Only things I voted for were the Ga-Rei Zero figmas, so at least those made it. Seeing the Saber Lily top the Scaled figures is incredibly annoying since I think it just got rereleased last year. Oh well, back to eying Mandarake for the other stuff I voted for...

Annoying for you great for me as I wanted it to win lol. I have 2 other Saber Lily figures but not that one so I'd love to get my hands on it personally. Without paying an exorbitant fee on Amazon/Ebay to get it from someone else that is. I know there are A LOT of FS figures, especially Saber ones, but the Saber Lily ones are some of the best I think.

Distant Avalon was repressed in January, actually! For reals! X_X

Caliburn (#1 vote) was WonFes only.

I want the Saber Lily nendo and figma ;A; - I am trying to find one aftermarket and try to pay under $250 for both Sad

It disappoints me that they didn't win but I hope that we can at least get a repressing on the Nendoroid, I'm not holding my breath IN THE LEAST for the figma.

Saber 1/7 Excalibur, afaik has only had one pressing, though. I wouldn't mind though I am still a little bit sad because of the Distant Avalon repressing, it hurts my collector's soul.


edit: Looks like a large number of the "please repress!" votes went to WonFes and limited-edition-video-game-pack-in exclusive items. Kurisu (Lab Coat ver) was a WonFes exclusive.

A re-print of Kino would be AWESOME. Luckily, don't need the others (already have Makise, don't collect Figmas, and not interested in the others) so that keeps my wallet safe. Smile

I'm jealous. I just have the normal Kurisu and the cheerleader Kurisu Sad

I am so pleased with this. Excalibur Saber, Kino, and Shiki will all get purchases from me. Especially Shiki; that one is soooo hard to find nowadays.

The campaign's results page notes that it will post updates, but GSC does not guarantee the resale of figures that voters selected.

As someone who bought Fate Unlimited Codes just so I could get the Saber Lily figma (and despite not having a PS2), I would be quite annoyed if they did end up releasing it again.

Not because I don't want anyone else to have the figma, wanting to keep it all rare and valuable, but because I bought it under the assumption that that was the only way to get the figma. If I knew that they would just release it separately later, I would've just waited for that than fork out money for a game I'm probably never going to play.

Rolling Eyes

The one opportunity to get a few rare figures reprinted from GSC and what do we get? More Saber.

Never mind the fact there's already more on the way.

No matter. My days of buying figures are drawing to an end anyway. I'm sick of the direction this market is going.

I would be pretty disappointed if they were to have a full-out release, but if it were a WonFes exclusive or something I wouldn't mind if I already owned it.

As it is, finding a copy of the PS2 game that includes a good condition figma is murder. I'll be paying like $150+ when I do find it. I must get it though, as I have every other figma Saber. Except Alter. Because I kept saying "one more week..." - but she's not ::rare:: - also, I want the game, too.

I can understand where you're coming from, though.

I hope they don't re-release her, but at the same time I really really really hope I can find one to buy.

I hope they do re-release the Saber Lily nendoroid though. Or maybe a Saber Lily Super-Moveable edition nendoroid. That would be so ridiculously awesome.



A Red!Saber nendoroid would be pretty awesome, too.



...that reminds me, I need to buy Nendoroid Complete File for the Saber casualwear nendoroid.
