Emiya and Saber in suits
After my last Saber purchase, ebCraft 1/7 Saber, I thought that will be the last Saber that I am gonna buy until they release a version of her in her blue dress. Then suddenly Max Factory announce they will be releasing Fate/Zero Emiya and Saber, and after seeing the prototype, I just couldn’t resist getting both of them. Displaying them with their bases joint together is really a good marketing strategy, it looks so good you just have to get both XD.
Saber was suppose to be release in December but was delay, and in the end was release together with Emiya, which is good, since I plan to do their shoot together anyway. Let’s start off with a shot inspire by lu-k’s silhouette shot of Emiya and Saber.
Both Emiya and Saber comes dress in black suits, which looks cool, especially Emiya’s, with his long trench coat. The custom base they came with can be put together, with Emiya and Saber standing back to back. Emiya comes with a pair of exchangeable right hand, one to hold his gun and the other to hold his cigarette.
Sculpt and paint work is excellent as expected from Max Factory, even the shoes are painted with a shiny look to it. Detailing is good as well on both Emiya and Saber.
Compare to Emiya, Saber does looks a little plain, with her upright pose. On closer look there’s some nice detail like the bracelet on her right hand, the little handkerchief in her suit pocket. This version of Saber looks quite manly compare to the rest of the Saber in my collection XD.
Saber’s Excalibur, there’s some writing on the blade but can’t really make out what it is though. She comes with an additional hand but it’s just a clenched fist though.
A battle aftermath silhouette shot ^^.
With the addition of Fate/Zero Saber, I now have a total of 8 Sabers ^^. I still hoping someone would release a Saber in her blue dress, same as the one release by Clayz, and my Saber collection will be complete.
Do check out super rats excellent shots of Emiya and Saber here and also lu-k’s version here.

If only Emiya in the television series dressed like that.
The Saber army! I like the aftermath shot too.
Yay ! Finally the Fate/zero photo shot.
As much I like these sets, I still prefer Saber casual / swimsuit.
Woho the aftermath shot is just fa-bu-lous! Thumbs up valho!
I won’t say that Saber looks plain (even if it’s a little ^^). There is I guess that volontary contrast between Emiya “relaxed style” and Saber “perfect style”. I love her like that, even more than any other outfit hehe.
That’s a lovely Saber collection you have there. Did you tried to grab the GSC reissued Saber figure?
I passed on this figurines, two reasons for that, I don’t collect male figurine (so emiya is out), and saber looks too plain
I like the last picture, saber army!
You don’t have Alter bikini saber? she’s my favorite saber so far, followed by GSC’s. need more 1/6 saber!
@Warpshadow~I only wish for Fate/Zero anime
@super rats~haha yeah, Saber army
@kiddokun~I like all my Sabers haha
@lu-k~thanks ^^, even though plain she still looks good. Since I manage to get ebCraft Saber, I didn’t try to get GSC version, already have so many Sabers so I try not to have more than one of each version, revoltech not included XD
@ron~plain is good ron~ ^^. There’s actually no bikini figures in my collection XD, for some reason I don’t buy bikini version of figures haha. I just want Saber in her blue dress ^^
Nice pics and haul as usual ^^ 90% of the figures you get is what i get too or would like to get
Are we separate twins ? LOL I do hope for a Fate/Zero anime too. Couldn´t you manage to get the Clayz figure or you didn´t like it ?
the dark shots looks fabulous, really reminds me of their city battle scene.
Haven collect mine from Kev.. haha.. I bought Saber only.. The clayz one is which one?
@Prim3~The Saber from Clayz is this one
