Max Factory, the renowned Japanese company behind the popular "figma" articulated figure series, recently announced the upcoming release of "Saber/Nero Claudius [Bride]" from the hit mobile game "Fate/Grand Order," slated for November 2022.
Originating from the "Fate/Extra" series, this particular Saber is none other than the tyrannical Roman Emperor, "Nero Claudius." While she shares the iconic "Saber face," Nero's personality is a stark contrast to Artoria Pendragon. She is known for being arrogant, impulsive, and impatient, with a deep love for all things luxurious, and an equally strong disdain for frugality, decline, and rebellion. Blessed with an EX-rank Imperial Privilege, Nero can adapt to any class and wields her formidable red flamberge, "Aestus Estus."
This latest figma rendition is meticulously crafted based on her First Ascension illustration from "Fate/Grand Order." It represents a complete overhaul in sculpting and design compared to the "Fate/Extra CCC" version released in 2013. The figure beautifully recreates her opulent, pure white attire using clear parts, metallic and gradient paint applications, and intricate chain details. Furthermore, the shoulder joints have been upgraded with a more flexible pull-out mechanism, allowing for dynamic two-handed sword poses.
For accessories, the figure includes three adorable interchangeable face plates: a "smiling face," a "gritting teeth face," and a "blushing face." Paired with a "white rose bouquet," a "single white rose," and her beloved greatsword "Aestus Estus," collectors can effortlessly recreate various in-game skill activations and Noble Phantasm poses!
