<p>Finally going to have an actual rin nendoroid and not the funky ones they released when they first came out with Nendoroids</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7023/6476097135_4197bb82d4_o.jpg" alt="" width="500"/></a></p>
<p>Looks like they also come with faces styled after the Hetare Nendoroids of them that were released long ago. </p>

<p>No release of price info, don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;ll be a set for 6,000 yen or individual at 3,000 each. Either way I&#8217;m getting them for sure! I&#8217;ll update this post as soon as I have any info on them! </p>
<p>EDIT: Orders start the 11th and end the 28th, they&#8217;ll be out in May. </p>

<p>Adoring this latest Saber figure from Gift, I love the Realistic/artistic version of Saber that Gift has been releasing. The extra added detail added to her dress is stunning! I very much need this Saber, still pre-ordered her, just gotta save up for Saber Extra Dollfie Dream since money is a little tight.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6423253893_0c66393b6d_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>Adoring the flowing in the wind look of her clothes!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7158/6423253935_16747b94be_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>That face, her smile is just amazing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7156/6423254053_e8d29633ec_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>Amazing sword!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7022/6423254129_14cea10a7f_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>Wow her boobs are huge! No wonder the DD comes with a Large bust and not the typical medium Saber tends to come with!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6038/6423254219_2e602b9254_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>Showing a bit of sexy back, nice!</p>

<p>Great boots!</p>

<p>Saber just came out for pre-order, she&#8217;s stunningly amazing and I&#8217;m gonna try my best to get my hands on her! I think she&#8217;s my favorite of all the Gift Sabers so far, her face is just wonderful! She comes out around May of next year and is going for around 7,200 yen. </p>

<p>Good Smile Company does it again! Another amazing stunning and gorgeous Saber figure! Saber ~Triumphant Excalibur~ is so beautifully made I&#8217;m so stunned when i really got to see her up close and even more so when I compared her to an older <a href="http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/425/Saber.html" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.goodsmile.info/product/en/425/Saber.html?referer=');">Good Smile Saber figure </a>I own. To think that in three short years they&#8217;ve stepped up their quality standards by so much really amazes me!<br />
<span id="more-2030"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1176/5118699565_83601bc452_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm2.static.flickr.com/1176/5118699565_83601bc452_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1176/5118699565_3813ab4058_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I love her face, such aggression, passion, anger.  The shade of metal on her armor, the blue of her dress, simply amazing how well and how detailed they went for Saber.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4029/5119302400_130b68ca97_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm5.static.flickr.com/4029/5119302400_130b68ca97_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4029/5119302400_3c970c4cc6_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Love the engraving on her breastplate and how well detailed it is!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1393/5119302570_03f1bd6672_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm2.static.flickr.com/1393/5119302570_03f1bd6672_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1393/5119302570_8d23a68f06.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/5118700283_33a7322029_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/5118700283_33a7322029_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/5118700283_48659f121a_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Again her armor is so stunning, you almost think it&#8217;s actual metal!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5118700559_7379e7265e_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5118700559_7379e7265e_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5118700559_3796c9e5d9_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>You can&#8217;t see it clearly here but her front flap is kinda weirdish looking apparently looking at another figure owned by a friend and the promotional photos it&#8217;s on purpose but it just seems weird to have it be splotchy on the front flap, however it doesn&#8217;t detract from the figure overall.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4148/5118700727_1dc3416e9b_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm5.static.flickr.com/4148/5118700727_1dc3416e9b_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4148/5118700727_889cb6ac6a.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>her hands gripping Triumphant Excalibur do look amazing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4113/5118700871_db8afb133d_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm5.static.flickr.com/4113/5118700871_db8afb133d_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4113/5118700871_7b9faa0902.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Excalibur itself looks pretty darn awesome!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1355/5119303618_0bf4062cdf_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm2.static.flickr.com/1355/5119303618_0bf4062cdf_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1355/5119303618_75e896e583_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>You can see so much better here what i meant about the splotchyness, i don&#8217; know why they would choose to do this for her design.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/5119303736_6aff77d32f_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/5119303736_6aff77d32f_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/5119303736_308da61b60.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/5119303894_a245cba424_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/5119303894_a245cba424_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/5119303894_364684fa58.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Saber&#8217;s hair does look amazing but then it&#8217;s not hard to ruin her braided bun.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1320/5118701679_1e24a4367f_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm2.static.flickr.com/1320/5118701679_1e24a4367f_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1320/5118701679_5c8f2a839d.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>The base is very similar to the style that of Saber Lily, this is certainly a figure that would look best displayed next to <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2009/12/02/gsc-saber-lily-distant-avalon/" target="_blank">Saber Lily</a> and the upcoming <a href="http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/2987/Saber+Alter+Vortigern.html" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.goodsmile.info/product/en/2987/Saber+Alter+Vortigern.html?referer=');">Alter Saber by Good Smile</a> as well.</p>

<p>This particular saber is so stunning and amazing any fan of Saber should do their best to own her, and any figure collector worth their salt will be doing like me to get their hands on her! I sadly missed out and this sample belongs to my brother. I will be doing my best to save up and purchase her for myself since she is so stunning!

