Polyvinyl Crush

Looking at the calendar I’d say I’m a little late with this concept but I couldn’t find the time this weekend to do a full review so I decided to this instead.  The rules were simple: 1) The figure had to be released in 2009 (so all those GSC and Alter figures that got pushed back didn’t make the cut) and 2) I actually had to own the figure.  Despite those simple rules this ended up being quite the task since so many fantastic figures were released in 2009.  On top of that I decided to be really controversial and rank these 15 beauties.  Why 15?  Because I honestly couldn’t whittle the list down further than that.

On Friday we covered GCS’s follow-up to this figure with Saber ‘Triumphant Excalibur Ver.’ so I thought it would be nice to today review her predecessor.  Saber on Friday and Saber on Monday.  I can’t think of a better way to spend a weekend than to be sandwiched between two Sabers.  Today we’re taking a look at Good Smile Company’s 1/7th scale Saber Lily ‘Distant Avalon Ver.’ PVC figure from Fate/unlimited Codes.

“Saber Lily came in,” my local anime store owner messaged me.  “You had better not be joking,” my reply was.  Luckily for him he wasn’t!  Not only was Saber Lily waiting for me on Friday when I walked into the store, but Uplark’s Nia, GSC’s Nendoroid Saber Lily, and three new Lucky Star  “summer version” figma’s were as well.  Still waiting on Kagamin and then the summer figma harem will be complete. :3
