Fate/Zero Saber & Saber Motored Cuirassier 1/8th scale (Good Smile Company)
Fate/Zero Saber & Saber Motored Cuirassier 1/8th scale released by GOOD SMILE COMPANY.
I would like to compare the fake and the real 1/8th scale figure of Saber, the
swordsman servant contracted by Emiya Kiritsugu from the popular anime "Fate/Zero". The left is real and the right is fake.
Fate/Zero is a light novel released by TYPE-MOON. This is the first collaboration between TYPE-MOON and Nitroplus and a very popular work.
As for this figure, it was released in June 2012 and was so popular that it was
resold in May 2017.
The bike has been reinforced into the Saber Motored Cuirassier with armor on the body, and Excalibur in hand, the figure of Saber, with her fierce fighting spirit, has been created in great detail.
What can I say, the bike is really cool.
It perfectly replicates the v4 engine of Yamaha's vmax, so there is something to recommend it to motorcycle enthusiasts as well.
When I first started collecting figures and sofubi, I was the same way. I bought a figure on the spur of the moment because it was cheap and I didn't know anything about it and it was fake. I thought, "I was cheated!".
The probability of hitting a fake has decreased drastically because you get used to seeing things a little bit more as you get used to them, I'd like to send out this message because I want to eliminate the damage caused by fakes as much as possible.
Package
It does not have the Fate/Zero logo on it.
The first edition in June 2012 has the copyright of "Hobby Japan" and "ANIPLEX", and the resale in May 2017 has 3 copyrights: "Hobby Japan", "ANIPLEX" and another "TYPE-MOON". Please note that the first edition has 2 copyrights and the resale has 3 copyrights, so just because there is one missing, it doesn't mean it is a fake.
Actual figures
If you compare them up close, you can see more clearly how poorly the modeling is done.
It was an introduction of Saber from the popular Fate. There is another Fate Archer figure, but this one has the copyright stickers removed in some way, but it is definitely genuine, and it comes with a copyright sticker depending on whether it is the first edition or resale like this Fate Saber. Depending on the figure, the age when it was released is also important because it may change.
If you can see the contents and compare them, you don't have to worry about buying a fake, but that's not always possible, so please be careful when purchasing online.
The real thing is really cool.
