Nendoroid Aigis: P3 Edition

I know that many Persona fans have been anticipating to see Aigis/Aegis from Persona 3 being converted into a cute Nendoroid – some folks even went the trouble to make a custom one!

Anyway, Nendoroid Aigis: P3 Edition has been officially announced by GSC and as you can see on the product name – “Edition” means that she will be a fully-articulated Nendoroid! Yay! XD

7th Generation Anti-Shadow Suppression Android: Nendoroid form complete.
From the popular RPG ‘Persona 3’ comes a Nendoroid of Aigis! She comes with three different expressions including her standard expression, an upset expression and a smiling expression.
A number of weapon parts seen in the series are all included as optional parts, and she is also fully articulated to recreate all your favorite action poses from the series! The ‘Charred Screw’, a key item to Aigis, is also included.

She will be available on April 2014, priced at 4000 Yen.

If you are still unsure whether or not to get her, then you might want see some close-up shots as well as the usual “preview” up on Kahotan’s blog.

Also included as optional parts are two swords – her holy sword Excalibur dyed a dark black, as well as the sword erupting with dark energy, Vortigern – posing her with either sword together with the shouting face allows you to recreate various combat scenes from the series!

She will be available for 3800 Yen and scheduled for December release. *cough*

Nendoroid Saber: Casual Clothes version

Since she was seen for the first time at Summer WonFes 2010 (in full-color!!), Nendoroid Saber: Casual Clothes version had been missing from both WonFes and other figure-related events. A few of us may even have thought that she was going to be cancelled.

Well, this super-movable version of Saber made a surprise re-appearance in the latest Winter WonFes 2012, along with some new tidbits of her parts and accessories as well as her release info. See it for yourself after the break. ^^

Nendoroid Saber: Super Movable Edition

Note: This review will be a lengthy one, because I have a lot of things to be written about this Nendoroid, not to mention some “technical” issues that I faced during the reviewing process. ^^

I know that Nendoroid Saber: Super Movable Edition has been released for a while and most of you might have played around with her. Actually I just got mine back then in mid December due to some shipping delay. Anyway, this is my second Saber figurine – the first being Nendoroid Saber Lion and somehow I overlooked Nendoroid Saber Lily. ^^;

As her product name suggested, Nendoroid Saber: Super Movable Edition a.k.a Saber FA (full action) is the first regular-sized Nendoroid (Petit Hachune Miku is the first super movable Nendoroid) who has extraordinary joints and body structures which (supposedly) features more articulation flexibility.

OK, enough with the introduction; let’s get directly to the in-depth review after the break. ^^

EDIT: Wrong numbering fixed (Thanks, Monchan!)
