Fate/Stay Night - Saber Alter - 1/7 - Vortigern (Good Smile Company)

Klon (1 jaar geleden) #14152153I can't understand the hype about this figure, nor can I understand the aftermarket price. Back in 2011 it might have been a nice figure but in 2016 I'd buy Huke's Saber Alter version. In my opinin she looks better by far and is even cheaper than some aftermakret prices of this one.

Simply put, it's a solid figure. It doesn't look old despite being from 2011 and it's a good representation of Saber Alter from a good manufacturer.

Huke's is highly stylised, such that I look at it and think who the hell is this character? It's vaguely Saber like, but only just. Granted some will like that approach, but the more extreme the style, the smaller the market. This on the other hand is simply Saber Alter, and thus has mass appeal.

GCS: come here , i want to tell you something.
Me: *comes near* did we get a release date??!!
GSC: HA! HERE IS A 3MONTHS DELAY SLAP!!!!! *Slap*
Me: *cries in corner* but I already paid for it T_T

pitypera (3 maand(en) geleden) #31350281okay, solved it, here are some pics
imgur.com/a/6py...I see, that's a big gap indeed. Like I posted earlier, the headpiece has two pins that are supposed to fit in the sockets in the head. When putting the headpiece, make sure they're aligning correctly. If they're not, I think you can try to fiddle with the pins a little bit.

marseille (3 maand(en) geleden) #31342218I know it's an old post but I'm gonna answer this in case someone else has the same issue.
I finally got my Saber Alter last week and it's the latest re-release version. I exchanged the headpieces today and didn't notice any ugly gaps, the pieces fit quite well. But I got a little startled when I removed the headpiece, because one of the pins didn't come out with the headpiece, it got stuck in the head. Luckily nothing broke, the pin just got stuck and I was able to remove it with a pincet and put it back in the headpiece. If you're having issues with the headpiece not fitting well in the head, maybe you can try to move these two pins a little bit so they align better with the sockets in the head.

on mine the headpiece just doesnt align well to the head resulting in ugly gaps.

took some pics, hopefully it comes accross what im talking about. will post them as soon as imgur stops acting up..

pitypera (5 maand(en) geleden) #30863282is anyone over here who got the recent re-release?
if so, does your headpieces (the two that are interchangeable) fit the head reasonably? For me, there are some quite ugly gaps between a the headpieces and the hair on the figs head, somehow it doesn't align well. will provide some pictures if someone can elaborate
