gift saber Gift, a new figure making team is starting their new project with a bang. The elite servant Saber of Fate/stay night is in her full glory. Saber the personification of the expression “Knight in shining armor”. The metallic finish brought out the clean details of the plates and braces she wears but the use of semi opaque plastic brought out the light airy quality of her skirt.

Toda Satoru of Yume no kagutsuchino kougoku has already combined chivalry with delicateness with this figure, but when he teamed up with Kuramoto Ikuma, the team literally brought a new face to Saber. The first edition of the figure comes with an additional head part. Have the golden haired knight change her expression from gallantly stoic to confidently smiling any time you wish.

ToyCon 2008

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

I visited the Philippine ToyCon last June 14, 2008. It was a two-day event but I didn’t bother visiting again the next day because it will drain my wallet. Compared to the previous years’ ToyCon, it was always the same with a lot of retail booths. If you’re an anime fan though, you’ll like this event.

Here are some pics for the non-anime fans. Batman is #1!!!
