LANCER

Years ago it was thanks to Fate/Stay Night that i meet Figma and started a collection, Archer was my very first Figma and is still one of my favorites. Tough since then i hasnt get any other Fate figure since Good Smile refuse to make anything bara out of it, like Iskandar. But when they announced Lancer, i had my doubts.

Along side Archer, he was one of my very first husbandos of Fate. He is not a mature bara daddy like Iskandar but he pulls off the young muscle jock in spandex pretty nicelly, and manages to be extremelly cute and perverse at the same time. But i watched the Fate/Stay Night Heavens Feel on teathers and studly Cu Chulainn was both the sexyest part and the most badass and cool character on an otherwise boring affair.

Soo i just pre-ordered him and i dont regret.

Lancer comes in a standar Figma box and he comes in standar scale as well…or is he not? For some reason i dont understand, he is a little bit taller than all other Figmas, he is even taller than Guts. I usually would love this, but not when Archer looks shorter. I hate when they come out with different scales within a single series but nothing can be done, i just wonder if this is due to the many years it took them to make Lancer.

He can stand on his own, tough he comes with the super awesome Figma base mostly for jumping poses for aerial combat, and it suits him pretty well. He have double articulation on his neck, his hair, double articulation on his shoulders, elbows, wrists, chest, waist, legs, knees, ankles and middle of the feet, also since his outfit is extremelly minimalistic and is almost like he is nude…. nothing gets in the way of his articulations.

He can virtually be posed in any single way with no problem, wich makes him extremelly fun to play with.

The sculpt is good, very athletic musculature with meaty pecs and the face is as simplistic as he looks on the anime. His hair have probablly the best sculpt in the figure since his pony tails have a very dynamic and beautyfull sculpt. The paint is as simplistic as the sculpt but looks perfect for him.

Most of the paint details are on his eyes, red eyes with pretty sharp pupils and perfect paint apications.

There is a lack of accesoryes here tough, since he only have one single weapon; his red lance. I never notice until now but the design on his lance is pretty random and the pole looks like is covered in veins. His weapon is extremelly phalic…

The color is deep crimson and shiny and fits perfectly on hiw hand. Is usless to mention this weapon looks kinda delicate and must be handle with caution to not break it.

His other accesoryes are 3 extra faces: a smiling and winkling face, a face with a maniac and fierce smile and another one screaming in combat. Each one of this is perfectly painted and very expresive, i find specially awesome the deep of the sculpting on his screaming face. He is a very expresive character and with this faces he can be pretty cute and seductive and dangerous looking.

He also comes with a lot of hands. Really, he have A LOT to hild his weapon with both hands and in different angles. Again, this makes him an extremelly expresive character.

I cant really think of anything to complaing here. He is a little simple looking, but hes a perfect representation of the character. Soo now i have the two original boys of Fate and, even with the scale issue, i am very happy how this two looks and interacts together.

An interesting fact: on the box he is designated to Fate GO and not FSN, wich gives me hope, maybe Figma is going to release more Fate GO figures and maybe MMMAAAAYYYBBBEEEE Napoleon with them (i doubt it).
