Nendoroid Hatsune Miku vs Saber
GSC has teamed up with Bandai Namco to produce an RPG out of their Nendoroid figures, titled Nendoroid Generation. The game is slated for PSP, and it is released as part of GSC’s 10th anniversary celebration. Wow!
UPDATE: In-game screenshot has been added!
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!)
My favorite photo submission
The winners for Nendoroid Saber Super Movable photo contest have been announced at Mikatan’s blog. If you were participating in the contest, you can see whether you made it to the list or not. The photo above is my favorite entry – Saber’s expression looks epic in that scene. ^^
For the rest of the winners’ photo submission, please visit Mikatan’s blog. Too bad that most Nendonesian who lives in Indonesia could not take part due to late shipping of this Saber. ^^;

Nendoroid Saber Super Movable Edition
The first super-movable Nendoroid ever: Nendoroid Saber: Super Movable Edition has been released in Japan as of today. So, what’s so special about her? Well, of course it’s her joints. Unlike other previous Nendoroid, this super movable Saber has joints on her elbows and ankles – reminds me of Nendoroid Petit Hachune Miku. This Saber also brings along some of her swords and the sheaths – which looks to be very well sculpted.
Aside from her usual photo session, GSC staff Mikatan also held a small photo competition to celebrate this super-movable Nendoroid’s release. Here’s the details:
