Here we have younger version of Fate Testarossa, one of my all time favorite characters, finally given a poseable and moveable figure. You would think that I would be completely happy with the figure right?
While I would still recommend figure fans and Nanoha fans to pick her up, this figure leaves more to be desired. You could of course swap her faces with either the already existing Figma Adult Fate or the upcoming school uniform Fate.

lol constip8ed…XD
I know what you mean by the bang covering the eyebrows. Someone who does quite a bit of figma modding has used a sharp design knife to scrape off parts of her bang (on the edges) to make her eyebrows a bit more visible. You can have a look here:

He’s also planning to give Fate more alternate faces true to her character. Btw you may know it or not he’s the one who makes custom figmas such as Nagato thief cosplay ver, Mikuru mage cosplay ver, Haruhi bunny etc.
@ Q: Woah! I was right regarding that bangs covering the eyebrows thing. What a huge improvement! (^.^)
Thanks for the link!
LOL Constipated. :D
That is a big change. You dont realize it until you compare the before and after.
I for one, though, am pretty happy with the Nanoha and Fate figmas. I agree that the faces didnt look right on Fate and even Nanoha had that problem. Her angry face doesnt look quite as angry as it should.
Oh well, I guess. It would be nice if they released a Face Pack add-on kind of thing.
@ alexeon
@ actar: lets hope if they make a yonger ver. of hayate (did i spell that rite? i only watched 1 ep of the anime) itll come out good…
*lol* Yui (O_O)
Good I’m not the only one who think the face look weird
Fate is my fave and I know her expressions
but these doesn’t suit her
Wow it’s really a huge improvement if you make her eyebrows more visable. Everything is great about the figure especially bardiche in scythe form (^.^)
anyway great review Actar!
@konakonaotaku: yupp hayate yagami
hm that would be great if they make one
@ kanethemessias: she would b SO CUTE!!!!! mayb after my book is published i can make some light novels n when (or if) they make a movie, i can ask goodsmaile 2 make figmas of them….getting WAAAAAAAAAYYY ahead of myself………..
(O.O) *yui gasp*
@ actar: heres a link from the same site Q gave u:

@konakonaotaku: so you are an author hm?
It would be also great if they make Teana from StrikerS
or Cirno from Touhou project han my friend would be satisfied (^.^)
@ kanethemessias: goodsmile and max factory made a teana lanster figure but its not a figma. its from a new line called “acsta”
http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/2790/actsta+Teana+Lanster.html
yea i m n author of n unpublished series, so its kinda moot point ^.^; however i think 1 of the books might b offensive in ur region since its about WW II n the nazis
@konakonaotaku: yeah I know this line but I prefer figma (^.^)
I hope they make a figma Teana. The time will show it.
I think they make the others of StrikerS too.
A Vivio figma would be so cute (♥.♥)
@ kanethemessias: hah? vivio?
man, u kno wat I would luv? an amu figma (from shugo-chara)
Actar, you already knew about the awkward face for while now but it didn’t stop you from getting figma Fate eh? ^^;
@konakonaotaku
amu? definitely. :D i’m gonna go send lots of emails to good smile concerning an amu figma now. and you’ll need to show us your writing, so we can be impressed and not have to come kill you tonight. :)
@KaneTheMessias
not a big fan of actstas either. too expensive for my tastes ^^; but if even if i was struggling to live after an expensive figure purchase, i would buy the cirno figma. no doubt about it. even if it would nearly kill me to buy it, even if its an exclusive that will be a huge pain in the ass to get, i would buy it. and it better have a circle-nine face of some sort.
@shann: yeah you say it
⑨ is also one of my faves
1. Reimu 2nd Marisa 3rd ⑨Cirno⑨
I buy all touhou figmas wich will come out
hope more will come this year
I just got mine yesterday, I see what you mean about the faces but it’s not enough to make me not like her. Nice video review ^^ I always enjoy watching them even if I own the figure.
I preordened my Fate figure so She will be arriving soon. Really good review, I didnt know the cape is removable, but good to know it is. I only wonder why there arent more accesories in the box? :P
i would luv a young VITA. THAT would certainly make my day!!!
@ Otaku_Girl: Huh? Vita was already released. Her appearance is identical in both the A’s and StrikerS series.
@actar: seriously??? well i did only c the 1st ep of MGLN ^.^;
@Otaku_Girl: Well than it’s about time you watch it^^
@kanethemessias: ive been meaning 2 but the TMOHS fan blog im workin gon is keeping me PLENTY busy
srry 4 double posting but OMG KANETHEMESSIAS U GOT UR WISH!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.goodsmile.info/fusion/en/224/TAF+GSC+2010.html
(O.O) God answers the lil prayers 2!
@Otaku_Girl: Oh they really did it
Now I want that Amu and Cirno got figmatized! (^.^)
But wich version of Amu should they make?
Her school uniform looks cool but amulet heart is also nice
@ KaneTheMessias: I want to see a Youmu and Aya figma though. (^.^)
@ kanethemessias: both! ^3^ u kno figma, they do all SORTS of vers. (the amulet hearts might b xclusivs though :S) n e way it wont mattr cuz i cant buy figmas n e more dues 2 their fragility (mayb a revoltech figure 2)
@Otaku_Girl: If you think about that way than all figures are fragil
If you are careful enough than nothing will happen
The more figures you get the more you get used to their fragility and weakness
the school uniform might be exclusive and amulet heart
might be exclusive exclusive (^.^) whether exclusive or not I will buy it!
We just can hope they make our figures
@kanethemessias: hehe i guess its logical when u put it th@ way ^.^;
ill keep checkin the site evry day n c if they made 1!!!!!!!!!! ^O^
My personal opinion would be that this Fate seem to inherit that angry face from Vita, along with the loli body sculpt.
