Never did get round to watching all of Fate but I do like Saber and Sakura.
Was disappointed with the other release of Sakura as the shots I saw at Moeyo looked like she was painted badly - shame too as the eyes on that one looked much nicer ^^;

The expression on this 1/6 scale figure looks a bit odd and her waist looks a bit off too. The towel is a bit shiny for my taste too. Everything else about this figure is fine however. Those interested can get her at HobbyStuff4U who I have to thank for the free sample again ^o^
The weather is lousy in Tokyo at the moment and it looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer before I can do another photo shoot orz.
First time here?

i agree, her face and waist do seem a bit off. 

and her boobs might be slightly larger compared to the anime? i dunno.. 

i like the way you used saber to  cup sakura.. 
too bad she's not blushing! ;)

Nice pictures, but I prefer Reider than these 2, which is on the way to reach my country soon ^^

Lol.

Nice Danny, being very... I can't think of the word but nice anyway. XD

Never watched the Fate series and I'm very, very lazy to watch them.  Even though I could purchase the whole series for 35 to 50 dollars I'm still gonna be lazy about it. ^^;

The series had a lot of potential to have been a great one. Otherwise, its enjoyable, but not enough to make a top 10 list

I watched the TV series first and didn't like it until the final few episodes. I especially disliked Emiya Shiro (the main character) for some reason.
Then i played the eroge and it was  many times better than the tv series (maybe its because you play AS Shiro and dont have to see the prick from a 3rd person view) Now I'm a fan of the Fate series (still playing Fate H/A time to time). So if anyone has time to kill (took me 40hrs to finish the game), try the game!

lol on the saber and sakura eye massage image. ^^ I bought the series on dvd over a month ago, but never found the time to watch it. I was wondering Danny how many samples do you usually get in a month? guess you'll probably have to get more shelves later on. ^^

I do agree that her face seems a bit off.  Still love the Saber figure though. Can't get over it in fact. >_

Oh my gosh, saber's hands are so useful! Try spraying the towel with flat topcoat. 

It is such an awesome tool. I've used it on loads of things to create smooth surfaces (I even used it on the back of my ipod to prevent scratches but I would not recommend how it looks though).

I considered getting sakura but the thighs are huge so I got the combat version(1/8 scale) instead.

I like the Booby embracing shot as well as the double Booty shot!! At least the towel comes off and can be repainted in a different texture ... I have yet to see Fates, but from what Ive heard its good .....

the Sakura figure is cute but basing from the close-up shots, it looks like not only her hips is a bit off but also her face/head but everything is cute ^^

i love the SakuraxSaber shots...it's so shoujo-ai-ish *heart*

Doesn't look that bad Danny, the whole bikini series for of Fate girls in swim wear just looks awesomely hot...and I mean steaming hot :3 Should get your hands on Rider too ;) My only downside for them was the scale, 1/6 is awfully big for me.

This figure is scary when looked at from certain angles ^___^;

The photos are really nice though, I like the first picture (camera shot taken from the back). It makes them look like they were discussing the finer points of globalization :p

Nice pics Danny, very ero of you to do ^-^.  I love it and it seems others do as well.  I like how the stomach portion seems to stick out a little more than usual figures do, looks a bit more realistic that way.

Akiraman,
I hear the PC version is Ero. I dont think you can get ero stuff on a PS2.

Anjerasu,
Thats one of the reasons I'm not going for the 1/4 haruhi - too big!

Tsubaki,
Thanks ^^b

minaseさん、
表示の方はもうOKですね?

Ken,
Will give it a try.

Yes, Fate Realta Nua is all-ages like Danny said. 

It also features fully voiced dialogues

I agree with Danny about the face and waist but... LOOk AT HER!!! I love it, but the best is Rider, of course.

I`m a hard fan of Fate Stay Night,love the anime, the character(have any problem with Shirou, why? :)),desperately search for the game, no matter how, I can`t run it on my PC, AAARGH!!

Am more of a rider fan, myself.

Saber is always good tho. There's a reason why she's one of (of not the) most popular eroge characters in history!

I didn't fall for that figure, the face is just to odd for my taste. 

But, Sakura is all win when it comes to Fate/stay night.

According to Wiki, Sakura's three sizes are B85/W56/H87. I think the eyes on this figure seem a little too small.

I have the same exact Sakura Matou figurine. 

It's badly painted unfortunately because when I took off her red skirt(or towel), it left some red mark on her leg and I was already being extra careful too :(
