Nendoroid Petit Fate/stay night by Good Smile Company

This morning I received a box of Nendoroid Petit Fate/stay night.

Since the complete set is 12 figures and a full box contains 12 individual boxes, you got a secured full set when purchasing a box. This beats the spirit of a "trading figure", but is a bless for the people that does otonagai.

The collection consist in two versions of each Fate/stay night main female character: Saber, Rin, Sakura, Illya and Rider, plus an extra pajamas Saber and a pull back car Hetare Saber.
The poses of half of them are based in the first Fate/stay night Trading Figures also by GSC.

Armor Saber, Excalibur version and Caliburn version.

Tohsaka Rin, "Red Devil" version and jewel magic version.

Matou Sakura, school uniform version and apron version.

Illyasviel, coat version and dress version.

Rider, dagger version (the mask is removable) and using Bellerophon summoning circle version.

And Saber in pajamas and the secret figure a pull back car Hetare Saber.

The only bad thing that I can think of is that the different versions are very similar, in most cases with the same clothes and almost the same faces... I'm not asking for 12 different characters (quite possible) but at least different clothes, since all 5 girls appeared in-game with at least one different set of clothing.

Rider Figma by Max Factory

I was lucky to secure a Rider Figma by Max Factory in AmiAmi few minutes before it was sold out.

Rider comes with the usual figma base, 5 pairs of hands, a couple of faces (normal and yelling), a removable mask and her twin daggers, each with a metal chain of about 30 cm each.
It comes with relatively few accessories, but since Rider is pretty tall in figma standards and have a massively long hair, you don't feel like purchasing an almost empty box.


Rider
figma uses a new double jointed neck (no more hunchback aspect), and have an extra articulation hidden in the knee socks. Still, you can't pose her on all fours, top-down bottom-up, like one of her trademark CG from the game.

Rider massive hair is done in two parts of hard plastic, each with a joint, and a external layer of soft PVC hair. It gives an uniformity feel.

The union point of the front piece of hair and the rest is rather ugly if you see the figure's side...

The mask is detachable.

And this is the alternate yelling face. The mask can be put on this face too.

Rider by Griffon Enterprises

Rider by Griffon Enterprises is, like the previously released Saber (I did the entry here), part of the Deformate Series: figures based in illustrations by Harada Takehito (of Disgaea fame).
This time Rider was sculpted by Fio (Reply From...).

I was not very happy with Deformate Saber -is a rather small figure and the lack of details gives it a kind of "cheap toy" feeling- but Rider, despite of having the same small size (about 15 cm) is in overall better than the previous release: better sculpt that resembles more Harada's style, better paint job with metallic gloss effects and parts made of metal (the chains and the mask).

Side view. If you played Disgaea, Rider breasts are Succubus-sized.

Without the mask.

And the original illustration by Harada.

Along the the myriad of Saber figures, is nice to see figures of other TYPE-MOON characters from time to time...

Rider by ebCraft

Yesterday I received ebCraft's Rider from Fate/stay night.

Is an overall good looking figure, but with a problem: the hair.
The hair is made of a rigid plastic, different from the rest, and because of that it have pretty visible seam lines and a different color.

Like other French Doll's sculpts, the face is not perfect but is still pretty nice.

And came with a detachable mask...