<p>It&#8217;s no secret that I love used figures, I&#8217;m a huge bargain hunter and finding figures for cheap is just an awesome feeling. There are just some awesome things about Pre-loved figures, you can see on said figure how much the previous owner loved her and cared for her. From how well they took care of the original packaging, to the figure itself, and i have to say i was stunned at how Saber came to be in my possession.</p>
<p><span id="more-1009"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3633/3291009955_08a7e94c14_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm4.static.flickr.com/3633/3291009955_08a7e94c14_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3633/3291009955_40e4b4174f.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>She came in a box with two other figures, four in total with another figure in a separate box. Now saber didn&#8217;t come damaged and neither did her box. But i&#8217;ve never seen a figure so dusty.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3445/3291827582_e00f72ab7a_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm4.static.flickr.com/3445/3291827582_e00f72ab7a_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3445/3291827582_817e272e7e_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Saber had a layer of dust on her that even my air compressor couldn&#8217;t remove, I had to soak her in lukewarm soapy water and a scrub her with a soft bristle toothbrush.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3317/3291827858_19f43f1ed3_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm4.static.flickr.com/3317/3291827858_19f43f1ed3_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3317/3291827858_5b7cd1d68c_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Now she&#8217;s all clean and fancy! but she also had a bit of paint transfer on her right leg. Nothing a bit of Paint Thinner and a Q-Tip couldn&#8217;t fix!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3606/3291827972_dae562997a_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm4.static.flickr.com/3606/3291827972_dae562997a_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3606/3291827972_5f01a8282e.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m still amazed at the price she was sold at $20. Considering she has a retail price of 7,800 she could have easily gone for more. But i wasn&#8217;t about to complain about getting her at too good a price.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3465/3291828208_c9910122e1_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm4.static.flickr.com/3465/3291828208_c9910122e1_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3465/3291828208_60cd030fb1_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>This maid outfit has to be the sexiest outfit for Saber ever made.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3520/3291011063_1f84395d46_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm4.static.flickr.com/3520/3291011063_1f84395d46_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3520/3291011063_0bd9f1a408_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s funny how Io keep getting more Saber figures, I told myself long ago i&#8217;d stop getting Saber figures as i didn&#8217;t even like Fate/Stay Night that much. But it&#8217;s too hard to pass up a good figure!</p>

<p>Now I own a total of 6 Sabers and will end up with a total of 9 Sabers with the Saber Lion Nendo, Saber Lily PVC and Saber Lily Nendo.</p>

<p>This Saber was purely an impulse buy. How could i pass up on her for only $20! Saber really is cute but she isn&#8217;t a figure that looks good head on. Somehow she looks like her ears are just huge from head on. if you even look at all the promotional picture they are somehow from the side as she just looks best from an angel and not head on. She completely changes from what way you are looking at her. Still a great figure an I&#8217;m very glad Dirtybeast had to sell her and that I was lucky enough to snap her up first!</p>

<p>When this amazing Saber figure was announced by the new figure company Gift I was intrigued. There was something about her that just caught my attention, yet i didn&#8217;t rush to pre-order her. I didn&#8217;t do my usual mad dash to get my hands on her like i do with other figures. I had to think about whether or not i really wanted her. A few things were keeping me away, the fact that it was a new company, and the fact that her face was just plain terrible.</p>
<p><span id="more-941"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3258332619/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3258332619/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3312/3258332619_0d608cf96e_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>The Maiden Voyage of Gift was going to be the release of this Saber, and if we were to base Saber here solely on her face i think Gift would be sinking like the titanic.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3259163658/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3259163658/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3527/3259163658_d42ce9a280_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>If it were just a figure not based on a character but just something pretty they decided to make she&#8217;s be astounding and something everyone must own.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3258332825/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3258332825/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3481/3258332825_2c73ccde70_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>But it&#8217;s supposed to be Saber, from Fate/Stay Night. We know who Saber is and what she is supposed to look like and sadly this isn&#8217;t Saber.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3258332917/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3258332917/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3342/3258332917_ed37474b5a_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>The major appeal of this figure by many figure collectors including myself was the armor. It&#8217;s so detailed and so extravagant. No other Saber figure has such a beautiful rendition of her full armor.</p>

