Nendo vs. Nendo Petite Size Comparison

When I received my Yurippe Petite Nendoroid, I was naturally quite surprised at her miniature size considering that she was my first acquisition in Good Smile Company’s Petite Nendoroids line.

Saber Lily Trio Completed

I finally got around to acquiring the Saber Lily nendoroid, which completes the trio set of GSC’s Saber Lily ~Distant Avalon~ and Max Factory’s Saber Lily figma.

Unfortunately, the box was somewhat dented on the front, bottom, and back. A pro tip to sellers, don’t list your product as new and then make no mention of considerable imperfections. That’s not how business should be done, and we don’t tolerate that over at Figure Haven. If it’s not in perfect condition, then make a note of it. :)

Saber Lily ~Golden Caliburn~ at Anime Expo 2010

Just a quick notice. For those that didn’t preorder Saber Lily ~Golden Caliburn~ and are still interested, I saw this at our wholesaler’s website.

Good Smile Company will release this product in North America at this year’s Anime Expo 2010 and San Diego Comic Con 2010. There will be a limited supply on hand and customers will be limited to 1 each.

A bit pricey though at a suggested retail price of $149.99.

Saber Lily: Figure versus figma

saber_lily_comparison

I thought the figma version would be a bit larger. Now I’m slightly disappointed.

Seems like a lot of figmas are around the same size though. This was my first one so I was caught off-guard.

Saber figmas

Considering that there are currently four figmas out just of Saber, let’s take a look at them.

Saber Lily from Hobby Search

saber_lily_box

My pre-order for Saber Lily ~Distant Avalon~ from Hobby Search has arrived this morning.

The packaging is very well done with the figure solidly secured inside, and it even has bubble wrap padding the back of the dress. The exterior of the box has a foil surface that makes it reflective, creating an effect suitable for Saber.

Best figure hands down out of all those that are currently released, although I am biased in many ways. The quality and level of work required to make this figure is simply astounding. Even the base it stands on is epic. Good Smile Company has certainly made it worth waiting through all those delays on this figure.
