At least, I think its Saber. I mean, that's what they called it but didn't we decide it wasn't her, but some "generic" version of the character?
Well, either way, for a bonus figure its pretty awesome. Danny Choo commented on how the actual product will come with different faces (designed by Wada Aruko and Takeuchi Takashi) That said, Takashi worked on Fate/Stay Night, but I have no idea who Wada Aruko is.
One thing I find giggly about the figure: It still includes the mostly translucent dress flourish we saw in the original renderings.

STARE INTO IT'S STUPID FACE AND DESPAIR!
Another thing which bothers me that people always want to give larger bewbs for Saber. Why? In the VN she was a semi-loli(in body proportions 14 years old). It is one of the symbols of her purity as being always maiden, but instead in both the anime and in many other sources they tend to give her a "plastic surgery".
They hardly try to do something with Rin, Sakura,Rider and co. to make them more appealing, but for the legendary knight must have some "improvements"...
wait until UBW come, i bet rin will get some "improvement"
sakura needs improvement?
and i am quite sure we have seen modred somewhere as a guy who arturia stabbed
Hairstyle, clothes etc...
But if we're speaking about those kind of "improvements"...in few fanarts Sakura gets it.
I agree that Sakura has good enough ones already. Though I might be damned but it isn't my focus of sight most of the time when I see her.:)
@cfatalis: And it how justifies Saber's "plastic surgery"? The original isn't appealing enough?...Japanese and fanservice...
and most fans seem to not like the borderline of having a bust compared to pettanko( so in their mind there's only ,BBS ---> middle grade---->pettanko), so most of the time they pumped it into at least Rin size
Also R.Shiki is alright too without showing off any(though she's at Rin's size).
In short I can't understand how can be Saber more with that "upgrade".
Or we should call it power-up to show her relative fighting ability compared to Arcueid?...though with that logic we would see something "amusing" when Arcueid goes 100% power.:p
akiha is made to be the target of size joke, fans cannot get over that(fate got ilya, then again if her mother is anything to go by.......), and she had the little sister thing going , it's like law
r shiki is the MC so she get benefits from that of not being a target (rin size is commonly said to be good enough)
if we say it is a powerup, that's half true in fate......., look at sakura compare with rin
avoided in
compare rider and saber
compare saber and caster
Perhaps...the PoB(Power of Breasts) rule doesn't apply there. But I used it just as a joke.
And Saber is somehow a MC as well as Rin and sakura. And poor Arthuria still undergone a breast operation...hile it didn't happen with any other heroine. Actually Hisui,Kohaku,Akiha,Rin, Shiki can get one...but it's meaningless as well as for her.
Honestly...other than in H-scenes where were we bothered with Saber being close to a petanko size? And as we all know H-scenes were one of the weakest parts of the game.
PoB do apply in some parts, just not in servant class, in male it's how many "bling bling" do you have
proof
gilgamesh is one of the best servant, he got way too many" bling bling "
lancer get easily crapped, he only got one" bling bling" (albeit that bling bling says die all the time)
archer can make his own "bling bling", he is shown fighting a superior servant twice and killing it 6 time, had the berserker not have that one-up phantasm, he would have win
lancelot can make anything into "bling bling", see how good is he fighting gilgamesh, with things he never seen before
PoB proof
sakura and rin, who had the most prana?
rider and caster, who is able to fight better?
well arturia did complained about how her body is not "womanly"
Did they do this because of the general rule of anime?
Every foreigner girl in anime having blonde hair and big breasts(except lolis).
But still it's bothersome.
With that in mind they can make Sakura figures and models in dinner dress...
you mean like the "princess sakura" in fate tiger coll?
A bit...or the one she wears in HA...especially the blue one;)
Perhaps Sakura usually is too reserved and shy to do that...but:
Or something like that...prana-nacked-apron xD
i believe i have that one
so how many magical girl did we have in nasu-verse anyway/
kaliedo ruby
prism ilya
that form of luvia and her apprentice (saphire something)
phantas-moon
magical cherry(more like grape , if going by color theme)
kohaku