<p>But her face is just so off and soo terrible that it knocks her down a few points on the awesomeness scale.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3258333085/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3258333085/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3466/3258333085_32ff204c59_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>But i just adore the armor, i love the windswept look. How her skirt just blows in the wind, which looked perfect for today since it was very windy while taking pictures.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3259164084/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3259164084/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3267/3259164084_534d296bf0_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Now Saber does come with two faces and they are both pretty bad.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3258333269/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3258333269/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3264/3258333269_bfe2c26d73_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>The first is the &#8220;Anime Style&#8221; face that is a bit angrier.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3259164262/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3259164262/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3379/3259164262_957dc6629e_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Then we have a softer more Humanesque Saber.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3259164318/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3259164318/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3381/3259164318_959f61dcc5_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Now if this wasn&#8217;t supposed to be Saber but just a pretty figure she&#8217;d be so amazing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3258333501/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3258333501/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3258333501_f21c50d666_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>The face is pretty, both faces are nice. Nothing is wrong with them really, the problem is neither or them are Saber.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3258333603/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3258333603/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3476/3258333603_1059cd83ae_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>No pantie shots since she wears <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomers_(clothing)" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomers_clothing?referer=');">long bloomers</a>, the least sexiest undies ever invented.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3258333679/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3258333679/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3418/3258333679_7ddc8703d1_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Now here we have the best saber figure ever made. Just had to do a small alteration and now there are no faults with this figure. Other than the fact that she&#8217;s headless of course.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3258333759/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3258333759/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3411/3258333759_3b69e9b078_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>She looks almost creepy headless. Totally reminds me of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepy_Hollow_(film)" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepy_Hollow_film?referer=');">Sleep Hollow</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3259164772/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3259164772/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3451/3259164772_17b7f9bb8d_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Saber looking over her kingdom.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3258333897/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3258333897/sizes/o/in/set-72157613446478160/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3314/3258333897_199efe054a_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>As i&#8217;ve mentioned that she is amazing yet her face is just off. But i do expect good things from Gift, since they are making that amazing <a href="http://www.goodsmile.info/detail/eng/2266/Yoko.html" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.goodsmile.info/detail/eng/2266/Yoko.html?referer=');">1/5 scale yoko</a>. I&#8217;m not about to cancel my order for Yoko and since i have to admit the <a href="http://www.goodsmile.info/detail/eng/493/Saber.html" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.goodsmile.info/detail/eng/493/Saber.html?referer=');">promotional pictures</a> for Saber were true to the pvc counterpart i hope the same stay true for Yoko. Now Saber here is really a gift, she&#8217;s my x-mas/Birthday present from my older brother. I had to force him to pre-order her for me last minute and even then his credit card didn&#8217;t go through. So i ended up buying ehr but he&#8217;s paying me back tomorrow! (at least he better!) The funny thing is I promised myself to not buy anime more Fate/Stay Night Figures, now i&#8217;ve got three more saber figures coming in. Saber is a hard figure to avoid having in your collection, and if you were looking for a saber that is in her orignal armor then this would be the one to own. But if you&#8217;re just looking for an amazing Saber figure, then i suggest getting the soon to be released <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2009/01/22/saber-lily-before-its-too-late/" target="_blank">Saber Lily</a>.</p>

<p>One of my first posts on this blog was about my <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2007/07/24/leaning-figures-of-doom/" target="_blank">leaning Saber Swimsuit</a> figure. I bought her at a local anime shop on impulse and was so excited when i got her. She&#8217;s a very cute and figure and so nicely detailed. but after an accident she&#8217;s been leaning ever since&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-473"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3086662896/sizes/o/in/set-72157610795558794/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3086662896/sizes/o/in/set-72157610795558794/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3273/3086662896_8bd3b32596_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>She is truly such an amazing figure and i was devastated when she started leaning. Now the hot water treatment i applied did work for a while.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3086662850/sizes/o/in/set-72157610795558794/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3086662850/sizes/o/in/set-72157610795558794/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3232/3086662850_d5fb28db0f_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Now the major problem and the reason why she started to lean was that i had her on a shelf in front of a window. My mom came in and opened the window and the wind knocked her down and broke her off her base, which also broke the base. Now i was able to glue her back on but since she wasn&#8217;t placed on the base properly and she started leaning even worse.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3085825285/sizes/o/in/set-72157610795558794/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3085825285/sizes/o/in/set-72157610795558794/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3215/3085825285_774393b735_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Now i pretty much had her off her base and sitting on a shelf trying to figure out a way to fix her. I came up with the idea to get a custom base! I got the base through E2046.com and then make a hole in her leg and screw her to the base.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3086662816/sizes/o/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3086662816/sizes/o/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/3086662816_4f0b65109c_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>In the end I&#8217;m very pleased on the final result. I was terrified when my dad showed me how we would drill into her leg. then when he made me do it myself! I nearly crapped my pants when the drill went into her leg but it went in so smoothly and it worked so well! Now so far she&#8217;s not leaning and is looking good. I&#8217;ll make sure to keep you all updated on whether or not she leans again.</p>
